Although various bioinspired devices designed to increase absorption and minimize reflection have been developed, there is no research focusing on wideband electromagnetic (EM) absorbers at 75-110 GHz, which is not conducive to the advancement of millimeter wave technology. Herein, inspired by the ultrablack butterfly scale nanostructure, an innovative flexible multistage honeycomb structure absorber (FMHSA) of carbonyl iron (CIP)/multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/flexible photopolymer resin (FPR) composite is successfully prepared by digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing. FMHSA exhibits excellent EM wave absorption performance with full band absorption at 75-110 GHz under different bending states. At the bending angle of 150°, The effective absorption bandwidth of FMHSA is 35 GHz, covering the whole W-band, and its minimum reflection loss (RL) value is -37.04 dB. Moreover, integrated functionalities are revealed in the FMHSA, including superior flexibility, recoverability, and lightweight feature. Such findings may prove to be useful for the design of flexible absorbers with potential EM absorption and improved wearability.

The recent astronomical observations of the simplest aromatic nitrile benzonitrile, -CHCN, followed by a five-membered and a bicyclic CN-functionalized ring in TMC-1 have provided a significant impetus to the field for searches of cyclic complex organic molecules in space. One such example is 2,4,6-cycloheptatriene-1-carbonitrile, a seven-membered ring with a -CN group attached to the sp-hybridized carbon atom. With a permanent electric dipole moment of 4.

W-band (75-110 GHz) is a potential radio frequency band to provide long-distance wireless links for mobile data transmission. This paper proposes and experimentally demonstrates high-speed wireless transmission at W-band using photonics-aided method, including optical heterodyne, photonics-aided down-conversion without RF oscillator and coherent detection. A comparison between the photonics-aided method and the conventional electronic method employing solid-state electronic devices is conducted for the first time.

With the development of 5G technology, the accurate measurement of the complex permittivity of a printed circuit board (PCB) in the wide frequency range is crucial for the design of high-frequency circuits. In this paper, a microwave measurement device and method based on the double-sided parallel-strip line (DSPSL) resonator have been developed to measure the complex permittivity of typical PCBs in the vertical direction. The device includes the DSPSL resonator, the DSPSL coupling probe, a pressure monitor, a Farran C4209 vector network analyzer (100 K to 9 GHz), and a FEV-10-PR-0006 frequency multiplier (75-110 GHz).

Article Synopsis
- Maintaining transparent surfaces on protective covers with transparent heaters is crucial for safety in self-driving cars, especially in extreme weather conditions.
- Achieving both high light transmission and low electrical resistance in these heaters is a significant challenge, but metamaterial design offers a solution.
- The developed heaters are ultra-thin, microwave-transparent, and can heat up to 180°C quickly, effectively removing thin ice layers in freezing temperatures.
Wireless data traffic is expected to exponentially increase in the future, and meeting this demand will require high data rate photonic-wireless links operating in the W-band (75-110 GHz). For this purpose, pulse-amplitude-modulation with four levels (PAM-4)-based intensity modulation and direct detection (IM-DD) photonic-wireless systems are preferred due to their simplified configuration. In this Letter, we present an experimental demonstration of an IM-DD PAM-4 photonic-wireless link in the W-band, leveraging a monolithic dual-laser photonic chip to enhance integration.
