- The Visual Object Tracking Segmentation VOTS2023 challenge is the eleventh annual tracker benchmarking activity of the VOT initiative. This challenge is the first to merge short-term and long-term as well as single-target and multiple-target tracking with segmentation masks as the only target location specification. A new dataset was created; the ground truth has been withheld to prevent overfitting. New performance measures and evaluation protocols have been created along with a new toolkit and an evaluation server. Results of the presented 47 trackers indicate that modern tracking frameworks are well-suited to deal with convergence of short-term and long-term tracking and that multiple and single target tracking can be considered a single problem. A leaderboard, with participating trackers details, the source code, the datasets, and the evaluation kit are publicly available at the challenge website1

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has recently been demonstrated to contain optically polarized and detected electron spins that can be utilized for implementing qubits and quantum sensors in nanolayered-devices. Understanding the coherent dynamics ofmicrowave driven spins in hBN is of crucial importance for advancing these emerging new technologies. Here, we demonstrate and study the Rabi oscillation and related phenomena of a negatively charged boron vacancy (V-B(-)) spin ensemble in hBN. We report on different dynamics of the V-B(-) spins at weak and strong magnetic fields. In the former case the defect behaves like a single electron spin system, while in the latter case it behaves like a multi-spin system exhibiting multiple-frequency dynamical oscillation as beat in the Ramsey fringes. We also carry out theoretical simulations for the spin dynamics of V-B(-) and reveal that the nuclear spins can be driven via the strong electron nuclear coupling existing in V-B(-) center, which can be modulated by the magnetic field and microwave field.

- Humidity measurement has been of extreme importance in both conventional environment monitoring and emerging digital health management. State-of-the-art flexible humidity sensors with combined structures, however, lack sensing reliability when they subject to high humidity with condensation and/or liquid water invasion. Here, we report a free-standing humidity sensor by creating a stable open porous graphite structure and controlling the number of oxygen-related groups at the molecular level. The sensor indicates high sensing reliability against water liquid wetting and machine washing as well as many mechanical deformations. We demonstrate the sensor has wide potential applications in challenge environmental monitoring and wearable body area sensing networks. Particularly, the concept of the humidity sensing strategy is applicative to not only cellulose-based materials such as cotton and linen, but also protein-based materials such as silk, paving a new route for producing high-performance and cost-effective humidity sensors.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Stable perovskite oxide is considered as a potential cathode for microbial fuel cells (MFCs). Herein, Zn is used as an effective element to modify the micro-structure and oxygen vacancy of perovskite to be a novel cathode catalyst. Physical characterizations show that due to partial volatilization at high temperature of Zn, perovskite forms hierarchically porous structures. Moreover, Zn is precipitated in electrochemical reaction to generate Zn vacancy in situ; thus, the active center of Fe has a superior interaction with oxygen-containing species, promoting the production of oxygen vacancy and forms a mixed valence state of Fe2+/Fe3+. The Zn-doped perovskite material CaFe0.7Zn0.3O3 exhibits remarkable oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performances with outstanding onset potential (0.194 V vs. Ag/AgCl) and half-wave potential (-0.219 V vs. Ag/AgCl) under alkaline condition, which is better than Pt/C catalyst. Besides, CaFe0.7Zn0.3O3 shows an excellent four-electron pathway of ORR mechanism with remarkable corrosion resistance and stability, which enables a more reliable cathode electrocatalyst. The maximum power density of CaFe0.7Zn0.3O3 (892.10 +/- 90.79 mW m(-3)) testing on microbial fuel cell is comparable to the maximum power density (1012.86 +/- 84.03 mW m(-3)) of Pt/C. The findings of this work provide the feasibility of exploring inexpensive and high-performance cathode catalyst.

Mechanism study on organic ternary photovoltaics with 18.3% certified efficiency: from molecule to device

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Multi-component organic photovoltaics (OPVs), e.g., ternary blends, are effective for high performance, while the fundamental understanding from the molecular to device level is lacking. To address this issue, we here systematically study the working mechanism of ternary OPVs based on non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs). With both molecular dynamics simulations and morphology characterization, we identify that when adding another larger band gap and highly miscible NFA, namely IT-4F or BTP-S2, into the PBDB-TF:BTP-eC9 blend, the NFAs undergo molecular intermixing selectively with BTP-eC9. This causes the composition-dependent band gap and charge recombination, and hence the composition-dependent V-OC. While the charge recombination still dominantly occurs at the PBDB-TF:BTP-eC9 interface, BTP-S2 or IT-4F plays an auxiliary role in facilitating charge transfer and suppressing non-radiative decay. Interestingly, intermolecular end-group packing in the intermixed blend is improved compared to that in pristine films, leading to higher carrier mobility. These synergistic effects significantly improve the power conversion efficiency of the device to an outstanding value of 18.7% (certified value of 18.3%).

The direction-dependence of apparent water exchange rate in human white matter

- Transmembrane water exchange is a potential biomarker in the diagnosis and understanding of cancers, brain disorders, and other diseases. Filter-exchange imaging (FEXI), a special case of diffusion exchange spectroscopy adapted for clinical applications, has the potential to reveal different physiological water exchange processes. However, it is still controversial whether modulating the diffusion encoding gradient direction can affect the apparent exchange rate (AXR) measurements of FEXI in white matter (WM) where water diffusion shows strong anisotropy. In this study, we explored the diffusion-encoding direction dependence of FEXI in human brain white matter by performing FEXI with 20 diffusion-encoding directions on a clinical 3T scanner in-vivo. The results show that the AXR values measured when the gradients are perpendicular to the fiber orientation (0.77 +/- 0.13 s - 1 , mean +/- standard deviation of all the subjects) are significantly larger than the AXR estimates when the gradients are parallel to the fiber orientation (0.33 +/- 0.14 s - 1 , p < 0.001) in WM voxels with coherently-orientated fibers. In addition, no significant correlation is found between AXRs measured along these two directions, indicating that they are measuring different water exchange processes. Whats more, only the perpendicular AXR rather than the parallel AXR shows dependence on axonal diameter, indicating that the perpendicular AXR might reflect transmembrane water exchange between intra-axonal and extra-cellular spaces. Further finite difference (FD) simulations having three water compartments (intra-axonal, intra-glial, and extra-cellular spaces) to mimic WM micro-environments also suggest that the perpendicular AXR is more sensitive to the axonal water transmembrane exchange than parallel AXR. Taken together, our results show that AXR measured along different directions could be utilized to probe different water exchange processes in WM.

- Water-based conductive inks are vital for the sustainable manufacturing and widespread adoption of organic electronic devices. Traditional methods to produce waterborne conductive polymers involve modifying their backbone with hydrophilic side chains or using surfactants to form and stabilize aqueous nanoparticle dispersions. However, these chemical approaches are not always feasible and can lead to poor material/device performance. Here, we demonstrate that ground-state electron transfer (GSET) between donor and acceptor polymers allows the processing of water-insoluble polymers from water. This approach enables macromolecular charge-transfer salts with 10,000x higher electrical conductivities than pristine polymers, low work function, and excellent thermal/solvent stability. These waterborne conductive films have technological implications for realizing high-performance organic solar cells, with efficiency and stability superior to conventional metal oxide electron transport layers, and organic electrochemical neurons with biorealistic firing frequency. Our findings demonstrate that GSET offers a promising avenue to develop water-based conductive inks for various applications in organic electronics. Chemical approaches to improve aqueous dispersions of conjugated polymers are limited by the feasibility of modifying the backbone or lead to poor performance. Here, Liu et al. show that ground-state electron transfer in donor:acceptor blends aids aqueous dispersion, for high conductivity and solubility.
