Encouraged by recent advances in radially-polarized laser technology, simulations have been performed of electron acceleration by a tightly-focused, ultra-short pulse in a parabolic plasma micro-channel. Milli-joule laser pulses, generated at kHz repetition rates, are shown to produce electron bunches of MeV energy, pC charge, low emittance and low divergence. The pivotal role played by the channel length in controlling the process is demonstrated, and the roles of direct and wakefield acceleration are distinguished.

Porous KTi(PO) nanoparticles are synthesized via a solvothermal method and subsequently modified with nitrogen-doped carbon layers by using polydopamine as the carbon source. The resultant KTi(PO)@N-doped carbon composite (KTP@NC) exhibits a preserved porous structure with abundant pores, facilitating ion diffusion and electrolyte infiltration. Various characterizations, including X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy, reveal the successful formation of an interconnected nitrogen-doped carbon network.

Photodegradation of antibiotics based on photocatalytic semiconductors is a promising option to alleviate water pollution. Despite its limitations, TiO-based photocatalysts are still the most widely studied materials for pollutant degradation. In this work, a pomegranate-like g-CN/C/TiO nano-heterojunction was constructed using the hydrothermal-calcination method, consisting of interconnected small crystals with a dense structure and closely contacted interface.

ConspectusAromatic functionalization reactions are some of the most fundamental transformations in organic chemistry and have been a mainstay of chemical synthesis for over a century. Reactions such as electrophilic and nucleophilic aromatic substitution (EAS and SAr, respectively) represent the two most fundamental reaction classes for arene elaboration and still today typify the most utilized methods for aromatic functionalization. Despite the reliable reactivity accessed by these venerable transformations, the chemical space that can be accessed by EAS and SAr reactions is inherently limited due to the electronic requirements of the substrate.

Novel therapeutic strategies are essential for enhancing efficacy and accelerating the treatment of diabetes mellitus. This investigation focused on incorporating empagliflozin into a composite of polylactic acid and polycaprolactone, resulting in the fabrication of drug-loaded fibrous patches (DFPs) for transdermal application, both by electrospinning (ES) and by pressurized gyration (PG). Scanning electron microscopy results revealed that DFPs generated through the PG method exhibited smaller diameters and a larger surface area than ES.

Background: Alterations in intercellular communication driven by cellular senescence constitute an important factor in skin aging. Migrasome, a newly discovered vesicular organelle, efficiently participates in intercellular communication; however, the relationship between cellular senescence and migrasomes remains unreported.
Objective: This study aims to explore the possible relationship between cellular senescence and migrasomes formation, and investigate the effects of young fibroblast-derived migrasomes on senescent keratinocytes and wound healing in aged skin.
