High-spin impurities and surface acoustic waves in piezoelectric crystals for spin-lattice coupling by Magnusson, E

“…This spin system has already been identified as a high potential quantum technology component due to its long coherence time. We show that the system also has good properties for spin-lattice coupling experiments, with a strain-coupling parameter <em>G</em>₃₃ = 280 ± 5GHz/strain, which is about 16 times larger than the largest reported for NV centres in diamond. …”

Lead federated neuromorphic learning for wireless edge artificial intelligence by Yang, Helin, Lam, Kwok-Yan, Xiao, Liang, Xiong, Zehui, Hu, Hao, Niyato, Dusit, Poor, H. Vincent

“…Experimental results show that, under the situation of uneven dataset distribution among edge devices, LFNL achieves a comparable recognition accuracy to existing edge AI techniques, while substantially reducing data traffic by >3.5× and computational latency by >2.0×. Furthermore, LFNL significantly reduces energy consumption by >4.5× compared to standard federated learning with a slight accuracy loss up to 1.5%. …”

Janus particles with tunable patch symmetry and their assembly into chiral colloidal clusters by Zhang, Tianran, Lyu, Dengping, Xu, Wei, Feng, Xuan, Ni, Ran, Wang, Yufeng

“…Here, we report on the synthesis of Janus particles with patches of various tunable shapes, having reduced symmetries ranging from C2v to C3v and C4v. The Janus particles are synthesized by partial encapsulation of an octahedral metal-organic framework particle (UiO-66) in a polymer matrix. …”

Ultrafast electronic relaxation dynamics of atomically thin MoS₂ is accelerated by wrinkling by Xu, Ce, Zhou, Guoqing, Alexeev, Evgeny M., Cadore, Alisson R., Paradisanos, Ioannis, Ott, Anna K., Soavi, Giancarlo, Tongay, Sefaattin, Cerullo, Giulio, Ferrari, Andrea C., Prezhdo, Oleg V., Loh, Zhi-Heng

“…Our study suggests that the sub-picosecond electronic relaxation dynamics of TMDs is amenable to strain engineering and that applications which require long-lived hot carriers, such as hot-electron-driven light harvesting and photocatalysis, should employ wrinkle-free TMDs.…”

Investigation of fluorescence lifetime imaging for quantitative cervical cancer screening and diagnosis by Gu, Jun

“…The origin to the correlation between fluorescence lifetime changes and the associated cervical pathological states was investigated. Five proteins including BSA, poly-L-arginine, poly-L-histidine, poly-L-lysine and poly-L-tryptophan were used to simulate the proteins in cervical cytoplasm. …”

Interaction-mediating sequences within class I viral fusion glycoproteins : their roles in viral infection and in applications by Zhang, Simin

“…In Paper I, peptide array scanning identified 34 spike (S) protein-derived peptides that bound to the S protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV). These putative self-binding peptides contain five core octapeptide consensus sequences, among which the octapeptide GINITNFR was predicted to form β-zipper-mediated amyloid-like fibrils. …”

Posture control and balance for quality of walking in rehabilitation by Li, Lei

“…The research work covers three aspects: human posture and passive stabilizing device control, trajectory generation and human-intention recognition, and development of active balance stabilizer mechanism. A torque-driven, five segments (two thigh segments, two shank segments and one trunk segments) forward dynamics simulation model is first used to study the human posture and passive stabilizing device control. …”
