Polymer-metal complexes (PMCs) based on poly(2,2'-bipyridine-4,4'-dicarboxamide-co-polydimethylsiloxanes) with cyclometalated di(2-phenylpyridinato-C,N')iridium(III) fragments and cross-linked by Zn (Zn[Ir]-BipyPDMSs) or Ir (Ir[Ir]-BipyPDMSs) represent flexible, stretchable, phosphorescent, and self-healing molecular oxygen sensors. PMCs provide strong phosphorescence at λ = 595-605 nm. Zn[Ir]-BipyPDMS with PDMS chain length of M = 5000 has the highest quantum yield of 9.3% and is a molecular oxygen sensor at different O concentrations (0-100 vol%) compared to Ir[Ir]-BipyPDMSs. A Stern-Volmer constant is determined for Zn[Ir]-BipyPDMS as K = 0.014%, which is similar to the reported oxygen-sensitive iridium(III) complexes. All synthesized PMCs exhibit high elongation at break (up to 1100%) and self-healing efficiency (up to 99%).

Radical covalent organic frameworks (RCOFs) have demonstrated significant potential in redox catalysis and energy conversion applications. However, the synthesis of stable RCOFs with well-defined neutral carbon radical centers is challenging due to the inherent radical instability, limited synthetic methods and characterization difficulties. Building upon the understanding of stable carbon radicals and structural modulations for preparing crystalline COFs, herein we report the synthesis of a crystalline carbon-centered RCOF through a facile post-oxidation process.

Introduction: As wearable technology becomes increasingly popular and sophisticated, independent validation is needed to determine its accuracy and potential applications. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy (validity) of VO2max estimates and blood oxygen saturation measured via pulse oximetry using the Garmin fēnix 6 with a general population participant pool.
Methods: We recruited apparently healthy individuals (both active and sedentary) for VO2max (n = 19) and pulse oximetry testing (n = 22).
Temperature Dependence on Microstructure, Crystallization Orientation, and Piezoelectric Properties of ZnO Films.

This study has investigated the effects of different annealing temperatures on the microstructure, chemical composition, phase structure, and piezoelectric properties of ZnO films. The analysis focuses on how annealing temperature influences the oxygen content and the preferred c-axis (002) orientation of the films. It was found that annealing significantly increases the grain size and optimizes the columnar crystal structure, though excessive high-temperature annealing leads to structural degradation.

Multispectral imaging (MSI) enables non-invasive tissue differentiation based on spectral characteristics and has shown great potential as a tool for surgical guidance. However, adapting MSI to open surgeries is challenging. Systems that rely on light sources present in the operating room experience limitations due to frequent lighting changes, which distort the spectral data and require countermeasures such as disruptive recalibrations.
