Ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) tags need to be attached or embedded to objects in various environments to achieve non-contact automatic identification. Graphene shows unique electrical and optical properties, which makes it become a promising material for radio frequency devices. In this paper, the transparent UHF RFID tags were fabricated based on graphene films with different number of stacked layers prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Through structural design, parameter optimization and experimental measurements, the reading distance of the transparent RFID tags was tested and compared. As the graphene film stacked layers increased, the reading distance of graphene-based RFID tags was farther. The UHF RFID tag based on the CVD-grown graphene with the light transmittance of 88% reached the maximum reading distance of 2.78 m in the frequency range of 860-960 MHz. In addition, the reading distance of graphene-based RFID tags at different bending angles and cycles was measured. The results reveal transparent graphene-based RFID tags have good flexibility and stability and can be used in flexible transparent devices.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, with closed head injury (CHI) being one of the most common forms of TBI. Preclinical modeling of TBI is challenging due to confounding factors like craniectomy and poorly controlled injury severity. This study proposes a non-invasive CHI model using directed shockwaves.

The digital transformation of metrology is one of the most active activities in the field of metrology at present, where the digital calibration certificate (DCC) being developed is the topic receiving the most concern in the current digital transformation. In practical industrial applications, the issue of storage carrier for the DCC plays a crucial role in its promotion and implementation. To address this issue, a DCC meta-model called DCC-Lite schema has been designed along with a corresponding processing method.

Article Synopsis
  • Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks (BBWD) are moving north into areas occupied by Eastern Wood Ducks (WODU), but their nesting habits are still not well understood.
  • To研究 their nesting behavior, researchers utilized advanced technology like passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags and RFID readers on nest boxes, allowing them to track visits and behaviors of both BBWD and WODU during key nesting stages.
  • The study found that while both species visited new and old nest boxes equally, BBWD favored old boxes for nesting significantly more than WODU, challenging previous expectations and highlighting gaps in traditional research methods.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study compared the effectiveness of two newer methods for locating non-palpable breast lesions—Magnetic Seed (Magseed) and Radiofrequency Identification (RFID)—against traditional wire-guided techniques.
  • - Using turkey breasts and raisins as simulation models, both techniques achieved a 100% success rate in lesion localization, but Magseed had shorter operation times while RFID had shorter incisions.
  • - Overall, neither method showed a significant advantage over the other in terms of effectiveness or surgical outcomes, suggesting both can be used safely for lesion localization.
