Photodetectors with broad spectral response and high responsivity demonstrate significant potential in optoelectronic applications. This study proposes a Si/Ge avalanche photodiode featuring nanostructures that enhance light absorption. By optimizing the device epitaxial structure and these nanostructures, a wide spectral responsivity from 0.4 to 1.6 μm is achieved. The results demonstrate that introducing surface photon-trapping nanoholes and SiO reflective grating nanostructures increases the average light absorptivity from 0.64 to 0.84 in the 0.4-1.1 μm range and from 0.31 to 0.56 in the 1.1-1.6 μm range. At an applied bias of 0.95 V, the responsivity reaches 17.24 A/W at 1.31 μm and 17.6 A/W at 1.55 μm. This research provides theoretical insights for designing high-responsivity photodetectors in the visible-near-infrared broadband spectrum.

Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is an aggressive hematologic neoplasm characterized by an expansion of CD123 monocytes and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). pDC bone marrow clusters in CMML have been associated with higher rates of acute myeloid leukemia transformation. We evaluated tagraxofusp, a CD123-targeted therapy, in a phase 1/2 trial for patients with CMML.

Background Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a leading cause of mortality globally. Accurate identification and characterization of significant coronary artery lesions via CT is important for proper diagnosis and patient management. However, current supervised techniques for lesion identification require detailed manual annotations, which are both labor-intensive and prone to human error.

Background: Previous studies investigating the association between pubertal timing and depression in girls primarily use self-reported age at menarche (AAM). This study examines a range of pubertal timing indicators, including anthropometric and self-reported measures.
Aims: Compare associations of multiple indicators of pubertal timing with depressive symptoms and depression in girls and explore whether these associations persist into early adulthood.

Biomass burning (BB) emits carbonaceous aerosols that significantly influence air quality in Southwest China during spring. To further understand the characteristics of spring BB and its original contribution to organic carbon (OC), daily fine particulate matter (PM) samples were collected from March to May 2022 in Pu'er, Southwest China. The concentrations of OC, elemental carbon (EC), levoglucosan (Lev), and potassium from BB (K) during the study period ranged from 5.

While employing hydrogels as conductive interconnects in flexible electronics, two intrinsic challenges require comprehensive solutions: performance degradation resulting from water evaporation and functional instability caused by strain-induced resistance increase. Thus, we integrate hygroscopic lithium bromide (LiBr) directly into hydrogel polymerization and exploit its multifaceted characteristics to develop a conductive hydrogel with humidity-adaptive water retention and strain-insensitivity. The synthesis is guided by the idea of "less is more", characteristics of acrylamide monomers (Aam), the silane coupling agent, and LiBr are synergistically leveraged to architect a hierarchical network comprising a primary backbone and dual-dynamic crosslinking.
