We demonstrate a passively Q-switched ytterbium-doped fiber laser based on black phosphorus (BP) flakes covered microfiber. The BP saturable absorber is fabricated by sandwiching a microfiber between two pieces of polydimethylsiloxane supported BP flakes film, which is prepared by the mechanical exfoliation method. In this case the BP flakes can be well protected from the action of air and moisture. By incorporating BP flakes covered microfiber into a ytterbium-doped ring fiber laser, stable and reliable Q-switched operation at 1064 nm can be realized via interaction between few-layers BP flakes and the evanescent field of the laser. The laser allows Q-switched pulse generation with a repetition rate in the range of 26-76 kHz and a pulse duration in the range of 5.5-2.0 μs, by varying the pump power from 38 mW to 100 mW.

Red ochre, typically derived from iron oxides and hematite, has been used since Pleistocene times for a range of different applications, practical as well as symbolic, including cave paintings and use in prehistoric burials. The importance to discover new methods for provenance determination, based on non-destructive portable techniques, represents a new challenge in the field of diagnostics of cultural heritage. This study presents the data obtained from the analysis of several non-flaked tools and ochre-stained bones, showing evidence of ochre processing at the Mesolithic site of S'omu e S'Orku in Sardinia (Italy).

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have many applications ranging from heterostructure electronics to nanofluidics and quantum technology. In order to effectively utilize 2D materials towards these ends, they must be transferred and integrated into complex device geometries. In this report, we investigate two conventional methods for the transfer of 2D materials: viscoelastic stamping with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and a heated transfer with poly bis-A carbonate (PC).

Article Synopsis
- * A significant EB effect with a blocking temperature of up to 150 K is observed in FePS/FeGaTe heterostructures, showing unusual temperature-dependent behavior, including polarity-reversal.
- * The underlying mechanism involves charge transfer at the interface that induces magnetic moments, leading to altered coupling and polarity changes in EB, which could help develop new spintronic technologies.

Article Synopsis
- A new method has been developed to achieve superlubricity on solid surfaces that remains effective in high-humidity conditions, overcoming previous challenges related to water and oxidation.
- This method uses a combination of microscale graphite flakes and graphene nanoflake-coated hydrogen-free amorphous carbon, leading to a very low coefficient of friction (0.0035) and minimal wear even after prolonged air exposure.
- The innovation allows for scaling up from tiny contacts to larger surfaces (3 mm) while maintaining efficient lubrication, opening up new possibilities for practical applications in various environments.
Infrared thermochromic antenna composite for self-adaptive thermoregulation.

Self-adaptive thermoregulation, the mechanism living organisms use to balance their temperature, holds great promise for decarbonizing cooling and heating processes. This functionality can be effectively emulated by engineering the thermal emissivity of materials to adapt to background temperature variations. Yet, solutions that marry large emissivity switching ( ) with scalability, cost-effectiveness, and design freedom are still lacking.
