Summary: Scientific interest in cheese crystals has grown significantly since the 1970s, as advancements in technology and analytics have allowed for the identification and understanding of various crystalline species in natural cheeses. While the presence of crystals in cheese can greatly impact texture, consumer response to their occurrence in the marketplace is mixed. Traditional artisanal cheesemakers have the potential to leverage the science behind cheese crystals to create engaging narratives that add value to their products and enhance consumer enjoyment.

Summary: Lanthanum doped cadmium oxide (CdO:La) nanoparticles with different La contents (0, 3, 5 and 7 wt%) were synthesized using the sol-gel method. The crystalline degree of CdO depended on the amount of La dopant, resulting in the formation of cauliflower shaped grains. EDS spectra confirmed the presence of La in the doped materials. Increasing La doping improved transparency, and the 5 wt% La-doped sample showed a high transparency of 90% with a maximum band gap of 2.51 eV. La doping also reduced resistivity, with the 5 wt% La-doped CdO sample exhibiting a minimum sheet resistance of 11.8 & OHM;/ and resistivity of 4.26 x 10-4 & OHM;-cm, along with a high figure of merit of 7.56 x 10-4 & OHM;-1. Additionally, the 5 wt% La-doped sample showed a high specific capacitance of 110 F/g, and improved third order nonlinear optical characteristics.

Summary: This study investigates the AlN nucleation layer issue in GaN high frequency telecommunication and power switching systems fabricated after heteroepitaxy on Silicon or Silicon Carbide. It is shown that using 3C-SiC as an intermediate layer can significantly decrease RF propagation losses. Measurements and analyses demonstrate that dopant diffusion into the 3C-SiC pseudo-substrate is confined beneath the interface, and a slightly conductive zone is present beneath the AlN/3C-SiC interface, explaining the low propagation losses obtained for the devices. This work highlights the importance and efficiency of the 3C-SiC intermediate layer as a pseudo-substrate.

Summary: This study focuses on the preparation and performance of MIS-type high-k dielectric oxide-based UV photodetectors. The researchers found that the Au/Ta2O5/GaN devices prepared on Ta2O5/GaN heterojunction with post-annealing exhibited improved photoresponsivity, EQE, and rise/fall times. This improvement is attributed to the optimized band configuration of the Ta2O5/GaN heterostructure and the effect of post-annealing on photogenerated charge carriers.
