Bidirectional wavelength-division-multiplexing fibre-free-space optical communications using polarisation multiplexing technique and tunable optical vestigial sideband filter
A bidirectional WDM fibre-FSO communication employing polarisation multiplexing technique and tunable optical VSB filter is proposed and successfully achieved. The capability of bidirectional fibre-FSO communications holds substantial potential for enhancing advanced wired-wireless communications.
Membrane topography variations cause apparent protein clustering
Apparent clustering of membrane proteins occurs upon failing to account for membrane topography variations. This we demonstrate and present a remedy for. Our data suggest that the high incidence of clustering reported misrepresents biology of consequence for our conceptional understanding.
Nanofluidic Sensing
The unique nanoconfined water often leads to the discovery of unexpected phenomena. Here, we report an electrically controlled two-dimensional channels with cation intercalated for nanofluidic sensing, which opens a door for the field of sensing.
TPE-Embedded Butterfly Bis-Crown Ether with Controllable Conformation and Supramolecular Chiroptical Property
A series of bis-crown ethers with AIE-active TPE core are synthesized via intramolecular McMurry coupling. The incorporation of flexible side chains into the rigid TPE core results in specific strain on the molecules, generating two conformers with specific semi-rigid symmetric/asymmetric structures
Behind the Paper: Unraveling the Magnetic Mysteries of Na₂Co₂TeO₆
The journey to understanding the magnetic properties of Na₂Co₂TeO₆ (NCTO) began with a fundamental question: Can this material reveal the elusive quantum spin-liquid (QSL) state predicted by the Kitaev model? Our article provides the answer.
