Magnetized fusion has been used in various inertial confinement fusion concepts to relax ignition requirements. Strong magnetic fields would induce burning asymmetry, which may be usually harmful to the central ignition schemes. However, it could be utilized in some intrinsically asymmetric ignition schemes, such as the traditional fast ignition (FI) scheme and the double-cone ignition (DCI) scheme, in which the hot spots are located at the edge of the compressed fuel.

Inspired by nutrient diffusion mechanism in plant, we introduce the concept of self-reinforced CO concentration gradient, which is realized via porous carbon nanosheets (PC) as soil for enriching CO and single-atomic Ni-doped carbon nanotubes (Ni-CNTs) as rhizome for electro-catalyzing CO. A combined experimental and simulation study reveals optimal length of Ni-CNTs on PC reduces the GBL thickness and spontaneously enhances CO concentration gradient, synergistically breaking the limitation of CO transport.

Current coded aperture spectral imaging techniques suffer from slow imaging speeds and poor image quality at low sampling rates. To address these issues, we propose a self-supervised constrained super-resolution fast coded spectral imaging system by combining a physical process of spectral imaging with image fusion super-resolution techniques. We constructed a discrete cosine transform spectrometer (DCTS) and successfully acquired low-resolution hyperspectral images (LR-HSI) and high-resolution multispectral images (HR-MSI).

The method maps the snapshot compressed measurements to a panchromatic (PAN) image as an auxiliary learning task for reconstructing hyperspectral images. The PAN images reconstructed by the network are extracted to provide spatial detail information, which is then fed into the CASSI reconstruction network to enhance its regularization capability.

Relict species are often confined to relatively narrow, discontinuous geographic ranges and provide excellent opportunities to study local adaptation and extinction. Understanding the adaptive genetic variation and genetic vulnerability of relict species under climate change is essential for their conservation and management efforts.

Unlike traditional approaches that separately employ channel and spatial attention, our proposed mechanism integrates these modalities through cross-convolution, thereby enabling cross-group feature interaction and dynamic spatial weight allocation. This novel integration not only improves the continuity of elongated lane features but also enhances the model's ability to capture long-range dependencies in challenging scenarios.

In this study, we aim to enhance the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of AlGaN-based ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) by using the short-period AlGaN/GaN superlattice as a tunnel junction (TJ) to construct polarized structures. We analyze in detail the effect of this polarized TJ on the carrier injection efficiency and investigate the increase in hole and electron density caused by the formation of 2D hole gas (2DHG) and 2D electron gas (2DEG) in the superlattice structure. In addition, a dielectric layer is introduced to evaluate the effect of stress changes on the tunneling probability and current spread in TJ.

Different from traditional image-plane encoding spectral imaging method, this paper proposes an object-plane encoding hyperspectral three-dimensional collaborative imaging method, which is based on the idea of spectral displacement invariance and multiplexing encoding and decoding. The 4D data of the scene is scanned by coded apertures generated by the projector, and then the encoded data of the scene is obtained. During the reconstruction process, there is no need for phase unwrapping operation or data fusion.
