Abstract EUV lithography is advancing towards high productivity and yield, but the thickness of the interface diffusion layer and surface roughness in Mo/Si multilayer mirrors critically impact optical performance, presenting a major obstacle. This work presents a comprehensive study on controlling the ion beam sputtering deposition parameters to optimize the interface quality, roughness, and microstructure...
Abstract In this letter, we study the average block error rate (BLER) performance of short-packet communications (SPC) for pinching-antenna systems (PASS). A base station equipped with a pinching antenna serves an Internet of Things downlink user using SPC. Closed-form expressions for the average BLER of SPC for PASS networks are analytically derived under in-waveguide attenuation....
Abstract Deep learning has demonstrated remarkable success across domains such as image, audio, video, and text processing. However, its application to tabular data remains challenging due to the heterogeneous nature of features and the lack of positional information, which complicates feature interaction modeling. While deep learning approaches for tabular data have achieved performance levels comparable...
Abstract The sol–gel technique offers a versatile route for synthesizing electrode materials with reduced and uniform grain sizes, enabling the development of high-performance cathodes for next-generation sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Achieving high-performance layered oxide cathodes requires control over chemical homogeneity and phase composition. Herein, we investigate the feasibility of tuning the structural integrity, electrochemical behavior, and...
Abstract In the Internet of Things era, flexible photodetectors have received significant attention for applications in wearable electronics and human–machine interfaces. ZnO nanorods, known as a large bandgap semiconductor, is a promising candidate for flexible photodetectors; however, it still has some limitations for practical use, especially low response and humidity interference. Thus, to overcome these...
Abstract Many molecular systems, such as intrinsically disordered proteins and flexible multi-domain complexes, are highly dynamic and often inaccessible to conventional X-ray crystallography or cryo-EM due to their conformational heterogeneity and flexibility. As a result, resolving their atomic-level dynamics remains a significant challenge. In this study, we present SimHS-AFMfit-MD, an integrative framework that combines high-speed...
Abstract The rapid development of the textile industry has led to the discharge of large amounts of dyes into aquatic environments, such as rivers and lakes. Long-term exposure to these substances causes many adverse health effects. Therefore, compact, highly sensitive sensors that enable rapid, on-site assessment of water quality have received significant attention. High-performance SERS...
Abstract Introduction: Shared neoantigens derived from recurrent mutations represent promising targets for off-the-shelf (OTS) cancer immunotherapies; however, their clinical utility is often constrained by population-specific HLA diversity and variable immunogenicity. There remains a need for population-tailored neoantigen panels with broad HLA coverage and functional validation. Methods: We developed a colorectal cancer (CRC)–specific OTS neoantigen panel...
Abstract Shrimp farming wastewater is a high-salinity and nutrient-rich effluent that contributes to eutrophication, disrupts aquatic ecosystems, and degrades natural habitats. In this study, a microalgae-based membrane bioreactor (A-MBR) integrating Chlorella sorokiniana with activated sludge was developed and evaluated for nutrient removal from synthetic shrimp farming wastewater under saline conditions. The performance of the A-MBR was systematically...
Abstract Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has been widely used as a material for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) due to its visible-light activity, low cost, and non-toxicity. However, a rapid recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, poor electrical conductivity, and a low specific surface area of g-C3N4 have hindered its practical performance. Melem/g-C3N4 (abbreviate: MCN) is a newer structure...
