A geometry of a catoptric imaging system using three mirrors in an AlphaZ configuration is presented. This geometry allows large field of view and large aperture catoptric systems, useful for optronic pods as an example. A proof of concept with an 18×24 degree full field of view and a F/1.5 aperture is built using slow tool servo and 5 axis machining and characterized in the long wave infrared domain. The built system achieves nearly diffraction limited performance.

Why SbSe/CdS Interface Produces Higher Power Conversion Efficiency.
J Phys Chem Lett

College of Physics Science and Technology, Hebei University, Baoding 071002, China.
Developing the Cd-free electron transport layer (ETL) is a crucial subject in the field of antimony selenide (SbSe) solar cells. At present, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the Cd-free SbSe solar cell is still substantially lower than that of CdS-based devices. It is significant to reveal the electron transfer features in SbSe/CdS heterojunction and SbSe/Cd-free ETL heterojunction for development of a Cd-free SbSe solar cell with high PCE.

Individuals in the veterinary profession are experiencing significant mental health and wellbeing challenges. A holistic view of wellbeing, which encompasses both physical and mental health, underscores their interconnected nature. This integrated approach reduces the artificial separation of wellbeing facets, and highlights how mental states influence not only individuals, but also their interactions with animals, the environment, and others in the workplace.

Background: With increasing evidence supporting three-dimensional (3D) automated breast (AB) ultrasound (US) for supplemental screening of breast cancer in increased-risk populations, including those with dense breasts and in limited-resource settings, there is an interest in developing more robust, cost-effective, and high-resolution 3DUS imaging techniques. Compared with specialized ABUS systems, our previously developed point-of-care 3D ABUS system addresses these needs and is compatible with any conventional US transducer, which offers a cost-effective solution and improved availability in clinical practice. While conventional US transducers have high in-plane resolution (axial and lateral), their out-of-plane resolution is constrained by the poor intrinsic elevational US resolution.

Clathrin proteins, key elements of the vesicle coat, play a crucial role in various cellular processes, including neural function, signal transduction, and endocytosis. Disruptions in clathrin protein functions have been associated with a wide range of diseases, such as Alzheimer's, neurodegeneration, viral infection, and cancer. Therefore, correctly identifying clathrin protein functions is critical to unravel the mechanism of these fatal diseases and designing drug targets.

Background: Over the past 20 years, surgical treatment of obesity, or metabolic surgery, has established itself as an extremely efficient and sustainable therapy for treating severely overweight patients. Compared to non-surgical weight reduction procedures, surgical techniques have been shown to be superior in all studies, both in terms of short-term and long-term effectiveness. On the other hand, the invasiveness of the procedures is something that many patients view critically.
