We experimentally demonstrate the generation of microwave signals with linewidths below 3 Hz and a tuning range over 35 GHz from a semiconductor laser subject to optical injection and opto-electronic feedback. The feedback loop uses neither a microwave spectral filter nor an amplifier to achieve a reduction in the microwave linewidth of six orders of magnitude. Two microwave frequencies, 25.4 and 45.9 GHz, are chosen to highlight single-sideband phase measurements of -105 and -95 dBc/Hz at a 10-kHz offset, respectively. Finally, we demonstrate that longer-term stability can be further improved via asymmetric mutual injection.

Space division multiplexing (SDM) with Hermite Gaussian (HG) modes, for instance, can significantly boost the transmission link capacity. However, SDM is not suitable in existing single mode fiber networks, and in long-distance wireless, microwave, THz or optical links, the far-field beam distribution may present a problem. Recently it has been demonstrated, that time domain HG modes can be employed to enhance the link capacity.

Introduction: The anti-cancer properties of zinc oxide-doped carbon dots (CDs/ZnO) in inhibiting triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) progression merit more investigation.
Methods: With citric acid as the carbon source, urea applied as the nitrogen source, and zinc oxide (ZnO) used as a reactive dopant, CDs/ZnO were synthesized by microwave heating in the current study, followed by the characterization and biocompatibility assessments. Subsequently, the anti-cancer capabilities of CDs/ZnO against TNBC progression were evaluated by various biochemical and molecular techniques, including viability, proliferation, migration, invasion, adhesion, clonogenicity, cell cycle distribution, apoptosis, redox homeostasis, metabolome, and transcriptome assays of MDA-MB-231 cells.

Background: Gut dysbiosis, chronic diseases, and microbial recurrent infections concerns have driven the researchers to explore phytochemicals from medicinal and food homologous plants to modulate gut microbiota, mitigate diseases, and inhibit pathogens. Gingerols have attracted attention as therapeutic agents due to their diverse biological activities like gut microbiome regulation, gastro-protective, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and anti-oxidative effects.
Purpose: This review aimed to summarize the gingerols health-promoting potential, specifically focusing on the regulation of gut microbiome, attenuation of disease symptoms, mechanisms of action, and signaling pathways involved.

This article presents a high-frequency characterization from 1 up to 10 GHz of electroplated conductive filaments in 3D printed microwave topologies. This study implements different microstrip lines and antennas to compare their performance as-is and with the electroplating process. The results for the microstrip lines show a significant decrease in losses for the electroplated devices, even reaching loss levels of pure copper devices.
