Article Abstract
In order to explore availability of carbon nanotube (CNT)-based positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistors in practical application, we prepared carbon nanotube (CNT) filled high density polyethylene (HDPE) composites by using conventional melt-mixing methods, and investigated their PTC effects in details. The CNT-based thermistors exhibit much larger hold current and higher hold voltage, increasing by 129% in comparison with the commercial carbon black (CB) filled HDPE thermistors. Such high current-bearing and voltage-bearing capacity for the CNT/HDPE thermistors is mainly attributed to high thermal conductivity and heat dissipation of entangled CNT networks. Moreover, the CNT/HDPE thermistors exhibit rapid electrical response to applied voltages, comparable to commercial CB-based thermistors. In light of their high current-bearing capacity and quick response, the CNT-based thermistors have great potential to be used as high-performance thermistors in practical application, especially in some critical circumstances of high temperature, large applied currents, and high applied voltages.

Owing to its wide bandgap, LaAlO has garnered extensive attention in the field of high-temperature negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors. However, its poor thermal stability and excessively high B value limit the working temperature range. In this work, introducing O 2p and Ni 3d hybrid energy levels into the bandgap is proposed via Ni doping and inducing stacking faults in the crystal structure to narrow the bandgap and enhance aging performance.

Background: The implantation of a Swan-Ganz catheter for invasive hemodynamic monitoring is an established measure after cardiac surgery. A rare but serious complication is the formation of a knot in the heart, which can be diagnostically challenging. We report on a patient who developed left heart failure postoperatively after quadruple bypass surgery combined with aortic valve replacement and in whom a knot formed inadvertently during monitoring using a Swan-Ganz catheter.

This paper presents a physics-informed digital twin designed for real-time thermal monitoring and visualization of a metallic plate. The system comprises a physical layer consisting of an aluminum plate equipped with thermistors to capture boundary conditions, a computational layer that implements the steady-state Laplace equation using the finite difference method, and an embedded execution framework deployed on a microcontroller that utilizes Direct Memory Access-driven ADC for efficient concurrent acquisition. The computed thermal field is transmitted through a serial interface and displayed in real time using a Python-based visualization interface.

The quantum random number generator (QRNG) operates based on fundamental quantum mechanical principles to produce high-quality random numbers. Recently, chip-based QRNGs have garnered significant attention due to their compact size, low cost, and reduced power consumption. In this work, we demonstrate a hybrid integrated QRNG leveraging continuous-wave (CW) laser phase fluctuations.
