In this Letter, a sensitive light-induced thermoelastic spectroscopy (LITES)-based trace gas sensor by exploiting a super tiny quartz tuning fork (QTF) was demonstrated. The prong length and width of this QTF are 3500 µm and 90 µm, respectively, which determines a resonant frequency of 6.5 kHz. The low resonant frequency is beneficial to increase the energy accumulation time in a LITES sensor. The geometric dimension of QTF on the micrometer scale is advantageous to obtain a great thermal expansion and thus can produce a strong piezoelectric signal. The temperature gradient distribution of the super tiny QTF was simulated based on the finite element analysis and is higher than that of the commercial QTF with 32.768 kHz. Acetylene (CH) was used as the analyte. Under the same conditions, the use of the super tiny QTF achieved a 1.64-times signal improvement compared with the commercial QTF. The system shows excellent long-term stability according to the Allan deviation analysis, and a minimum detection limit (MDL) would reach 190 ppb with an integration time of 220 s.

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have shown remarkable progress in medical image segmentation. However, the lesion segmentation remains a challenge to state-of-the-art CNN-based algorithms due to the variance in scales and shapes. On the one hand, tiny lesions are hard to delineate precisely from the medical images which are often of low resolutions.

Recently, the application of two-dimensional (2D) piezoelectric materials has been seriously hindered because most of them possess only in-plane piezoelectricity but lack out-of-plane piezoelectricity. In this work, using first-principles calculation, by atomic substitution of penta-graphene (PG) with tiny out-of-plane piezoelectricity, we design and predict stable 2D X-PG (X = Si or Ge) semiconductors with excellent in-plane and out-of-plane piezoelectricity and extremely high in-plane hole mobility. Among them, Ge-PG exhibits better performance in all aspects with an in-plane strain piezoelectric coefficient = 8.

Article Synopsis
- - The study introduces a new pest detection framework, called SRNet-YOLO, designed to improve the identification of tiny and very tiny pests in cotton fields, which are challenging for existing object detection models due to their small sizes.
- - SRNet-YOLO integrates advanced features such as a super-resolution reconstruction module (FM-SR) to enhance feature detail and a fusion mechanism (BiFormerAF) to combine these features with existing data, resulting in better detection accuracy.
- - Experimental results indicate that SRNet-YOLO significantly outperforms previous models, achieving 78.2% mean Average Precision (mAP) for tiny pests and 57% mAP for very tiny pests, showing considerable improvements over models like YOLO
