Article Abstract

Optical radiation pressure caused by the force exerted by photons upon interacting with matter represents a crucial phenomenon for exploring physical and biological processes, particularly in the context of optical tweezers. However, accurately measuring the absolute value of radiation pressure presents a significant challenge owing to its inherently small magnitude. Conventional measurement setups are often complex and costly. This study demonstrates the measurement of radiation pressure using a near-infrared light-emitting diode (LED) in ambient conditions, employing a simple and cost-effective experimental setup. The radiation pressure was quantified by measuring the deflection of a highly sensitive microcantilever, achieving pressure measurements as low as 228 nPa, equivalent to a force of 21.5 fN. This represents the smallest absolute value of radiation pressure measured to date and marks the first successful application of an LED in such experiments under standard atmospheric conditions. The simplicity and affordability of this method make it a promising candidate for integration into compact devices for industrial applications, such as full-scale testing of sensitive pressure sensors used in atomic force microscopy, photoacoustic spectroscopy, and advancing the understanding of physical and biological phenomena.

The construction of C─N bonds from simple precursors under ambient conditions is a fundamental challenge in green chemistry, especially when it comes to avoiding energy-intensive protocols. Here, we present a continuous flow photocatalytic platform that enables the efficient coupling of C─N bonds between methanol and ammonia at ambient temperature and pressure. By synergistically engineering a Pd clusters-decorated TiO photocatalyst (1Pd/TiO) and a mass transfer-enhanced gas-liquid-solid Taylor flow reactor, the system achieves a remarkable formamide productivity of 256.

The goal of this study was to understand the interaction between the voice source spectral shape, formant tuning, and fundamental frequency in determining the vocal tract contribution to vocal intensity. Computational voice simulations were performed with parametric variations in both vocal fold and vocal tract configurations. The vocal tract contribution to vocal intensity was quantified as the difference in the A-weighted sound pressure level between the radiated sound pressure and the sound pressure at the glottis.
