A simple trinitro cobalt complex [Co(3,3'-diamino--methylpropanediamine)(NO)] was proven to be photoswitchable at room temperature as the 2 polymorph with the maximum nitro-to-nitrito conversion reaching 55%. Solid-state IR, UV-vis and XRD indicate that the transformation can be triggered optically in both ways 470 nm and 570-660 nm LED light, respectively.

Photoassisted lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries offer a promising approach to enhance the catalytic transformation kinetics of polysulfide. However, the development is greatly hindered by inadequate photo absorption and severe photoexcited carriers recombination. Herein, a photonic crystal sulfide heterojunction structure is designed as a bifunctional electrode scaffold for photoassisted Li-S batteries.

Neuroprotective Actions of Cannabinoids in the Bovine Isolated Retina: Role of Hydrogen Sulfide.

Pharmaceuticals (Basel)

January 2025

Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Texas Southern University, Houston, TX 77004, USA.

Both hydrogen sulfide and endocannabinoids can protect the neural retina from toxic insults under in vitro and in vivo conditions. The aim of the present study was two-fold: (a) to examine the neuroprotective action of cannabinoids [methanandamide and 2-arachidonyl glycerol (2-AG)] against hydrogen peroxide (HO)-induced oxidative damage in the isolated bovine retina and (b) to evaluate the role of endogenously biosynthesized hydrogen sulfide (HS) in the inhibitory actions of cannabinoids on the oxidative stress in the bovine retina. Isolated neural retinas from cows were exposed to oxidative damage using HO (100 µM) for 10 min.

: Serotonin and the serotonin transporter (SERT) may have a multifaceted, but not fully understood, role in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and its impact on mental health in this group of patients. This study aimed to investigate changes in serotonin and the serotonin transporter (SERT) and their association with depressive and insomnia symptoms. : This study included 76 participants (OSA group: = 36, control group (CG): = 40) who underwent polysomnography, while venous blood samples (evening and morning) were analyzed for serotonin and the SERT using ELISA.

Carbon-based nanomaterials with excellent electrical and optical properties are highly sought after for a plethora of hybrid applications, ranging from advanced sustainable energy storage devices to opto-electronic components. In this contribution, we examine in detail the dependence of electrical conductivity and the ultrafast optical nonlinearity of graphene oxide (GO) films on their degrees of reduction, as well as the link between the two properties. The GO films were first synthesized through the vacuum filtration method and then reduced partially and controllably by way of femtosecond laser direct writing with varying power doses.

All-Fiber Micro-Ring Resonator Based p-Si/n-ITO Heterojunction Electro-Optic Modulator.

Materials (Basel)

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Radio Frequency Heterogeneous Integration, International Collaborative Laboratory of 2D Materials for Optoelectronics Science and Technology, Institute for Advanced Study in Nuclear Energy & Safety, Interdisciplinary Center of High Magnetic Field Physics of Shenzhen University, College of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering, Shenzhen University, Shenzhen 518060, China.

With the rapid advancement of information technology, the data demands in transmission rates, processing speed, and storage capacity have been increasing significantly. However, silicon electro-optic modulators, characterized by their weak electro-optic effect, struggle to balance modulation efficiency and bandwidth. To overcome this limitation, we propose an electro-optic modulator based on an all-fiber micro-ring resonator and a p-Si/n-ITO heterojunction, achieving high modulation efficiency and large bandwidth.
