In light of the pressing environmental and health issues stemming from electromagnetic pollution, advanced electromagnetic wave absorbing materials are urgently sought to solve these problems. The present study delved into the fabrication of the resorcinol formaldehyde (RF)/SiO ceramic particles using the sol-gel route. From SEM images and XRD and XPS analysis, it can be seen that the RF/SiO ceramic particles are successfully generated after heat treatment at 1500 °C. At room temperature, the sample treated at 1500 °C exhibited a minimum reflection loss of -47.6 dB in the range of 2-18 GHz when the matching thickness was 5.5 mm, showcasing strong attenuation capabilities. Moreover, these particles demonstrated a considerable effective electromagnetic wave absorption bandwidth of 3.14 GHz, evidencing their potential for wideband electromagnetic wave absorption. The temperature adjustment played a pivotal role in achieving optimal impedance matching. When the heat treatment temperature is increased from 800 °C to 1500 °C, the dielectric properties of the material are improved, thus achieving the best impedance matching, thereby optimizing the material's absorption properties for specific frequency ranges, which makes it possible to customize the electromagnetic wave-absorbing characteristics to meet specific requirements across a range of applications.

Background: The retinal degenerative diseases retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and atrophic age- related macular degeneration (AMD) are characterized by vision loss from photoreceptor (PR) degeneration. Unfortunately, current treatments for these diseases are limited at best. Genetic and other preclinical evidence suggest a relationship between retinal degeneration and inflammation.

The photoautotrophic nature of cyanobacteria, coupled with their fast growth and relative ease of genetic manipulation, makes these microorganisms very promising factories for the sustainable production of bio-products from atmospheric carbon dioxide. However, both in nature and in cultivation, cyanobacteria go through different abiotic stresses such as high light (HL) stress, heavy metal stress, nutrient limitation, heat stress, salt stress, oxidative stress, and alcohol stress. In recent years, significant improvement has been made in identifying the stress-responsive genes and the linked pathways in cyanobacteria and developing genome editing tools for their manipulation.

To restore vision in the blind, advances in visual cortical prosthetics (VCPs) have offered high-channel-count electrical interfaces. Here, we design a 100-fiber optical bundle interface apposed to known feature-specific (color, shape, motion, and depth) functional columns that populate the visual cortex in humans, primates, and cats. Based on a non-viral optical stimulation method (INS, infrared neural stimulation; 1,875 nm), it can deliver dynamic patterns of stimulation, is non-penetrating and non-damaging to tissue, and is movable and removable.

Microwave absorption materials (MAMs) gradually exhibit crucial applications in reducing electromagnetic wave (EMW) pollution, avoiding EMW information leakage, and solving radar stealth. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-derived materials are flourishing in the domain of EMW absorption attributed to their especial structures, heteroatom doping and controllable components. Herein, various strategies to enhance the EMW absorption ability of MOFs-derived materials are outlined, covering structural design and compositional regulation.
