Synchronous morphophysiological reaction of intramural bushy receptors to an extreme mechanical stimulation produced by an increased pressure and hence, by an overdilatation of the urinary bladder wall has been studied in Rana temporaria. It has been demonstrated that the extreme mechanical factor inhibits the receptor spike activity. It is proved by: a decreased affinity of the receptors to vital methylene blue staining; changes in the form of the receptor patches; decreasing mobility of granules in the patches; increase in staining time. It is evident that energy exhaustion of the receptor as a result of overexcitement is responsible for these shifts. In the previous experiments an adequate (weaker) dilatation of the urinary bladder wall did not inhibit the receptor spike activity and morphological changes had different dynamics. The results of the two experiments are compared.

The integration of a photodetector that converts optical signals into electrical signals is essential for scalable integrated lithium niobate photonics. Two-dimensional materials provide a potential high-efficiency on-chip detection capability. Here, we demonstrate an efficient on-chip photodetector based on a few layers of MoTe on a thin film lithium niobate waveguide and integrate it with a microresonator operating in an optical telecommunication band.

Conductive eutectogels have emerged as candidates for constructing functional flexible electronics as they are free from the constraints posed by inherent defects associated with solvents and feeble network structures. Nevertheless, developing a facile, environmentally friendly, and rapid polymerization strategy for the construction of conductive eutectogels with integrated multifunctionality is still immensely challenging. Herein, a conductive eutectogel is fabricated through a one-step dialdehyde xylan (DAX)/liquid metal (LM)-initiated polymerization of a deep eutectic solvent.

The unprimed right ventricle is exquisitely sensitive to acute elevations in afterload. High pulmonary vascular tone incurred with acute pulmonary embolism has the potential to induce obstructive shock and circulatory collapse. While emergent pulmonary reperfusion is essential in severe circumstances, an important subset of pulmonary embolism patients may exhibit a less extreme presentation posing a management dilemma.

Metal fatigue, characterized by the accumulation of dislocation defects, is a prevalent failure mode in structural materials. Nondestructive early-stage detection of metal fatigue is extremely important to prevent disastrous events and protect human life. However, the lack of a precise quantitative method to visualize fatigue with spatiotemporal resolution poses a significant obstacle to timely detection.

ConspectusThe emergence of two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as graphene, transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), has sparked significant interest due to their unique physicochemical, optical, electrical, and mechanical properties. Furthermore, their atomically thin nature enables mechanical flexibility, high sensitivity, and simple integration onto flexible substrates, such as paper and plastic.The surface chemistry of a nanomaterial determines many of its properties, such as its chemical and catalytic activity.
