Article Abstract

In this study, a feasibility of γ radiation detection using complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors with a neural network algorithm to extract the γ rays interacted pixels has been investigated. The responses characteristics of the CMOS imaging sensor to γ-ray is studied by placed in a γ fields produced by standardCo orCs isotope sources. The supported preview frame rate of the CMOS image sensor is 25 fps, establishing the functional relationship between the gray level histograms and the dose rate through the neural network, the high energy γ-ray fromCo andCs source radiation dose rate in µSv/h level can be detected using the CMOS imaging sensor. The results show that the proposed method can effectively identify the number of photon particles which detected by the radiation monitoring system based on CMOS image sensor, and infer that the CMOS imaging sensor with a radiation signal extraction algorithm can be used as a dose warner for radiation protection purpose.

Introduction: Human iPSC-derived brain organoids and assembloids have emerged as promising in vitro models for recapitulating human brain development, neurological disorders, and drug responses. However, detailed analysis of their electrophysiological properties requires advanced measurement techniques.

Methods: Here, we present an analytical approach using ultra-high-density (UHD) CMOS microelectrode arrays (MEAs) with 236,880 electrodes across a 32.

Heavy-metal-free III-V semiconductor-based colloidal quantum dots (CQDs), such as InAs, are promising candidates for near- and short-wave infrared detection. However, up-to-date research efforts remain mainly limited to wavelengths below 1100 nm due to challenges in synthesis, junction formation, and passivation for large diameter InAs quantum dots. Systematic investigations into device design, reverse dark current mechanisms, and trap distributions in larger InAs quantum dots remain limited.

Nonvolatile optoelectronic synapses motivated by the human eye can effectively function as convolutional kernels to preprocess images, demonstrating significant promise for edge computing. Among the optoelectronic synapses, the floating-gate photosensitive transistor (FG-PT) is particularly noteworthy due to its rapid response speed and excellent retention. Although some FG-PTs are reported, they still suffer from high operating voltages, low conductance ratios, and difficulties in array preparation.

Recently, ambipolar semiconductor devices have excelled in developing programmable photodiodes for brain-inspired image sensors, offering energy, speed, and security gains. However, the lack of mature processing techniques makes their manufacture challenging, and the often-adopted Schottky contacts limit their performance. Although CMOS technology is successful in integrated circuits, the employed ohmic contacts can only transport one type of carriers, failing to meet the requirement of electrons and holes working simultaneously in ambipolar devices.

This article presents a deep learning approach for classifying the developmental stages (larvae, nymphs, adult females, and adult males) of ticks, the most common tick species in Europe and a major vector of tick-borne pathogens, including , , and tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV). Each developmental stage plays a different role in disease transmission, with nymphs considered the most epidemiologically relevant stage due to their small size and high prevalence. We developed a convolutional neural network (CNN) model trained on a dataset of microscopic tick images collected in the area of Upper Silesia, Poland.
