Looking to extend the viability of human tissues, researchers report in ACS’ Nano Letters their efforts to facilitate completely freezing, rather than cooling and then thawing, potentially life-saving organs for transplant. They demonstrate a magnetic nanoparticle’s successful rewarming of animal tissues.
Photothermoelectric (PTE) detectors have garnered substantial research interest for their promising capabilities in broadband self-driven photodetection. To get higher performances, it is crucial to localize light and heat energies for efficient conversion. Therefore, scientists in China fabricated a three-dimensional (3D) tubular detector by nanomembrane self-rolling, and remarkably enhanced performance has been achieved. The proposed self-rolled device holds promise for next-generation on-chip photodetection.
Exploring quantum heat engines is vital for designing highly efficient power systems beyond classical limits and for understanding quantum thermodynamics. Scientists demonstrate the first implementation of chiral thermodynamic cycles and quantum state transfers in a trapped ion by dynamically encircling a closed loop excluding Liouvillian exceptional points.
