Double-Ronchi shearing interferometry is a promising technique for insitu wavefront aberration measurement of the projection lens in photolithography systems. In practice, the non-uniformity of illumination is an important issue affecting the interference field, which has not been systematically researched. In this work, the interference field errors caused by non-uniform illumination distributions are analyzed utilizing the theories of scalar diffraction. The theoretical analysis has been verified by simulation and fundamental experiments. Results show that the uniformity requirements for the abrupt annular, Gaussian, and uniform random illumination distribution (RD) are 0.9434, 0.8439, and 0.2751, respectively, with a shear ratio of 5% and a relative wavefront reconstruction error of 1%. The uniformity of the three distributions is reduced to 0.6513, 0.5864, and 0.1234, respectively, with the shear ratio shrunk to 3%. When the shear ratio is less than 1%, there is no specific requirement for illumination uniformity.

Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) has garnered increasing attention as a safe and effective peripheral neuromodulation technique in various clinical and cognitive neuroscience fields. However, there is ongoing debate about whether the commonly used earlobe control interferes with the objective assessment of taVNS regulatory effects. This study aims to further explore the regulatory effects of taVNS and earlobe stimulation (ES) on alertness levels and physiological indicators following 24 h of sleep deprivation (SD), based on previous findings that both taVNS and ES showed significant positive effects.

Creatinine (Ctn) is a biomarker for chronic kidney disease (CKD). In this study, a highly sensitive and specific detection method for Ctn based on a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) based electrochemical biosensor was developed. Mxene (Mx), which has high absorption properties, was modified using carbon screen-printed electrodes (SPCE).

As modern communication and detection technologies advance at a swift pace, multifunctional electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials with active/positive infrared stealth, hydrophobicity, and electric-thermal conversion ability have received extensive attention. Meeting the aforesaid requirements simultaneously remains a huge challenge. In this research, the melamine foam (MF)/polypyrrole (PPy) nanowire arrays (MF@PPy) were fabricated via one-step electrochemical polymerization.
