The absorption of light is very important task for retina photoreceptors. Graphene is an energy harvesting material and one of the best models for the electromagnetic wave absorption and its conversion into signals. In this paper, an electromagnetic modeling of human retinal photoreceptors has been presented based on graphene coated material as a receiver antenna. The proposed electromagnetic model based on dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is being analyzed for retina photoreceptors of human eye (cones and rods) by Finite Integral Method (FIM) collaborated with CST MWS. The results show that the model is good for vision spectrum with a proper field enhancement in cone photoreceptor due to its sensitivity to light. The results indicate proper S (return loss below -10 dB) with invaluable resonances in a wide range of frequencies from 405 THz to 790 THz (vision spectrum), suitable S (insertion loss 3-dB bandwidth), very good field distribution for flowing the power within desired radiation characteristics. The drawbacks of conventional model (no coating) have been resolved by presenting this one at blue spectrum specifically. Finally, mfERG clinical and experimental results show that this model can stimulate the electrochemical voltages and currents in photoreceptor cells.

Molybdenum disulfide quantum dots (MoS2 QDs) is a new type of graphite like nanomaterial, which exhibited well chemical stability, unique fluorescence characteristics, and excellent biocompatibility. The conventional hydrothermal synthesis of MoS2 generally requires a long-term reaction at high temperature and high pressure. Herein, we have developed a simple and fast MoS2 QDs synthesis scheme using microwave heating, and further modified the surface of MoS2 QDs using 3-aminophenylboronic acid.

Neurodegenerative diseases, characterized by the progressive deterioration of neuronal function and structure, pose significant global public health and economic challenges. Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), a key regulator of neuroplasticity and neuronal survival, has emerged as a critical biomarker for various neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders, including Alzheimer's disease. Traditional diagnostic methods, such as Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) assays, face limitations in terms of sensitivity, stability, reproducibility, and cost-effectiveness.

Graphene oxide (GO) is an amphiphilic and versatile graphene-based nanomaterial that is extremely promising for targeted drug delivery, which aims to administer drugs in a spatially and temporally controlled manner. A typical GO nanocarrier features a polyethylene glycol coating and conjugation to an active targeting ligand. However, it is challenging to accurately model GO dots, because of their intrinsically complex and not unique structure.

This study addresses the thermal management challenge in battery systems by enhancing phase change material composites with Ni-P and Ni-P-Cu coatings on phase change material/expanded graphite structures. Traditional phase change materials are limited by low thermal conductivity and mechanical stability, which restricts their effectiveness in high-demand applications. Unlike previous studies, this work integrates Ni-P and Ni-P-Cu coatings to significantly improve both the thermal conductivity and mechanical strength of phase change material/expanded graphite composites, filling a crucial gap in battery thermal management solutions.
