Abstract: A photonic parallel network can be used to sample combinatorially hard distributions of Ising problems. The photonic parallel network, also called a photonic processor, finds the ground state of a general Ising problem and can probe critical behaviors of universality classes and their critical exponents. In addition to the attractive features of photonic networks—passivity, parallelization, high-speed and low-power—the photonic processor exploits dynamic noise that occurs during the detection process to find ground states more efficiently.

Abstract: The present invention provides a curable composition, a curable adhesive film, and an adhesive tape. Specifically, the curable composition comprises, based on the total weight thereof as 100 wt %: 15-50 wt % of an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer; 10-40 wt % of polyvinyl butyral; and 20-60 wt % of an epoxy resin. The curable adhesive film according to the technical solution of the present invention has no tackiness at room temperature, which enables the curable adhesive film to have the ability to reposition even after being laminated on a substrate, making the curable adhesive film applicable to substrates with irregular shapes. Once initiated by UV radiation, the curable adhesive film is flowable and tacky at elevated temperatures. The cured adhesive has good bonding strength at high temperatures. The curable adhesive film features high bond strength and low odor, and can be used for void filling, especially for side panel bonding of electric vehicle battery modules in the electric vehicle (EV) market.

Abstract: Disclosed probes comprise metal nanoparticle cores associated with magnetic particles that allow probes associated with targets to be concentrated by an applied magnetic field to increase detection sensitivity and provide sufficient spacing between concentrated probes to avoid signal quenching. The probe may comprise at least one recognition receptor, and may further comprise at least one reporter molecule, such as a fluorescent tag, a Raman reporter, or combinations thereof. Concentrating probe-target composites substantially enhances a sensing signal, such as from 5 to 10 times, compared to detection without concentrating the probes. The method may be used to detect, for example, interleukins at concentrations at least as low as 25 pg/ml in sputum or blood from a subject for early and precise profiling of viral infections, such as SARS-CoV-2 infections.
