In this contribution, we present novel results on top-down drilling in silicon, the most important semiconductor material, focusing specifically on the influence of the laser parameters. We compare the holes obtained with repetitive single pulses, as well as in different MHz- and GHz-burst regimes. The deepest holes were obtained in GHz-burst mode, where we achieved holes of almost 1 mm depth and 35 µm diameter, which corresponds to an aspect ratio of 27, which is higher than the ones reported so far in the literature, to the best of our knowledge. In addition, we study the influence of the energy repartition within the burst in GHz-burst mode.

Emissions due to tires retread/repair and incineration are a cause of concern owing to the presence of nanoparticles in the products. The assessment exposure to humans hereto related is a challenge in an environmental context. The first object of this work is to develop a method to characterize the emission sources using online (counting and sizing) and offline measurements.

Background: Accumulation of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow causes lytic bone lesions in 80% of multiple myeloma patients. Frequently fracturing, they are challenging to treat surgically. Myeloma cells surviving treatment in the presumably protective environment of bone lesions impede their healing by continued impact on bone turnover and can explain regular progression of patients without detectable minimal residual disease (MRD).

Article Synopsis
  • Experimental methods in single-molecule enzymology enable scientists to analyze the unique properties and function of individual enzyme molecules during their catalytic processes.
  • The study utilizes solid-state nanopores, specifically a 5 nm pore in a silicon nitride chip, to observe the performance of cytochrome P450 BM3, a model enzyme in monooxygenase systems.
  • By measuring ion current changes while the enzyme catalyzes laurate hydroxylation, the research showed that the BM3 enzyme is active for up to 1500 seconds, with potential applications in developing sensitive detectors for enzyme studies.

The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of accumulated dust and weather conditions on the energy generated by solar photovoltaic panels in Ouargla, Algeria, between May 3 and August 3, 2023. For this experiment, two monocrystalline panels with a power output of 390 W manufactured by Zergoune Green Energy Company, as well as data-logging equipment, were used. The first panel was perfectly cleaned before starting every test and the second panel remained uncleaned.

Hydraulic technology with smaller sizes and higher reliability trends, including fault prediction and intelligent control, requires high-performance temperature and pressure-integrated sensors. Current designs rely on planar wafer- or chip-level integration, which is limited by pressure range, chip size, and low reliability. We propose a small-size temperature/high-pressure integrated sensor via the flip-chip technique.
