We designed and fabricated a highly deformable and high-performance optical paper-based perovskite (CHNHPbBr) terahertz modulator. Broadband modulation of the terahertz transmission and reflection in the device reached 30% and 50%, respectively, which represents superior modulation performance to that of quartz-based polycrystalline film and quartz-based CHNHPbBr polycrystalline samples. Bending measurements revealed the paper-based device's strong bending stability. A decrease in the reflection and transmission of the sample under light excitation resulted in the strong absorption of terahertz waves. This provides an approach to dynamically control terahertz waves, for example, in absorbing, shielding, and stealth devices. This approach offers both flexibility and biodegradability, which is advantageous for creating sustainable and eco-friendly THz devices.

We study nonperturbative effects of torus partition function of the TT[over ¯]-deformed 2D conformal field theory (CFT) by resurgence in this Letter and a companion paper. The deformed partition function can be written as an infinite series of the deformation parameter λ. We develop highly efficient methods to compute perturbative coefficients in the λ expansion.

Background: Peripheral nerve injury commonly results in pain and long-term disability for patients. Recovery after in-continuity stretch or crush injury remains inherently unpredictable. However, surgical intervention yields the most favorable outcomes when performed shortly after injury.

All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs), equipped with highly ion-conductive sulfide solid electrolytes and utilizing lithium plating/stripping as anode electrochemistry, suffer from 1) chemical vulnerability of the electrolytes with lithium and 2) physical growth of lithium to penetrate the electrolytes. By employing an ordered mesoporous graphitic carbon (OMGC) framework between a sulfide electrolyte layer and a copper current collector in ASSB, the concerns by are addressed 1) minimizing the chemically vulnerable interface (CVI) between electric conductor and solid electrolyte, and 2) allowing lithium ingrowth toward the porous structure via Coble creep, a diffusional deformation mechanism of lithium metal along the lithium-carbon interface. The void volume of the framework is fully filled with lithium metal, despite ionic pathways not being provided separately, even without additional lithiophiles, when an enough amount of lithium is allowed to be plated.

Multicellular organisms generate organizational complexity through morphogenesis, in which mechanical forces orchestrate the movements and deformations of cells and tissues, while chemical signals regulate the molecular events that generate and coordinate these forces. One common denominator that is critical both for mechanics and biochemistry is material property. Material properties define how materials deform or rearrange under applied forces, and how rapidly molecules interact or spread in space and time.

Prominauris is the most common congenital ear deformity, presenting in 5 % of the global population, and most patients endorse negative experiences or aesthetic dissatisfaction as motivation for corrective otoplasty. Mustarde-Furnas is a popular otoplasty technique among pediatric patients. Given the cosmetic intention, result consistency is highly important in otoplasty, which our modification of the Mustarde technique aims to address.
