Published: November 2023

AbstractIt is impossible to imagine modern electronic circuitry without a p–n junction—an essential building block for transistors, rectifiers, amplifiers, photovoltaics, etc. Conventional fabrication processes (ion implantation or chemical diffusion) result in an immutable potential configuration depriving reconfigurability. In contrast, the superior electrostatic tunability, dangling bonds‐ and reconstruction‐free interfaces are some of the key features of 2D based heterostructures, making them promising candidates for cutting‐edge optoelectronic and memory applications. Herein, the intercoupled 2D ferroelectricity of 𝛼‐In2Se3 is utilized to introduce micron‐scale, non‐volatile electrostatic doping in ambipolar WSe2, enabling reconfigurable p–n junction. The actuation mechanism is based on the strong polarization field along the edge topology of In2Se3. The fabricated device presents stable p–n to n–p switching, a superior rectification ratio of ≈106, and a low leakage current of ≈10−12 A. Furthermore, the switchable short‐circuit current response is utilized to demonstrate a novel self‐powered, non‐volatile memory based on photovoltaic reading. The ferroelectric non‐volatility coupled with the ability to control the device operation using optical and electrical signals paves the way for ultrathin energy‐efficient, multi‐level optoelectronic and in‐memory logic devices.

AbstractAs a promising family of semiconductor materials for high‐quality displays, quasi‐2D perovskites have gained a significant amount of attention in the field of light‐emitting diodes for their superior optoelectronic properties compared with their 3D counterparts. The intrinsic multiple‐quantum‐well characteristics induced by reducing the crystal dimensionality enable perovskite emitters to possess high photoluminescence quantum yield and good film morphology. It is demonstrated that the n‐value distribution of quasi‐2D perovskites, where n refers to the number of inorganic MX6 octahedron layers, has a strong impact on the electroluminescence efficiency and stability of perovskite light‐emitting diodes (PeLEDs). In this review, the crystal structure of quasi‐2D perovskites, the formation origin of different n‐value distributions, and their optoelectronic characteristics are first introduced. Then, the mainstream strategies for regulating the phase distribution of layered perovskites are systematically reviewed to suggest their great significance in boosting the performances of PeLEDs. Lastly, the current deficiencies and potentially valuable research directions of phase distribution management for efficient and stable quasi‐2D PeLEDs are provided.

AbstractThe sixth generation (6G) wireless network is envisioned to provide faster and more reliable communication by utilizing electromagnetic waves in the terahertz spectrum. However, terahertz waves suffer from high propagation loss and, hence, wavefront manipulation solutions to focus and redirect terahertz waves are of paramount importance. Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) is one such promising dynamic wavefront engineering solution proposed for 6G networks, but the technological realization of 6G (>100 GHz) RIS is still largely lacking. Here, spatially‐selective vanadium dioxide (VO2) patches incorporating coding metasurfaces for dynamic beam steering of terahertz waves are presented. The reversible and abrupt insulator‐to‐metal phase transition property of VO2 is exploited to achieve a reconfigurable transmission angle for the normal incident terahertz wave. By designing metasurfaces with specific linear phase gradients and designer phase sequencing, electrically switchable beam steering is achieved from co‐polarized 0° (normal transmission) in the OFF state to cross‐polarized 0° (control), 11°, 23°, 36°, and 52° in the ON state at 0.6 THz. Scaling up the proposed concept to achieve individual control of each active element (VO2) within the metasurface will enable a complete 6G RIS solution for full 3D terahertz beam manipulation to support the future THz wireless communication networks.

AbstractAlthough land application of biosolids is an attractive option for beneficial reuse, it represents a complex challenge for government and private organizations. This 3‐year field study evaluated the agronomic impacts of reduced biosolids rates imposed by new regulations in Florida on bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Flugge) herbage accumulation and nutritive value. Treatments consisted of a factorial combination of two phosphorus (P) sources (triple superphosphate and biosolids) applied at 0 (control), 20 (low), 40 (intermediate), and 60 kg total P ha−1 (high). Triple superphosphate plots received the same nitrogen (N) load (from ammonium nitrate) as the corresponding biosolids treatments. Bahiagrass herbage accumulation increased with increasing P and associated N rates. Bahiagrass annual herbage accumulation ranged from 2120 kg ha−1 in 2022 to 6970 kg ha−1 in 2020 and was 33%–80% less than previously published data. This was likely due to the reduced biosolids rates that did not supply sufficient N and P to sustain adequate forage production. Lesser herbage accumulation will likely lead to greater application of inorganic fertilizers, which generally have greater environmental footprint than biosolids. Biosolids generally resulted in either similar or greater bahiagrass crude protein, in vitro digestible organic matter, and tissue mineral concentrations than inorganic fertilizer. Similarly, no differences in bahiagrass N and P recovery between biosolids and inorganic fertilizer were observed. This study, along with a significant body of literature, demonstrated that biosolids have considerable fertilizer value and can be an effective alternative to commercial inorganic fertilizer while also providing environmental and economic benefits.
Clinical characteristics and management of primary retroperitoneal sarcoma: A literature review
Authors: Yamagata Yukinori , Komiyama Motokiyo , Iwata Shintaro 
Published: November 2023

AbstractRetroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS) is a rare tumor classified into many histological types. It is also often detected only after it has grown to a considerable size and requires extensive resection of the surrounding organs, making it difficult to offer optimal patient‐tailored management. Evidence supporting specific treatment modalities for RPS is insufficient, owing to its rarity. The Japanese clinical practice guidelines for RPS were published in December 2021, with the aim of accumulating existing evidence and indicating the optimal practice for RPS. These guidelines provide important clinical questions (CQs) concerning the diagnosis and treatment of RPS. This review, with a particular focus on primary RPS, attempts to introduce clinical problems in the diagnosis and treatment of RPS and to assess those problems along with the CQs in the guidelines. According to these guidelines, although chemotherapy and radiotherapy are expected to have therapeutic effects, the level of evidence to support these treatments is not very high at present. Accordingly, complete resection of the tumor is the first and only option for managing primary RPS. However, as with other tumors, the demand for multidisciplinary treatment for RPS is increasing. These guidelines will undoubtedly represent a milestone in clinical practice in relation to RPS in the future, and further evidence is expected to be accumulated based on the CQs that have been proposed.

AbstractThe recent development of the Red Colobus Conservation Action Plan has spurred momentum to promote site‐based conservation of red colobus while forging partnerships among researchers and building local capacity. Communities for Red Colobus (C4RC) is a community‐centered conservation organization in The Gambia, West Africa, that aims to protect Temminck's red colobus (Piliocolobus badius temminckii) while advancing opportunities for local people. We highlight the inception and initial development of C4RC with its educational and ranger teams and describe how local and international collaborations have positively impacted the organization through training and mentoring programs. This conservation program has the potential to become sustainable with plans for continued ecological monitoring, reforestation efforts, use of alternative methods of cooking, and the expansion of ecotourism. We hope that the dissemination of project information through Gambian broadcast and social media channels and wider community outreach activities will improve perceptions and conservation of primates and inspire the development of other red colobus initiatives at suitable forest sites based on the C4RC model of community‐based conservation.

Published: November 2023

AbstractThe formation and evolution of electron wave packets in the process of strong‐field ionization is one of the major research topics in attosecond science. The recently developed technique of nonlinear photoconductive sampling (NPS) requires a detailed understanding of these dynamics and provides a new approach to studying them. This work is motivated by the lack of a solid theoretical foundation for NPS measurements. The analysis shows that, for NPS in atomic gases, the strong‐field approximation provides an adequate description of the ionization dynamics but makes a significant error in predicting the spectral response function because the Coulomb interaction between photoelectrons and their parent ions significantly affects the motion of the electron wave packets.

AbstractAlthough long‐lived triplet charge‐transfer (3CT) state with high energy level has gained significant attention, the development of organic small molecules capable of achieving such states remains a major challenge. Herein, by using the through‐space electronic coupling effect, we have developed a compound, namely NIC‐DMAC, which has a long‐lived 3CT state at the single‐molecule level with a lifetime of 210 ms and a high energy level of up to 2.50 eV. Through a combination of experimental and computational approaches, we have elucidated the photophysical processes of NIC‐DMAC, which involve sequential transitions from the first singlet excited state (S1) that shows a 1CT character to the first triplet excited state (T1) that exhibits a local excited state feature (3LE), and then to the second triplet excited state (T2) that shows a 3CT character (i.e., S1 (1CT)→T1 (3LE)→T2 (3CT)). The long lifetime and high energy level of its 3CT state have enabled NIC‐DMAC as an initiator for photocuring in double patterning applications.

Published: November 2023

AbstractStructural dimensionality and electronic dimensionality play a crucial role in determining the type of excitonic emission in hybrid metal halides (HMHs). It is important but challenging to achieve free exciton (FE) emission in zero‐dimensional (0D) HMHs based on the control over the electronic dimensionality. In this work, a quasi‐0D HMH (C7H15N2Br)2PbBr4 with localized electronic dimensionality is prepared as a prototype model. With increasing pressure onto (C7H15N2Br)2PbBr4, the broad and weak self‐trapped exciton (STE) emission at ambient conditions is considerably enhanced before 3.6 GPa, which originates from more distorted [PbBr4]2− seesaw units upon compression. Notably, a narrow FE emission in (C7H15N2Br)2PbBr4 appears at 3.6 GPa, and then this FE emission is gradually strengthened up to 8.4 GPa. High pressure structural characterizations reveal that anisotropic contraction of (C7H15N2Br)2PbBr4 results in a noticeable reduction in the distance between adjacent [PbBr4]2− seesaw units, as well as an obvious enhancement of crystal stiffness. Consequently, the electronic connectivity in (C7H15N2Br)2PbBr4 is sufficiently promoted above 3.6 GPa, which is also supported with theoretical calculations. The elevation of electronic connectivity and enhanced stiffness together lead to pressure‐induced FE emission and subsequent emission enhancement in quasi‐0D (C7H15N2Br)2PbBr4.
Effect of crystallinity on unimodal and bimodal cell structures, in a continuous production of HDPE microcellular foamed sheets using supercritical CO2 (ScCO2)
Authors: Ghasemzadeh Alireza , Famili Navid 
Published: November 2023

AbstractCrystallinity is a controlling parameter in the development of microcellular foam final structure. In this research, using a well‐controlled continuous microcellular foamed sheet production system, the effect of crystallinity on the final structure of the microcellular foam is studied. To produce microcellular foamed sheets, different levels of the supercritical carbon dioxide (ScCO2) is dissolved in the polymer at high pressure and the foamed material is stabilized using a four roll apparatus at different roll temperatures. Crystallization occur by delay, however this lag time can be controlled by controlling temperature gradient. The higher decrease in the roll temperature results in higher temperature gradient which increases the crystallization rate during the cell growth, causing bimodal cell structures which indicates secondary nucleation. Moreover, as the amount of gas increases, the cell formation time increases, hence, at even higher temperatures we observed the effect of secondary nucleation, resulting in the occurrence of bimodal cell structures.

AbstractThe pulley structure has been widely employed to improve mechanical properties. Polyrotaxane‐based waterborne polyurethane (WPU) typically exhibits good tensile strength and Young's modulus. However, achieving outstanding self‐healability of polyrotaxane‐based WPU under mild conditions generally proves insufficient solely relying on host‐guest interactions. Herein, a strategy that constructs a triple synergy of host‐guest interaction, hydrogen bonds, and metal coordination bonds by sequentially introducing tannic acid (TA) and Fe3+ is proposed to prepare polyrotaxane‐based WPU with excellent mechanical performance and high self‐healable capability. Besides the reversible non‐covalent bonding contributing to intrinsic self‐healing, the unique sliding motion of WPU's molecule chain acts as a driving force, promoting efficient contact among reversible bonds. Notably, benefiting from the sliding motion of β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD) along a chain, the dynamic reconstruction of hydrogen bonds and metal coordination bonds, the resulting supramolecular WPU exhibited a tensile strength of 46.05 MPa and a toughness of 130.30 MPa, with satisfactory self‐healing performance (tensile strength healing efficiency of more than 95%). This work enriches the self‐healing mechanism and expands the concepts for the design of resilient self‐healing environmentally friendly supramolecular WPU.

Published: November 2023

Key Clinical MessageThis report describes a rare case of developing Guillain–Barre syndrome (GBS) following receiving rabbit antithymocyte globulin (ATG) after kidney transplantation to prevent acute allograft rejection in a 34‐year‐old man. The patient presented severe pain in the right temporomandibular joint, fever, chills, myalgia, polyarthralgia, and bone pain. Twelve hours later, he developed quadriplegia, paresthesia, and a limited range of active motions in all extremities. No antecedent viral or bacterial infection was identified. The EMG/NCV evaluation displayed acute inflammatory sensory‐motor polyneuropathy. After the administration of GBS treatment, the neurologic symptoms started to improve. Over a few days, the reflexes came back completely, and the patient was able to walk. To our knowledge, this is the second case report of ATG‐related GBS after kidney transplantation.

Authors: Xue Yuanfeng , Yao Bangtao 
Published: November 2023

Key Clinical MessageThis case contributes to the new knowledge of unilateral pericentral RP. Multimodal imaging provides valuable information to better understand the disease. The development is significantly slow and defines a better clinical course than typical RP. Pericentral RP presents with unremarkable night blindness, which can be easily misdiagnosed by ophthalmologists.AbstractUnilateral pericentral retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a rare, atypical, mild form of RP that affects the pericentral retina close to the vascular arcades and tends to spare the far‐peripheral retina in one eye, while the fellow eye remains completely unaffected. A 71‐year‐old Chinese woman presented with blurred vision in her right eye for several decades, however, her left eye was unaffected. Fundus photography revealed bone‐spicule pigmentation located at the pericentral retina of her right eye. Spectral‐domain optical coherence tomography revealed significant atrophy of the outer retina and retinal pigment epithelium, and an evident absence of the ellipsoid zone in the right eye. The visual field showed a wide‐range paracentral scotoma in the right eye. The full‐field electroretinogram demonstrated subnormal amplitudes of dark and light adaption in the right eye. No significant changes were observed during a further 5‐year follow‐up. Multimodal imaging provides valuable information to better understand unilateral pericentral RP. The development of unilateral pericentral RP is significantly slow and defines a better clinical course than the typical RP. Pericentral RP presents with slight visual reduction and unremarkable night blindness, which can be easily misdiagnosis by ophthalmologists. Reasonable prevention measures, screening methods, and timely diagnosis are beneficial for RP patients.

AbstractPd‐based nanostructures are endowed with impressive catalytic features for alcohol‐based fuel cells, however, their poisoning by carbon monoxide (CO) is a great barrier to large‐scale utilization of such fuel cells as alternative power sources. The need to optimize the electrochemical CO oxidation (COOxid) of Pd‐based nanostructures in various electrolytes has attracted much attention in the last decade, so it is important to provide a timely update on this area of research. This mini‐review highlights the most recent advances in controlling some synthesis methods of Pd‐based nanostructures and their morphologies for enhanced electrocatalytic COOxid in different electrolyte conditions in the last three years. Finally, the main challenges for commercially viable Pd‐based nanostructures for electrochemical COOxid are discussed, highlighting the future perspectives and providing promising solutions for practical COOxid application.

AbstractThe hexacyano[3]radialene radical anion (1) is an attractive catholyte material for use in redox flow battery (RFB) applications. The substitution of cyano groups with ester moieties enhances solubility while maintaining redox reversibility and favorable redox potentials. Here we show that these ester‐functionalized, hexasubstituted [3]radialene radical anions dimerize reversibly in water. The dimerization mode is dependent on the substitution pattern and can be switched in solution. Stimuli‐responsive behavior is achieved by exploiting an unprecedented tristate switching mechanism, wherein the radical can be toggled between the free radical, a π‐dimer, and a σ‐dimer‐each with dramatically different optical, magnetic, and redox properties‐by changing the solvent environment, temperature, or salinity. The symmetric, triester‐tricyano[3]radialene (3) forms a solvent‐responsive, σ‐dimer in water that converts to the radical anion with the addition of organic solvents or to a π‐dimer in brine solutions. Diester‐tetracyano[3]radialene (2) exists primarily as a π‐dimer in aqueous solutions and a radical anion in organic solvents. The dimerization behavior of both 2 and 3 is temperature dependent in methanol solutions. Dimerization equilibrium has a direct impact on catholyte stability during galvanostatic charge–discharge cycling in static H‐cells. Specifically, conditions that favor the free radical anion or π‐dimer exhibit significantly enhanced cycling profiles.
