Ferroelectric materials are widely recognized for their ability to generate photovoltaic voltages larger than their bandgap, making them ideal candidates for photodetector applications. Here, we report a self-powered UV photodetector based on a BiNaTiO (BNT) thin film prepared by the sol-gel method. Compared with conventional photodetectors based on a single detection indicator, the demonstrated photodetector realizes UV light intensity detection over a wide linear range using a current and voltage dual indicator detection method. When the UV light intensity is lower than 1.8 mW cm, the voltage can be used to detect the light signal. Conversely, the current can be utilized to detect the signal. This method not only broadens the linear detection range of UV light intensity, making it possible to detect weak UV light of 45.2 nW cm, but also allows the detector to maintain relatively high sensitivity within the detectable range. To investigate the distribution of spatial UV light intensity, a self-powered photodetector array system has been utilized to record the output voltage signals as a map.

This study investigates the photoinduction techniques for the maximization of astaxanthin production in Chromochloris zofingiensis following heterotrophic growth. Leveraging blue light, this study enhanced carbon allocation by suppressing the tricarboxylic acid cycle and activating the methylerythritol phosphate and pentose phosphate pathways to facilitate astaxanthin accumulation. Under blue light, an astaxanthin content of 5.

Background: Acute pain management is critical in postoperative care, especially in vulnerable patient populations that may be unable to self-report pain levels effectively. Current methods of pain assessment often rely on subjective patient reports or behavioral pain observation tools, which can lead to inconsistencies in pain management. Multimodal pain assessment, integrating physiological and behavioral data, presents an opportunity to create more objective and accurate pain measurement systems.

A wearable detector to monitor visible light intensity is realized by the restrained photochromism of a hydrogel composite containing light-responsive spiropyran with hydroxyl groups (SPOH). When exposed to visible light, the SPOH experiences a ring-opening to a ring-closed transition accompanied by discoloration from red to yellow. Unlike in the solution, the photochromism/discoloration rate is strongly correlated to the cross-linking points.

The monkeypox (MPXV) outbreak in 2022 is more prevalent among individuals with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). While it is plausible that HIV-induced immunosuppression could result in a more severe progression, the exact mechanisms remain undetermined. To better understand the immunopathology of MPXV in patients with and without HIV infection, we employed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to analyze peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 6 patients hospitalized for MPXV, 3 of whom had HIV infection (HIV antibody positive & HIV RNA level below the detection limit), and 3 patients only infected with MPXV (HIV-).

Significance: Laparoscopic surgery presents challenges in localizing oncological margins due to poor contrast between healthy and malignant tissues. Optical properties can uniquely identify various tissue types and disease states with high sensitivity and specificity, making it a promising tool for surgical guidance. Although spatial frequency domain imaging (SFDI) effectively measures quantitative optical properties, its deployment in laparoscopy is challenging due to the constrained imaging environment.
