Porous ceramics are lightweight materials with diverse pore structures and are widely applied in areas such as thermal insulation, sound absorption, filtration, catalysis, and energy storage. However, excessive shrinkage during the sintering process of porous ceramics leads to cracking and deterioration, posing significant challenges for achieving complex shapes. Despite its importance, the field of low sintering shrinkage porous ceramics has not received sufficient attention. This review systematically discusses the principles and progress in the development of low sintering shrinkage porous ceramics. First, we introduce the characteristics of various preparation methods, including partial sintering, particle-stabilized foaming, gel-casting, foam-gelcasting, and additive manufacturing (AM). We then explain three primary principles of low sintering shrinkage from the perspectives of the volume effect and mass transfer processes. This review focuses on the properties and applications of typical low sintering shrinkage ceramics such as mullite and alumina, particularly their mechanical properties and thermal conductivity as thermal insulation and ceramic cores. Finally, we summarize the current state and present future perspectives on low sintering shrinkage porous ceramics.

Three-dimensional (3D) visualization of dynamic biological processes in deep tissue remains challenging due to the trade-off between temporal resolution and imaging depth. Here, we present a novel near-infrared-II (NIR-II, 900–1880nm) fluorescence volumetric microscopic imaging method that combines an electrically tunable lens (ETL) with deep learning approaches for rapid 3D imaging. The technology achieves volumetric imaging at 4.2 frames per second (fps) across a 200 μm depth range in live mouse brain vasculature. Two specialized neural networks are utilized: a scale-recurrent network (SRN) for image enhancement and a cerebral vessel interpolation (CVI) network that enables 16-fold axial upsampling. The SRN, trained on two-photon fluorescence microscopic data, improves both lateral and axial resolution of NIR-II fluorescence wide-field microscopic images. The CVI network, adapted from video interpolation techniques, generates intermediate frames between acquired axial planes, resulting in smooth and continuous 3D vessel reconstructions. Using this integrated system, we visualize and quantify blood flow dynamics in individual vessels and are capable of measuring blood velocity at different depths. This approach maintains high lateral resolution while achieving rapid volumetric imaging, and is particularly suitable for studying dynamic vascular processes in deep tissue. Our method demonstrates the potential of combining optical engineering with artificial intelligence to advance biological imaging capabilities.
