Programmable Anisotropic Terahertz Permittivity via High‐Aspect‐Ratio 3D‐Printed Dielectric Mesh Networks

ABSTRACT We present a 3D‐printed anisotropic dielectric with programmable terahertz permittivity. The design embeds a mesh network of high‐aspect‐ratio void channels within a bulk substrate. The anisotropic electromagnetic response, which depends on the orientation of the void ch...

Evaluating Immunotherapy Outcomes in Elderly Patients with Extensive-Stage Small-Cell Lung Cancer (KCSG LU23-15)

PurposeChemoimmunotherapy has improved outcomes in extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC), but its benefit in older adults remains uncertain because this population is underrepresented in clinical trials.We evaluated the real-world efficacy of first-line atezolizumab pl...

Effect of cobalt doping on NiSe2-based sensing electrode for non-enzymatic electrochemical ascorbic acid detection

Ascorbic acid is an essential antioxidant involved in redox homeostasis, immune response, and metabolic processes. The development of low-cost high accurate electrochemical sensors is critical to overcome conventional glass carbon electrodes (GCE). In this report, we report the f...

Closed‐Loop Solid‐State Synthesis Planning for Materials Discovery With Large Language Models

Developing reliable synthesis routes for complex materials remains a major bottleneck in accelerating materials discovery. This study establishes a large language model-based framework for predicting and optimizing synthesis conditions directly from the literature data. Key synth...

End-to-end deep learning-based determination of programmable shunt valve settings from standard two-view skull radiographs

Accurate identification of programmable shunt valve settings is crucial for managing patients with hydrocephalus, as unintended setting changes can lead to overdrainage or underdrainage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Existing artificial intelligence (AI) models primarily focus on...

Early On-Treatment Host Fitness Dynamics Refine Prognostic Stratification in Advanced NSCLC Receiving First-Line Immunotherapy

PurposeWe assessed whether baseline and early on-treatment measurements of host fitness using the Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) provide complementary prognostic information in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Materials and MethodsWithin the prospective, multicent...

Hierarchical DefectEngineering for Spectral PhononControl in Monolayer MoS2

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenides are attractive for nanoelectronics and energy harvesting, where thermal transport critically impacts device reliability, performance, and energy efficiency. Here, we establish hierarchical defect engineering in monola...
