We have investigated transmission of ultrasound signals from a speaker in air through a 400 µm thick borosilicate glass plate, similar to those found in consumer electronics products such as mobile phones and tablets. In order to enhance transmission, we took advantage of resonances in the glass plate and a cavity, which is placed between the glass and the microphone. The results show that it is possible to achieve transmission of a signal with bandwidth of approximately 5 kHz with less than -10 dB attenuation, and only -2 dB attenuation at the resonance peak frequency. With more optimized assembly the attenuation can be further reduced. Finite element simulations and analytical considerations show that there are two main resonance peaks, attributed to the glass resonance and cavity resonance, respectively. The geometry can be tuned to exploit the synergy of these two resonances in order to tailor the peak frequency, the bandwidth and to optimize transmission.

Controlling the nucleation, growth, and dissolution of Li is crucial for the high cycling stability in rechargeable Li metal batteries. The overpotential for Li nucleation (η) on Li alloys such as Li-Au is generally lower than that on metal current collectors (CCs) with very limited Li solubility like Cu. However, the alloying process of CC and its impact on the Li nucleation kinetics remain unclear.

In recent years, the advancement of high-frequency communication systems, particularly 5G and future 6G technologies, has increased the need for substrates that minimize signal loss and electromagnetic interference. Glass substrates are highly desirable for these applications due to their low dielectric constant and excellent surface smoothness. However, conventional electroless Cu plating methods struggle to achieve strong adhesion between Cu and the smooth, low-polarity surface of glass, making this an important challenge to address.

The emerging metal halide perovskites are challenging the traditional scintillators in the field of radiation detection and radiography. However, they lack the capability for remote and real-time radiation monitoring and imaging in confined and hostile conditions. To address this issue, details on an inorganic scintillating glass fiber incorporating perovskite quantum dots (QDs) as highly efficient pixelated radiation emitters are reported, while the glass fibers themselves serve at the same time as low-loss waveguides, enabling long-distance and underwater X-ray detection.
