In this work, a Graphene Oxide (GO) nano-sheet and SiO2 micro-bead hybrid system based on a frozen matrix was investigated for its enhanced optical nonlinear performance. A frozen matrix is a novel approach that hosts the optical nonlinear nano-particles, which combines the strengths from both liquid and solid phase systems for high performance photonic applications. SiO2 micro-beads were used to induce a local field enhancement effect that improved the optical nonlinearity of GO nano-sheets. The nonlinear performance of the hybrid system is several orders higher than the existing GO nano-sheet liquid dispersion. In addition, this frozen matrix and the local field enhancement effect are two facile and versatile methods that can be applied to many types of nano-particle dispersions.

Most of the developed flexible hydrogel supercapacitors struggle to maintain their electrochemical stability and structural integrity under tensile strain. Therefore, developing a flexible supercapacitor with excellent mechanical properties and stable electrochemical performance under different strains remains a challenge. Based on the previous cartilage-like structure, we designed a new coarse nanofiber bundle and ordered network.

Conductive hydrogels have great potential for applications in flexible wearable sensors due to the combination of biocompatibility, mechanical flexibility and electrical conductivity. However, constructing conductive hydrogels with high toughness, low hysteresis and skin-like modulus simultaneously remains challenging. In the present study, we prepared a tough and conductive polyacrylamide/pullulan/ammonium sulfate hydrogel with a semi-interpenetrating network.

Spermatozoa cryopreservation has been widely used for animal genetic conservation. Despite advances in chicken semen cryopreservation, the mechanism of spermatozoa cryodamage remains to be revealed. The cryopreservation process induces motion parameter decreased, structure damaged, proteomic and antioxidant system remodeled in spermatozoa.

Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a well-established technique that allows to determine the distribution of small molecules, such as lipids, metabolites, and drugs, as well as large molecules in tissue sections. Because of the tissue heterogeneity, resulting in different matrix effects, and to the fact that the measured compounds are not entirely "extracted" from the tissue during the measurement, the absolute quantitative aspect of MSI is limited. To combine compound quantification with spatial information on fresh frozen unstained tissue sections, laser (capture) microdissection has been used to isolate tissue sections for compound extraction and LC-MS/MS quantification.

We present a fully automated cryogenic sample insertion and ejection system for use with low-temperature EPR probes. We show how the system can be implemented on a conventional EPR spectrometer and that ejection and insertion is reliably possible at temperatures down to 10 K. Furthermore, we investigate the glass properties of a 0.
