Article Abstract
Terahertz waves possess unique electromagnetic properties, such as penetration, high capacity, and non-destructive testing capabilities, making the study of their absorption characteristics highly significant. Building on previous narrowband and broadband research, this paper introduces an absorber capable of switching between narrowband and broadband modes. This absorber leverages the tunability of graphene and the phase transition properties of vanadium dioxide (VO) to achieve adjustable and switchable absorption characteristics. When VO is in its insulating state, the absorption spectrum exhibits dual narrowband absorption with an absorption rate approaching 100%. As the temperature increases, VO transitions to a conductive state, resulting in ultra-wideband absorption with a bandwidth of 2.24 THz. Research has shown that the broadband mode is robust with respect to relaxation time and the thickness of VO (within a certain range). The broadband mode is also insensitive to the angle of incidence. The narrow-to-wideband switching absorber demonstrated in this paper offers new insights for research in related fields.

In this study, potato slices were fried in four different vegetable oils (corn, olive, palm olein, and sunflower) to investigate how oil type influences the characteristics of potato chips. The diffusion coefficient of oils was attempted to be correlated with the final moisture, oil uptake, and textural parameters of potato chips. The diffusion coefficients were determined using two approaches.

The semiconductor-electrolyte interface with strong electrical tunability offers a platform for tuning nonlinear optical (NLO) processes and achieving giant optical nonlinearities. However, such a demonstration and fundamental mechanistic understanding of electrochemically tuned NLO properties have not been reported. Here, we developed an electrochemical Z-scan system to characterize the evolution of NLO responses in tellurium nanorod films under bias voltage.

Background And Objective: Diagnosing pulmonary ground-glass nodules (GGNs) on chest CT imaging remains challenging in clinical practice. Moreover, different stages of GGNs may require different clinical treatments. Hence, we sought to predict the progressive state of pulmonary GGNs (absorption or persistence) for accurate clinical treatment and decision-making.

Seeds of Sophora japonica in Nanjing during the recommended period typically exhibit permeable seed coats. It is imperative to comprehend the water absorption characteristics of the permeable seeds, as water uptake represents a critical step in seed germination. This study employed an integrated approach combining blocking experiments, scanning electron microscopy, staining tests, and magnetic resonance imaging to investigate water entry sites and movement patterns in permeable seeds.

An operando X-ray absorption spectroscopic technique, which enables us to measure X-ray absorption spectra with a position resolution of submicrometers at increased temperatures while controlling atmospheres and passing an electrical current through the specimen, was developed. By applying this technique, the electrochemically active area in a porous LaSrCoO electrode for a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) was experimentally and directly evaluated for the first time. The characteristic length of the active area was approximately 1 μm from the electrode-electrolyte interface under a cathodic overpotential of 140 mV at 873 K under 10 bar of (O), although the investigated electrode was thicker than 50 μm.
