He tried not to be afraid, weaving a path several paces behind in the dark, out of reach of street lights. Near the edge of town, Xiaoguang, nervous as hell by then and about ready to attempt to drag Bei-ge home despite their size difference, fumbled when they stopped at a row of trash bins. He watched silently while Bei-ge pulled a glass bottle from his pocket and balanced it carefully on the metal lip of one of the rusty, filthy boxes, then turning to sit in the dirt. Xiaoguang waited, breathing through his mouth to avoid the smell. Bei-ge noticed him eyeing the soda and shook his head. "I don't want—it would be bad luck." After a few minutes, he picked it up again and poured some out onto the ground, downing the rest with effort as if it was bitter before replacing the bottle in its spot. If it was bad luck, why was he drinking it?

okay look y'all i'm going to try to be very cool here but the truth is i have ZERO CHILL about this fic, only our THIRD first shot fic in english; it's by the magnificent @omaenanimonoda and she's such a freaking good writer pls how do i even word. it's like another ending to the drama we somehow didn't get—you will laugh, you will cry, you might throw things, there are gutwrenching moments and lush soft ones, there were two sentences in particular that made me put my face into my hands and scream gently, i can't wait for you to read this.

“Ran-ge,” Xiaoguang starts. Gu Yiran looks up, warily. “Ran-ge, does that mean I have to give both of you the shovel talk?” Xiaoguang sounds genuinely conflicted about the idea, but he’s looking at Gu Yiran again, hands earnestly thrust in his shorts pockets. “It’s a lot to put on me, but it’s not like you have someone else to do it for you here in Halan, right?” Gu Yiran, who had started out hiding his smile, finds himself unexpectedly touched, even as his smile fades. But it’s an unnecessary offer. “I appreciate it, Xiaoguang,” he says, hands folded carefully in the blankets of Zheng Bei’s bed, “but there’s no need for you to. I’m not— it’s not what you think. I’m not planning to do anything.” There won’t be anything to act on, when the case inevitably closes next week and Gu Yiran leaves Halan. Xiaoguang is staring at him, but in the end it's Gu Yiran who looks away first.

i have secret designs on a xiaoguang & gu yiran bromance in this fic ... we shall see if it comes to fruition. i just really really like the idea of xiaoguang's loyalty and protectiveness showing up for gu yiran now that he's accepted him as a bro, yknow?

[fangcaodi]

I can’t believe Xiaoguang made a tape of him singing her favorite Cantonese songs 😭 He’s so cheesy that it’s endearing.

[hideyseek]

obviously this isnt a problem in chinese but damn in english its kind of inconvenient that our main cast has THREE people w surnames that start with zh? like im revising my fic and mentally accidentally filling in zheng bei for zhao xiaoguang lmao.

THE FIRST SHOT (2024) 雪迷宫 "You can call me that."

[lunarriviera]

something that touches back by lunarriviera fandom: 雪迷宫 | The First Shot (TV) rating: E words: 13.7k warnings: no archive warnings apply relationships: Gu Yiran/Zheng Bei characters: Ding Guozhu, Zhang Xueyao, Zheng Nan, Zheng Bei's father, Zheng Bei's mother, Zhao Xiaoguang, Xin Tiegang tags: Gu Yiran POV, post-canon, first time, getting together, there was only one bed, police, undercover, arguing, crime fighting, angst and hurt/comfort, team as family, family feels, idiots in love

Gu Yiran had taken everything off the situation board that morning, and boxed it all up for the archives. There was one photo he kept, ripped in half. He thought Zheng Bei might want it back, later. Zheng Bei’s face is drawn and his eyes are haunted. He's hardly spoken since he woke up. Gu Yiran hates it. He doesn’t know what to do, to make it alright again.

six sentence sunday

“Speaking of tickets,” Zhao Xiaoguang says, “Aren’t you excited to go home soon, Ran-ge? I’m sure you miss the Huazhou summers, our summertime here in Halan is probably barely as warm as your springtime.”  Gu Yiran’s spoon knocks against the side of his tin and spills rice back into the container. For a long flash, all he can think of is: the heavy drench of warm summer rain — the long droning nothing of a dial tone in his ear — the scrape of asphalt against his palms and elbows when he finally fell to the road outside his family apartment.  “Ran-ge?” Zhao Xiaoguang prompts.

the nice thing about writing a fic that is an alternate version of canon events is i can just go "hey i didn't like how they had that convo in canon. i'm going to make it different :3" and then make it different.

[hideyseek]

an unexpected focus of this fic is turning out to be the gu yiran & zhao xiaoguang friendship ... i did not expect it but it is so cute to me ... many parallels between them!!!!

Researchers design 'intelligent' metamaterial to make MRIs affordable and accessible

Researchers design 'intelligent' metamaterial to make MRIs affordable and accessible

Boston University researchers have developed a new, “intelligent” metamaterial—which costs less than ten bucks to build—that could revolutionize magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), making the entire MRI process faster, safer, and more accessible to patients around the world. The technology, which builds on previous metamaterial work by the team, was described in a new paper in Advanced Materials.

MRI is used by clinicians to diagnose medical problems by spotting abnormalities that could indicate anything from a torn meniscus to muscular dystrophy. But MRIs are expensive, expose patients to radiation, and they take a long time—often the greater part of an hour for a single scan. Finding enough MRI time for waiting patients can be a problem, even in US hospitals, but in hospitals in countries like India, waiting periods of a year or more can put patients’ lives at risk.

So how do we speed up the MRI process without jeopardizing the quality of imaging? Xin Zhang, a BU College of Engineering professor of mechanical engineering and a Photonics Center professor, and a team of researchers that includes Stephan Anderson, a Boston Medical Center radiologist and BU School of Medicine professor of radiology, and Xiaoguang Zhao, a MED assistant research professor of radiology, are getting creative with metamaterials to solve the problem.

MRI works by generating a powerful magnetic field and sending radio waves into a patient’s body. “An MRI’s magnetic field is many thousands of times stronger than the Earth’s magnetic field,” says Zhao. “A precisely orchestrated series of higher-energy radio waves are sent into the human body, and the tissues emit lower-energy radio waves that are received by the MRI to produce an image.”

The quality of MRI images depends to a great extent on what’s called “signal-to-noise ratio,” or SNR. The higher the SNR, the better the image, and the most direct way to improve the SNR is to turn up the magnetic field. Unfortunately, any increase in the magnetic field also increases complexity and cost of the MRI, as well as potential risks to patients, whose tissue, and particularly, whose implanted medical devices, are literally heated up by the radiation. For that reason, radiologists who would like to get a better look inside a body cannot simply turn up the magnetic field strength.

So Zhang and her collaborators developed a new magnetic metamaterial that, when placed beside the body part that is the target of a scan, boosts the energy emitted by the patient’s body, increasing SNR and improving MRI imaging. The magnetic metamaterial, which is made of simple copper wiring and plastic, was published in March 2019 in Nature’s Communications Physics.

Now, Zhang, Anderson, Zhao, and other team members have taken their development one big step further, developing what they call an “intelligent” metamaterial that selectively boosts the low-energy emissions from the patient’s body, and literally turns itself off during the millisecond bursts of high-energy transmission from the machine.

Zhang says that the intelligent metamaterial amplifies SNR by 10-fold, which greatly enhances image quality and reduces scan time, opening up a new way to obtain crisper MRI images at very low cost.

“Shortening MRI examinations is paramount to maximizing the capacity,” says Anderson. “Not to mention revenue, as well as the overall patient experience of this powerful imaging technology.”

“The intelligent metamaterial consists of an array of metallic helical resonators closely packed with [a passive sensor],” says Zhao. “When the high-energy radio waves are coming in, the metamaterial detects the high energy level and ‘turns off’ the resonance automatically. With low-energy radio excitation, the metamaterial [turns on] the resonance and enhances the magnetic component of the radio wave.”

That off-time, while only milliseconds long, allows clinicians to use the intelligent metamaterial to enhance the energy sent back to the MRI. It also diminishes the patient’s overall exposure to radio wave radiation and mitigates potential safety concerns, easing the path toward adoption of this technology in clinical imaging.

“We can now build smart materials that can interact with radio waves intelligently, enhancing the wanted signal while letting the unwanted signal go,” says Zhang.

The researchers estimate that the metamaterial array, developed with the support of the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, should cost less than $10 to construct. Even though the current magnetic metamaterial prototype is a flat, thick layer, they expect to adapt it to a flexible, ultra-thin MRI enhancement sheet. Integrated with clinical MRI systems, they say, their newly discovered magnetic metamaterials have the potential to usher in a quantum leap in the performance of MRI.
