Efficient and benign doping of thin films is key for materials applications and sensor development. Herein, an alternative method of doping is presented where R6G is loaded to an evolving silica thin film. Dopant loading is markedly enhanced and doping can be carried out under relatively benign conditions. The film exhibits outstanding optical quality while its mechanical strength is well-preserved. Early results show diffusion and encapsulation can be tunable.

Background: The quality of life for low vision patients is a comprehensive concept that involves multiple aspects, including physical, psychological, and social aspects. Visual impairment is an important factor in the decline of patients' quality of life. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact and feasibility of carrying out low vision rehabilitation nursing on the quality of life and nursing burden of low vision patients.

Laboratory-scale spin-coating techniques are widely employed for fabricating small-size, high-efficiency perovskite solar cells. However, achieving large-area, high-uniformity perovskite films and thus high-efficiency solar cell devices remain challenging due to the complex fluid dynamics and drying behaviors of perovskite precursor solutions during large-area fabrication processes. In this work, a high-quality, pinhole-free, large-area FAPbI perovskite film is successfully obtained via scalable blade-coating technology, assisted by a novel bidirectional Marangoni convection strategy.

Natural gas (NG) is a promising alternative to diesel for sustainable transport, potentially reducing GHG and air quality emissions significantly. However, the GHG benefits hinge on managing methane slip, the unburned methane in the exhaust of NG engines, which carries a significant global warming potential. The CH slip from NG engines is highly dependent on engine type and operation, and effective greenhouse gas emission mitigation requires that the actual operation of real-world engines is monitored.

Non-conventional food plants (or non-conventional edible plants) have the potential to serve as an excellent nutritional alternative while promoting the circular economy. Given the nutritional potential of non-conventional food plants, this study aimed to investigate and determine the composition of these plants using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP OES) combined with chemometric techniques. In this context, the following non-conventional food plant species were evaluated: serralha (Sonchus oleraceus), two species of ora-pro-nóbis, Pereskia grandifolia and Pereskia aculeata, peixinho (Nematanthus gregarius), alfavaca (Ocimum basilicum), taioba (Xanthosoma sagittifolium), capeba (Pothomorphe umbellata), tranchagem (Plantago major), and bardana (Arctium lappa).

Retinal image registration is essential for monitoring eye diseases and planning treatments, yet it remains challenging due to large deformations, minimal overlap, and varying image quality. To address these challenges, we propose RetinaRegNet, a multi-stage image registration model with zero-shot generalizability across multiple retinal imaging modalities. RetinaRegNet begins by extracting image features using a pretrained latent diffusion model.
