Soft x-ray high-harmonic generation in an anti-resonant hollow core fiber driven by a 3 μm ultrafast laser

High-harmonic upconversion driven by a mid-infrared femtosecond laser can generate coherent soft x-ray beams in a tabletop-scale setup. Here, we report on a compact ytterbium-pumped optical parametric chirped pulse amplifier (OPCPA) laser s...

Improved object detection method for autonomous driving based on DETR

Object detection is a critical component in the development of autonomous driving technology and has demonstrated significant growth potential. To address the limitations of current techniques, this paper presents an improved object detecti...

The electrochemical effects of pitch stabilization for supercapacitor-grade activated carbon precursors

Petroleum pitch (PP) is a by-product generated during the petroleum refining process, characterized by its high carbon content, tunable structure, and cost-effectiveness. These attributes have spurred extensive research into its potential a...

Thermoelectric properties of high pressure synthesized lithium and calcium double-filled CoSb3

Lithium and calcium are inefficient filling elements of CoSb3 at ambient pressure, but show nice filling behavior under high pressure. In this work, we synthesized Li/Ca double-filled CoSb3 with high pressure synthesis method. The products ...
