Purpose: To compare the behavior of aqueous humor (AH) and analyze flow differences by comparing the volume and velocity of the flow after two different models of implantable collamer lens (ICL) placement.
Methods: Computational fluid dynamics with numerical simulation using Ansys Fluent software was performed to compare the AH flow through a peripheral iridotomy (PI), which is typically performed after implantation of a V4b lens to the central hole of a V4c lens. The volume and flow rate in 24 scenarios were compared according to the type of lens, pupil diameter (PD) (3.5 or 5.5 mm), the vault (100, 350, and 800 μm) and the PI (single or double, 180 or 360 μm).
Results: With a standard vault (350 μm) and a PD of 3.5 mm, the volume of AH that flows from the posterior to the anterior chamber through the PI (V4b lens: 73.4% in 360 μm and 17.3% in 180 μm) and for the central hole (V4c lens: 75.7%) is larger than in the case of a PD of 5.5 mm (13.9%, 0.91%, and 15.3% respectively). When the vault is low (100; PD 3.5 mm), the volume of AH that reaches the central hole of the V4c lens is diminished (52.0%), being 5.1% if the pupil is enlarged.
Conclusions: AH flow varies depending on the type of ICL implanted, whether it is implanted with an iridotomy or a central hole on the lens, the PD, and the vault.

Printable mesoscopic perovskite solar cells (p-MPSCs) provide an opportunity for low-cost manufacturing of photovoltaics. However, the performance of p-MPSCs is severely compromised by iodine defects. This study presents a strategy by incorporating polyaniline (PANI) to achieve both iodine recycling and iodine defect passivation to significantly improve the performance of p-MPSCs.

We performed the first simulations of accretion onto the compact objects in the Reissner-Nordström (RN) space-time. The results obtained in general relativity are representative of those for spherically symmetric naked singularities and black holes in a number of modified gravity theories. A possible application of these calculations is to the active galactic nuclei with their powerful jets and outflows.

Article Synopsis
- AgSbTe is a promising p-type thermoelectric material that has seen improvements focused on reducing lattice thermal conductivity, but its low power factor limits device performance.
- Recent research shows that doping AgSbTe with Sn creates a new impurity band, enhancing electrical properties and achieving a record-high power factor of 27 μWcmK and a peak thermoelectric figure of merit zT of 2.5 at 673 K.
- The improved performance is due to increased hole concentration and reduced bipolar conductivity, resulting in an efficient thermoelectric device with energy conversion efficiencies of 12.1% and a power density of 1.13 Wcm.
An Efficient Ultra-Narrowband Yellow Emitter Based on a Double-Boron-Embedded Tetraazacyclophane.

Ultra-narrowband and highly modifiable multiple resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) materials are crucial for realizing high-performance wide-color-gamut display applications. Despite progress, most MR-TADF emitters remain confined to blue and green wavelengths, with difficulties extending into longer wavelengths without significant spectral broadening, which compromises color purity in full-color organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays. In this work, we present a novel tetraazacyclophane-based architecture embedding dual boron atoms to remarkedly enhance intramolecular charge transfer through the strategic positioning of boron and nitrogen atoms.

ConspectusWhile traditional quantum chemical theories have long been central to research, they encounter limitations when applied to complex situations. Two of the most widely used quantum chemical approaches, Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT), perform well in cases with relatively weak electron correlation, such as the ground-state minima of closed-shell systems (Franck-Condon region). However, their applicability diminishes in more demanding scenarios.
