Mechanically controllable break junctions are one suitable approach to generate atomic point contacts and ultrasmall and controllable gaps between two metal contacts. For constant bias voltages, the tunneling current can...

CMOS image sensor (CIS) plays a crucial role in diverse optical applications by facilitating the capture of images in the visible and near-infrared spectra. The enhancement of image resolution in CIS by an increase in pi...

The oviduct is a very thin organ with a very tortuous appearance. It is divided into three segments: the infundibulum, the ampulla and the isthmus. Particularly, the oviduct of the viscacha lacks the intramural portion d...

Silicon photonics is playing a key role in areas as diverse as high-speed optical communications, neural networks, supercomputing, quantum photonics, and sensing, which demand the development of highly efficient and comp...

Background The conclusion that people with severe mental illness require involuntary care to protect their health (including threats due to physical—non-psychiatric—illness) is challenged by findings indicating that ...

Prostate cancer (PCa) remains an important public health concern in Western countries. Metabolic syndrome (MeS) is a cluster of pathophysiological disorders with increasing prevalence in the general population that is a ...

Laser processing implies the generation of a material function defined by the shape and the size of the induced structures, being a collective effect of topography, morphology, and structural arrangement. A fundamental d...

In this article, we propose all-dielectric carpet cloaks composed of jungle gym shaped dielectric unit cells and present a design strategy for three-dimensional (3-D) anisotropy control based on the transformation optics...

Cathodoluminescence (CL) microscopy has emerged as a powerful tool for investigating the optical properties of materials at the nanoscale, offering unique insights into the behavior of photonic and plasmonic materials un...

We demonstrate a complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible optical parametric Bragg amplifier on an ultra-silicon-rich nitride chip. The amplifier design incorporates advantageous group index properti...

Nucleic acids (deoxyribonucleic acid – DNA and ribonucleic acid – RNA) are essential components of all living organisms, with DNA encoding genetic information and RNA facilitating vital biological processes. The dete...

Beam-steered infrared (IR) light communication has gained tremendous attention as one of the solutions of congested wireless communication traffic. High performance active beam-steering devices play a crucial role in dat...

A gyroid crystal possesses a peculiar structural feature that can be conceptualized as a triply periodic surface with a constant mean curvature of zero. The exotic optical properties such as the photonic bandgap and opti...

A broadband absorber that utilizes a dispersive metamaterial and covers the entire microwave X-band (8–12 GHz) is proposed in the present study. An ideal absorber attached to the surface of a perfect electric conducto...
