Record‐High Birefringence Achieved by Linearly Extended π‑Conjugated Building Blocks in Metal‐Free Sulfate

ABSTRACT The advancement of birefringent materials is critical for next‐generation integrated photonics, yet conventional systems face intrinsic limitations in birefringence magnitude. Sulfate crystals offer a promising platform but have been hindered by their dependence on speci...

Thermal and Electrical Performance of a Cascade PV/T Solar Drying System and Drying Kinetics of Carrot Slices

Solar hot-air drying technology has developed rapidly in the field of low-temperature fruit and vegetable processing; however, fluctuations in solar irradiance affect the stability of system energy supply and energy utilization efficiency. In this study, a cascaded photovoltaic/t...

Solar Evaporation-Induced Mass-Transfer Enhancement in a Biomass-Derived Dual-Network Aerogel for Selective Enrichment of Rare-Earth Ions

Abstract Low-concentration rare-earth industrial wastewater contains low target-ion concentrations and high concentrations of coexisting salts, which limit mass transfer in conventional static adsorption. A biomass-derived dual-network photothermal aerogel (CB@DCP) was developed,...

The needs of primary family caregivers for post-discharge follow-up services for older adults with mental disorders: a qualitative study

To investigate the experiences, expectations, and barriers regarding post-discharge follow-up services among primary caregivers of older adults with mental disorders. A descriptive qualitative research design was employed. The study included 17 primary caregivers of older adults...
