The decommissioning of uranium mill tailings pond generally employs covering layer to diminish radon exhalation, with soil permeability, thickness, and moisture content being essential considerations in assessing the efficacy of radon reduction. This research uses a proprietary multi-field coupled seepage testing apparatus and a simulated covering layer radon exhalation device to evaluate samples' permeability and radon control effectiveness across different covering layer thicknesses, pressure gradients, and moisture content levels. The findings demonstrate that gas permeability diminishes with increasing covering layer thickness, exhibiting a more pronounced decline at pressures below 0.35 MPa. Moreover, both moisture content and covering layer thickness significantly influence the radon exhalation rate, which decreases nonlinearly with the rise of both variables. A positive link exists between the radon exhalation rate and permeability, aligning with a natural exponential function model.

This paper presents an 8 × 8-element slot antenna array optimized for 30 GHz band applications, achieving high gain, wide impedance bandwidth, and high efficiency. The array employs a pin/hole-based design, which enables a compact structure and reduces fabrication complexity and cost, as it eliminates the need for electrical contact between its three primary layers: the metal radiating slot plate, a sub-array cavity layer, and a ridge waveguide feed network layer. The corporate feed network is realized through an array of pins and guiding ridges integrated into a metal plate, effectively distributing power to the radiating elements.

Agrivoltaics, integrating photovoltaic systems with crop cultivation, demands semitransparent solar modules to mitigate soil shadowing. Perovskite Solar Cells (PSC) offer competitive efficiency, low fabrication costs, and high solar transmittance, making them suitable for agrivoltaic applications. However, the impact of PSC light filtering on plant growth and transcriptomics remains underexplored.

For severe local vasculopathy, covered stents are considered the major medical devices in interventional therapy due to their function to isolate lesions and deliver drugs. However, commercial stent-coverings have unsatisfactory drug-loading capacity and lack bioactivity. Silk fibroin (SF) possesses excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, and endothelialization ability.

As a commonly used method for near-surface surveys, there is a demand for lightweight, fast, and accurate 3D DC geoelectric resistivity modeling that can be execute on portable computers. This study employed a singularity removal technique, solving the primary potential equation analytically and the secondary potential equation numerically using the finite element method. The modeling domain was discretized using orthosceme elements derived from dividing a hexahedron into six elements.

Heterostructures have promising applications in photonics and optoelectronics, mainly due to their high electron mobility and broadband photoresponse covering visible, infrared, and terahertz (THz) ranges. However, it is challenging to detect heterostructures in high definition with conventional THz techniques. Here we demonstrate a THz nanoscopic imaging method which is capable of resolving the local THz response of PbS-graphene heterostructures based upon a sophisticated THz near-field optical microscope.
