sp. is a type of green algae and is widely distributed in coastal areas around the world due to eutrophication. Effective utilization of sp. is expected for the establishment of carbon-neutral biochemical production. Microwave-assisted hydrothermal extraction is one of the most efficient ways of extracting highly functional polysaccharides called ulvan. Here, we demonstrate the importance of microwave frequency in enhancing ulvan extraction from . We found that microwaves (2.45 GHz) selectively heat water solvent, while radio frequency (200 MHz) selectively heats ionic ulvan. Moreover, 2.45 GHz was more effective for extracting ulvan than 200 MHz. Then, we analyzed the conformational change in ulvan during microwave irradiation using in situ small-angle X-ray scattering. Microwaves initiated the loosening of ulvan bundles at temperatures lower than those of conventional heating. As a result, microwaves at 2.45 GHz selectively heat water and initiate ulvan structural change to enhance the extraction of ulvan from .

Design of a microwave spectrometer for high-precision Lamb shift spectroscopy of antihydrogen atoms.

We have developed a microwave spectrometer for a measurement of the Lamb shift of antihydrogen atoms towards the determination of the antiproton charge radius. The spectrometer consists of two consecutive apparatuses, of which the first apparatus, (HFS), filters out hyperfine states and pre-selects the state, and the second apparatus, (MWS), sweeps the frequency around the target transition to obtain the spectrum. We optimized the geometry of the apparatuses by evaluating the S-parameter that represents the ratio of the reflected microwave signal over the input, utilizing microwave simulations based on the finite element method.

Article Synopsis
- - The study introduces a circularly-polarized planar monopole antenna designed for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications, utilizing characteristic mode analysis (CMA) to achieve broader bandwidths.
- - A crescent-shaped radiator and circular open-loop antenna initially had limited performance in achieving wideband characteristics; modifications like a triangular slit and L-shaped strip were added to improve the axial ratio bandwidth substantially.
- - The final design boasts a compact size and impressive performance metrics, including a -10 dB S bandwidth of 5.73-10.78 GHz, a 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth of 6-11.12 GHz, and effective gain and efficiency, demonstrating strong omnidirectional radiation patterns across frequencies. *

Broadband electromagnetic (EM) wave absorption materials play an important role in military stealth and health protection. Herein, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-derived magnetic-carbon CoNiM@C (M = Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn) microspheres are fabricated, which exhibit flower-like nano-microstructure with tunable EM response capacity. Based on the MOFs-derived CoNi@C microsphere, the adjacent third element is introduced into magnetic CoNi alloy to enhance EM wave absorption performance.
