In differential MEMS resonant sensors, a pair of resonators are interconnected with other structural components while sharing a common substrate. This leads to mutual coupling of vibration energy between resonators, interfering with their frequency outputs and affecting the sensor's static performance. This paper aims to model and analyze the vibration coupling phenomena in differential common-based MEMS resonators (DCMR). A mechanical model of the DCMR structure was established and refined through finite element simulation analysis. Theoretical calculations yielded vibration coupling curves for two typical silicon resonant accelerometer (SRA) structures containing DCMR: SRA-V1 and SRA-V2, with coupling stiffness values of 2.361 × 10 N/m and 1.370 × 10 N/m, respectively. An experimental test system was constructed to characterize the vibration coupling behavior. The results provided coupling amplitude-frequency characteristic curves and coupling stiffness values (7.073 × 10 N/m and 1.068 × 10 N/m for SRA-V1 and SRA-V2, respectively) that validated the theoretical analysis and computational model. This novel approach enables effective evaluation of coupling intensity between 5resonators and provides a theoretical foundation for optimizing device structural designs.

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a promising method for point-of-care nucleic acid testing due to its simplicity, rapidity, and high sensitivity. Coupling LAMP with solid-state nanopores enables label-free, single-molecule sensing, enhancing diagnostic accuracy. However, conventional LAMP-coupled nanopore protocols require high-salt buffers (>1 M) to improve signal strength and translocation frequency, complicating workflows and increasing contamination risks.

In this contribution, we present a computational study on the absorption and emission spectra of the anion in water, an analogue of the firefly oxyluciferin phenolate keto form. This compound displays a broad absorption spectrum and a large Stokes shift, two features that remain elusive to computational approaches, preventing a complete understanding of the photophysics behind this molecule. Here we attempt a fully first-principles computation of both absorption and emission spectral shapes and positions, explicitly including the effect of soft molecular flexible modes and of the stiff vibrational motions as well as those of the solvent.

Time domain two-dimensional infrared (2DIR) spectroscopy extends the capabilities of traditional infrared spectroscopy by revealing information on vibrational modes' anharmonicities, couplings, and energy transfer processes, making it a powerful tool for studying fast dynamic processes. Recent advancements in mid-IR laser technology and detection methods have significantly improved the resolution and acquisition rate of 2DIR spectroscopy. Despite these exciting developments, 2DIR spectroscopy remains limited by Abbe's diffraction limit, which restricts its spatial resolution.

Room temperature superconductivity has become the tireless pursuit of scientists due to its epoch-making significance. Inspired by the recently predicted high superconductivity in LiPH, we identify a new superconductor MgPH by substituting Li with Mg and prove its stability. The superconducting critical temperature ( ) and electron-phonon coupling (EPC) parameters () of MgPH under 280 GPa are predicted to be ∼166 K and ∼1.

Molecular and lattice vibrations are able to couple to the spin of electrons and lead to their relaxation and decoherence. Ab initio simulations have played a fundamental role in shaping our understanding of this process but further progress is hindered by their high computational cost. Here we present an accelerated computational framework based on machine-learning models for the prediction of molecular vibrations and spin-phonon coupling coefficients.
