In this paper, we proposed a stretchable radio frequency (RF) sensor to detect strain direction and level. The stretchable sensor is composed of two complementary split ring resonators (CSRR) with microfluidic channels. In order to achieve stretchability, liquid metal (eutectic gallium-indium, EGaIn) and Ecoflex substrate are used. Microfluidic channels are built by Ecoflex elastomer and microfluidic channel frames. A three-dimensional (3D) printer is used for fabrication of microfluidic channel frames. Two CSRR resonators are designed to resonate 2.03 GHz and 3.68 GHz. When the proposed sensor is stretched from 0 to 8 mm along the + direction, the resonant frequency is shifted from 3.68 GHz to 3.13 GHz. When the proposed sensor is stretched from 0 to 8 mm along the - direction, the resonant frequency is shifted from 2.03 GHz to 1.78 GHz. Therefore, we can detect stretched length and direction from independent variation of two resonant frequencies.

We present a robust 'splice-at-will' CRISPR RNA (crRNA) engineering mechanism that overcomes the limitations of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas system in directly detecting ultrashort RNAs. In this strategy, an intact Cas12a crRNA can be split from almost any site of the spacer region to obtain a truncated crRNA (tcrRNA) that cannot activate Cas12a even after binding an auxiliary DNA activator. While splicing tcrRNAs with a moiety of ultrashort RNA, the formed combination can work together to activate Cas12a efficiently, enabling 'splice-at-will' crRNA engineering.

This paper presents a bandpass filter (BPF) exploiting hybrid shielded eighth-mode circular substrate-integrated waveguide (SD-EMCSIW) and complementary split ring resonator (CSRR) resonators. The proposed BPF leverages the SD-EMCSIW resonator with a 45-degree angle to create a second-order BPF with a mixed electromagnetic coupling scheme. Detailed analyses of the related electromagnetic characteristics and operating mechanisms have been performed.

Membrane-assisted direct seawater splitting (DSS) technologies are actively studied as a promising route to produce green hydrogen (H), whereas the indispensable use of supporting electrolytes that help to extract water and provide electrochemically-accelerated reaction media results in a severe energy penalty, consuming up to 12.5 % of energy input when using a typical KOH electrolyte. We bypass this issue by designing a zero-gap electrolyzer configuration based on the integration of cation exchange membrane and bipolar membrane assemblies, which protects stable DSS operation against the precipitates and corrosion in the absence of additional supporting electrolytes.
