It is becoming increasingly important to develop innovative self-powered, low-cost, and flexible sensors with the potential for structural health monitoring (SHM) applications. The mechanoluminescence (ML)-perovskite sensor is a potential candidate that combines the light-emitting principles of mechanoluminescence with the light-absorbing properties of perovskite materials. Continuous in-situ SHM with embedded sensors necessitates long-term stability. A highly stable cesium lead bromide photodetector with a carbon-based electrode and a zinc sulfide (ZnS): copper (Cu) ML layer was described in this article. The addition of a magnesium iodide (MgI) interfacial modifier layer between the electron transport layer (ETL) and the Perovskite interface improved the sensor's performance. Devices with the modified structure outperformed devices without the addition of MgI in terms of response time and impact-sensing applications.

Nucleic acid aptamers are artificial recognition elements with great potential in biotechnology. For their effective integration into nanodevices, rational strategies for optimizing aptamer affinity and regulating activity are essential. Artificial nucleotide analogs offer versatile tools for both fundamental and applied research in the aptamer field.

Background: Effective modification of heavily calcified coronary lesions is critical for successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL), cutting balloons (CBs), and ultra-high-pressure balloons (UHBs) are used commonly, yet data comparing their effectiveness and safety for calcified lesion modification remain unavailable.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of IVL, a CB, and a UHB on calcified coronary lesions in human cadaveric arteries, focusing on calcium fracture formation and vascular injury.

This review describes new strategies in the use of multifunctional organic alkalizers (OA) for the fabrication of advanced functional materials. OA facilitate solubilization and delivery of poorly solubilized drugs through the formation of drug-OA complexes and supramolecular gels. OA are applied for the synthesis of materials for biomedical, energy storage, catalytic, photovoltaic, sensor, and electronic applications.

Spinel lithium manganate (LiMnO) is considered a highly promising cobalt-free cathode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) owing to its three-dimensional Li-ion diffusion channels and the abundance of manganese. However, its practical applications are limited due to the substantial capacity deterioration induced by the Jahn-Teller effect and interfacial instability with the organic electrolyte. In this work, we propose a polyanion-based surface engineering strategy that enables simultaneous doping and the formation of a protective coating on the LiMnO cathode.

The development of anode materials for lithium-ion batteries must meet the demands for high safety, high energy density, and fast-charging performance. TiNbO is notable for its high theoretical specific capacity, low structural strain, and exceptional fast-charging capability, attributed to its Wadsley-Roth crystal structure. However, its inherently poor conductivity has hindered its practical application.
