We report on the fabrication of fractal dendrites using laser-induced melting of aluminum alloys. We target boron carbide (B4C), which is one of the most effective radiation-absorbing materials characterized by a low coefficient of thermal expansion. Due to the high fragility of B4C crystals, we were able to introduce its nanoparticles into a stabilization aluminum matrix of AA385.0. The high-intensity laser field action led to the formation of composite dendrite structures under the effect of local surface melting. Modelling the dendrite cluster growth confirms its fractal nature and sheds light on the pattern behavior of the resulting quasicrystal structure.

Clarifying the pore-throat size and pore size distribution of tight sandstone reservoirs, quantitatively characterizing the heterogeneity of pore-throat structures, is crucial for evaluating reservoir effectiveness and predicting productivity. Through a series of rock physics experiments including gas measurement of porosity and permeability, casting thin sections, scanning electron microscopy, and high-pressure mercury injection, the quality of reservoir properties and microscopic pore-throat structure characteristics were systematically studied. Combined with fractal geometry theory, the effects of different pore throat types, geometric shapes and scale sizes on the fractal characteristics and heterogeneity of sandstone pore throat structure are clarified.

This paper introduces a novel class of chaotic attractors by lever- aging different activation functions within neurons possessing multiple dendrites. We propose a comprehensive framework where the activation functions in neurons are varied, allowing for diverse behaviors such as amplification, fluctuation, and folding of scrolls within the resulting chaotic attractors. By employing wavelet functions and other model-specific activation functions, we demonstrate the capability to modify scroll characteristics, including size and direction.

Article Synopsis
- Mocha diffusion is an important but poorly understood phenomenon in pottery painting that involves the spreading of ethanol droplets on acrylic paint.
- The study found that as the concentration of ethanol increases, the spreading radius of the droplets expands, while the fractal period decreases, suggesting a unique pattern formation.
- Marangoni flow, caused by the evaporation of ethanol, plays a key role in developing the intricate "dendrite" shapes during this process, emphasizing the need for further research into the dynamics of Mocha diffusion.

Exploring how neurons in the mammalian body interact with the artificial interface of implants can be used to learn about fundamental cell behavior and to refine medical applications. For fundamental and applied research, it is crucial to determine the conditions that encourage neurons to maintain their natural behavior during interactions with non-natural interfaces. Our previous investigations quantified the deterioration of neuronal connectivity when their dendrites deviate from their natural fractal geometry.

The bimetallic nanostructure of Au and Ag can integrate two distinct properties into a novel substrate compared to single metal nanostructures. This work presents a rapid and sensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate for detecting illegal food additives and dyes of crystal violet (CV) and alkali blue 6B (AB 6B). Au-Ag alloy nanoparticles/Ag nanowires (Au-Ag ANPs/Ag NWs) were prepared by solid-state ionics method and vacuum thermal evaporation method at 5μA direct current electric field (DCEF), the molar ratio of Au to Ag was 1:18.
