5G wireless communication services have rapidly expanded worldwide, leveraging millimeter-wave (mmW) frequencies in the 24 GHz to 71 GHz range (referred to as frequency range 2, or FR2). Looking ahead, Beyond 5G and 6G services, projected to offer ultra-fast connectivity exceeding 100 Gbit/s, are expected to be introduced in the 2030s. Frequencies in the 150-GHz to 300-GHz range are being considered as potential candidates for these future networks. However, critical components such as radio-wave absorbers, essential for packaging and modularization, still need to be developed. These absorbers play a key role in reducing unwanted reflections and emissions from chips and modules across broad bandwidths, spanning tens of gigahertz. Additionally, modern mmW and terahertz (THz) absorbers must demonstrate strong performance at wide incident angles to support integration with advanced antenna technologies like beamforming and steering.

A collaborative research team, including Institute of Science Tokyo (formerly Tokyo Institute of Technology), Hiroshima University, Tokyo University of Science, the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), and Maxell, Ltd., has developed wide-incident-angle radio-wave absorbers for mmW and THz applications. The team's research introduces radio-wave absorbers utilizing loop-shaped frequency-selective surfaces (FSS), which enhance co-design with antenna beamforming and steering due to their wide-incident-angle absorption properties. These absorbers are versatile and can be applied to lower frequency bands such as 4G LTE, 5G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. The loop-shaped FSS improves performance in lower frequency transmission, reducing transmission loss to below 7 dB (simulated at 0-degree incident angle) at 2.4 GHz. The absorbers achieve 90% wideband absorption across the 26.5 GHz–40 GHz range (for 30-GHz absorbers) and 95.4 GHz–181 GHz/328 GHz–431 GHz (for 150-GHz absorbers) at incident angles up to 60 degrees.

A graph transformer with boundary-aware attention for semantic segmentation
2024-11-08
The transformer-based semantic segmentation approaches, which divide the image into different regions by sliding windows and model the relation inside each window, have achieved outstanding success. However, since the relation modeling between windows was not the primary emphasis of previous work, it was not fully utilized. To solve the problems, a research team led by Zizhang Wu published their new research on 15 October 2024 in Frontiers of Computer Science co-published by Higher Education Press and Springer ...

First-of-its-kind analysis of U.S. national data reveals significant disparities in individual well-being as measured by lifespan, education, and income

2024-11-08
First-of-its-kind analysis of US national data reveals significant disparities in individual well-being as measured by lifespan, education, and income.  White males make up largest share of the group with lowest well-being while American Indian and Alaska Native individuals, and Black males, face the most significant challenges to overall well-being.   Populations at the lowest levels of well-being across the US are especially concentrated in the Deep South, Appalachia, and the Rust Belt.  The ...

Exercise programs help cut new mums’ ‘baby blues’ severity and major depression risk

2024-11-08
Exercise-only programmes help cut the severity of the ‘baby blues’ and the risk of major clinical depression in new mums, finds a pooled data analysis of the available evidence, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. But at least 80 weekly minutes of moderate intensity exercise, such as brisk walking, water aerobics, stationary cycling, and resistance training with bands, weights, or body weight are needed to achieve the effects, the findings show. Maternal depression and anxiety are relatively common after giving birth and associated with reduced self-care and compromised infant caregiving and bonding, ...

Gut microbiome changes linked to onset of clinically evident rheumatoid arthritis

2024-11-08
Changes in the make-up of the gut microbiome are linked to the onset of clinically evident rheumatoid arthritis in those at risk of the disease because of genetic, environmental, or immunological factors, suggests research published online in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases.   It’s not clear if this instability is a cause or consequence of disease development, emphasise the researchers, but the findings might nevertheless help to identify those at risk as well as paving the way for preventive and personalised treatment strategies, they suggest. Previously published research consistently shows an unfavourable imbalance in ...

Signals from the gut could transform rheumatoid arthritis treatment

2024-11-08
Changes in the gut microbiome before rheumatoid arthritis is developed could provide a window of opportunity for preventative treatments, new research suggests. Bacteria associated with inflammation is found in the gut in higher amounts roughly ten months before patients develop clinical rheumatoid arthritis, a longitudinal study by Leeds researchers has found.  Affecting more than half a million people in the UK, rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease that causes swelling, pain and stiffness in the ...

A 36-gene predictive score of anti-cancer drug resistance anticipates cancer therapy outcomes

A 36-gene predictive score of anti-cancer drug resistance anticipates cancer therapy outcomes
2024-11-07
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – In 1937, President Franklin Roosevelt signed the National Cancer Act, launching a nationwide effort to combat the disease. Eighty-seven years later, despite significant progress, cancer treatment often falls short, with 50 to 80 percent of patients not responding to treatment and more than 600,000 cancer deaths annually in the United States. What if clinicians could predict the success of any cancer treatment, ensuring each patient receives the most effective care? The challenge lies in the diverse nature of the disease. There are hundreds of different types of cancers, characterized by the specific type of cell from which they originate. Even patients ...
