Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) have been attracting tremendous attention in application of enhanced optoelectronic devices owing to their capability of localizing electromagnetic waves in deep subwavelength scale. We propose a plasmonic mid-infrared InAsSb-based n-i-p photodiode with electrically-controlled photocurrent enhancement achieved by controlling the overlap between SPP depth and the absorption layer, from which maximum electrically controlled enhancement factors of ~5x and ~6x have been achieved for room temperature (293 K) and 77 K operation, respectively, corresponding to electrical tuning factors of 11.9 and 26. The maximum detectivities obtained at the two temperatures are 0.8 × 10 Jones and 5 × 10 Jones, respectively. This electrically controlled enhancement expands the application capability of plasmonic photodiodes.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a chronic disability that occurs due to the loss of neurons. The traditional methods to detect AD involve questionnaires and expensive neuro-imaging tests, which are time-consuming, subjective, and inconvenient to the target population. To overcome these limitations, Electroencephalogram (EEG) based methods have been developed to classify AD patients from normal controlled (NC) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) subjects.

Self-adaptive dielectrics (SADs), with the characteristics of rapid charge dissipation in electric field distortion, is regarded as the future material for package insulation of advanced electronic devices. The current landscape of SADs is incapable to achieve tunable nonlinear electrical conductivity and threshold field strength due to the inherent Schottky barrier, significantly limiting the application scenarios of SADs. Here, a strategy is reported to construct a stepped Schottky barrier through virus-like structures, which are composed of subminiature metal particles and semiconductor microspheres.

Purpose: Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation (TEAS) is a noninvasive technique that involves the application of electrical stimulation to specific acupoints on the skin. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of TEAS in alleviating postoperative pain after gynecological surgeries.
Method: A systematic search of multiple electronic databases was carried out to identify relevant studies that investigated the use of TEAS for postoperative pain management in gynecological surgery settings.

Electronic address:
Background: Minimally verbal children with autism are understudied and lack effective treatment options. Personalized continuous theta-burst stimulation (cTBS) targeting the amygdala and its circuitry may be a potential therapeutic approach for this population.
Methods: In a double-blind randomized controlled trial, minimally verbal children with autism (ages 2-8 years) received 4 weeks of cTBS.
