Deep Learning–Driven Surface‐Enhanced Raman Scattering–Lateral Flow Immunoassay With Au Nanostars for High‐Accuracy Respiratory Virus Detection

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The high accuracy in surface‐enhanced Raman scattering‐lateral flow immunoassays (SERS–LFIAs) is critical for reliable point‐of‐care testing (POCT) in clinical diagnostics. Conventional approaches are often affected by sampling variability and uneven distribution of immunoprobes, leading to unreliable signal fluctuations.

Interface Issues of Inorganic Solid‐State Electrolytes in Secondary Magnesium Batteries

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Solid‐state magnesium batteries (SSMBs) have gained significant attention as promising candidates for next‐generation safe energy storage systems because of the abundance of magnesium (Mg) in the earth's crust, superior energy density, and inherent nonflammability.

Molecular nonchemically amplified resists based on spirobixanthene backbone: Sulfoxime oxime esters versus sulfonium salts

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
The sensitivity of sulfoxime oxime esters significantly surpasses that of sulfonium salts in spirobixanthene‐based nonchemically amplified molecular glass resists, and Z‐factor reveals that X4‐NI‐tfb has the best overall lithographic performance. Abstract The nonchemically amplified (nonCA) polymer resists, including ionic and non‐ionic types, have ...
