Summary: This paper reviews the application of curcumin in food packaging, especially the embedding method and release effect of curcumin, and its joint use with metal antimicrobial agents. Curcumin has multiple excellent functional properties, but its application is limited by poor water solubility and decomposition in the presence of light. By embedding measures such as nanoparticles, microcapsules, and nanofibres, or encapsulating curcumin using substances with special structures, the limitations of its application can be improved.

Summary: With the serious environmental pollution, photocatalytic technology has been extensively studied for the continuous development of society. Bismuth-based materials, as appealing semiconductors, have become a research hotspot in photocatalysis due to their unique electronic structure, appropriate bandgap energy, high light quantum, and outstanding electronic transmission efficiency. However, the separation and recovery of photocatalyst from reaction systems remains challenging. Introducing a magnetic component is the most promising strategy to facilitate the separation process.

Summary: This paper reviews the application of liquid cold plates in high-performance server chip heat dissipation and summarizes recent research progress in geometry optimization, interrupted structures, channel patterns, and two-phase flow. Various methods have been applied to increase the heat transfer area and improve thermal performance, but they also result in more pressure drop. Commercialization of liquid cold plates by combining academic research with practical application is crucial. The paper concludes with a discussion on the limitations of current research and future research directions.

Summary: A wide class of singular inhomogeneously polarized beams with nonuniform rotation rate of polarization azimuth are introduced in this study. They are obtained by adding extra phase modulation with m-fold rotational symmetry to the helical wavefronts of Poincare beams. The modulated Poincare beams have been theoretically studied and experimentally generated using tailored space-varying-axis plates based on liquid crystals.

Summary: In this work, a liquid crystal-based modular and extendable platform is proposed for studying materials by analyzing polarization and wavefront of light. This platform will be driven by the future THz-FEL source TerRa@BriXSinO, which produces high power radiation in the THz-range. Liquid crystal-based geometric phase components have been fabricated to optimize the source's potential for accurately determining polarization- and wavefront-sensitive properties of materials. This platform allows characterizing various properties of materials and can add orbital angular momentum for investigating chiral agents' properties using nonlinear optics techniques.

Summary: Asymmetric polarization disclinations, namely monstars, can be created either by superimposing three spatial modes with circular polarization states or by using a modulated Poincare beam. The latter consists of an inseparable superposition of a circularly-polarized fundamental Gaussian beam TEM00 and a second beam with an opposite circular polarization and an azimuthally-modulated vortex. By analyzing the spatial modes involved in the superposition, the latter method allows for the generation of multiple disclinations and effective predictions of the resulting patterns at the design stage.

Summary: Adopting quantum resources for parameter estimation enables quantum sensors to achieve sensitivity beyond the standard quantum limit. We propose a method that allows the resources to reach the same power law of Heisenberg scaling without prior knowledge of the parameter. Experimental results show sub-standard quantum limit performances in measuring a rotation angle using high-order orbital angular momentum of single-photon states, achieving an error reduction >10 dB below the standard quantum limit. These results have implications for resource optimization in quantum sensing.
