The optical properties [absorption coefficient (μ) and reduced scattering coefficient (μ')] and internal quality [firmness (FI), moisture content (MC), and soluble solids content (SSC)] of stored potatoes at 25 °C were determined, along with ultrastructure observation. Potato tissue ultrastructure changed significantly with storage time, exhibiting enhanced scattering properties and a monotonic increase in μ'. The μ spectra showed significant correlations with MC and SSC, while the μ' spectra were more strongly correlated with FI. The competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS) algorithm improved the prediction accuracy for partial least squares regression (PLSR) and support vector regression (SVR) models. The best predictions were 1st-Derivative-μ'-FI-PLSR (R = 0.897, RMSEP = 0.036 N, RPD = 2.262), SG-μ -MC-SVR (R = 0.886, RMSEP = 0.438 %, RPD = 2.157), and Raw-μ -SSC-SVR (R = 0.873, RMSEP = 0.137 %, RPD = 2.050). These results demonstrate the potential for predicting internal quality using potato's optical properties.

This paper explores the development of an opto-thermal-electrical model for plasmonic Schottky solar cells (PSSCs) using a comprehensive multiphysics approach. We simulated the optical properties, power conversion efficiencies, and energy yield of PSSCs with varying nanoparticle (NP) configurations and sizes. Our spectral analysis focused on the absorption characteristics of these solar cells, examining systems sized 3 × 3, 5 × 5, and 7 × 7, with NP radii ranging from 10 to 150 nm.

Accelerating the discovery of novel crystal materials by machine learning is crucial for advancing various technologies from clean energy to information processing. The machine-learning models for prediction of materials properties require embedding atomic information, while traditional methods have limited effectiveness in enhancing prediction accuracy. Here, we proposed an atomic embedding strategy called universal atomic embeddings (UAEs) for their broad applicability as atomic fingerprints, and generated the UAE tensors based on the proposed CrystalTransformer model.

The incorporation of thermal dynamics alongside conventional optoelectronic principles holds immense promise for advancing technology. Here, we introduce a GaON/GaN heterostructure-nanowire ultraviolet electrochemical cell of observing a photothermoelectric bipolar impulse characteristic. By leveraging the distinct thermoelectric properties of GaON/GaN, rapid generation of hot carriers establishes bidirectional instantaneous gradients in concentration and temperature within the nanoscale heterostructure via light on/off modulation.

We report the synthesis of [Ag(o-CBT)] abbreviated as Ag, a stable 8e⁻ anionic cluster with a unique Ag@Ag@Ag core-shell structure, where o-CBT is ortho-carborane-1-thiol. By substituting Ag atoms with Au and/or Cu at specific sites we created isostructural clusters [AuAg(o-CBT)] (AuAg), [AgCu(o-CBT)] (AgCu) and [AuAgCu(o-CBT)] (AuAgCu). These substitutions make systematic modulation of their structural and electronic properties.

In vivo optical imaging holds great potential for surgical guidance with the ability to intraoperatively identify tumor lesions in a surgical bed and navigate their surgical excision in real time. Nevertheless, its full potential remains underexploited, mainly due to the dearth of high-performance optical probes. Herein, hybrid cell membrane-biomimetic near-infrared II surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (NIR-II SERS) probes are reported for intraoperative resection guidance of orthotopic glioblastoma.
