Dissociative convulsions, a prominent form of dissociative (conversion) disorder formerly known as hysteria, are a common and elusive differential diagnosis from epilepsy. However, the treatment of such patients is alway...

For achieving well-performing optical thermometry, a new type of dual-mode optical thermometer is explored based on the valley-to-peak ratio (VPR) and fluorescence lifetime of Eu3+ emissions in the ZrO2:Eu3+ nanocrystals...

Atomically thin 2D materials such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) provide a wide range of basic building blocks with unique properties, making them ideal for heterogeneous integration with a mature chip platfo...

The population of early-onset Alzheimer’s disease (EOAD) accounts for 1%–2% of the total population of Alzheimer’s disease, and genetic mutations are more common in EOAD. The first symptom of the patient in the pre...

Background Hyperprolactinaemia is a common antipsychotic (AP)-induced adverse effect, particularly in female patients.Aims This meta-analysis examined the efficacy and safety of adjunctive aripiprazole in preventing AP-r...

Two-dimensional (2D) materials are being actively researched due to their exotic electronic and optical properties, including a layer-dependent bandgap, a strong exciton binding energy, and a direct optical access to ele...

Targeted drug delivery and real-time detection both play an important role for studying the specificity of a single cancer cell and the development of anticancer drugs. However, a method that simultaneously enables safe ...

Mirror-on-mirror nanoplasmonic metamaterials, formed on the basis of voltage-controlled reversible self-assembly of sub-wavelength-sized metallic nanoparticles (NPs) on thin metallic film electrodes, are promising candid...

Metasurfaces made from densely packed resonant wavelength-scale particles enable abrupt modulation of impinging electromagnetic radiation within an ultrathin surface. Combining duality symmetry of particles and rotationa...

Tailoring the fluorescence emission of quantum emitters to a desired direction is a crucial issue to achieve high efficient photodetection and realize unique optoelectronic devices. In this study, the directional emissio...

The mathematical concept of fractals is widely applied to photonics as planar structures ranging from terahertz resonators, optical antennas, to photodetectors. Here, instead of a direct mathematical abstract, we design ...

In recent years, sub-wavelength metamaterials-based light perfect absorbers have been the subject of many studies. The most frequently utilized absorber configuration is based on nanostructured plasmonic metals. However,...

Two-dimensional (2D) materials were widely used in sensing owing to the tunable physical or chemical properties. For years, optical sensing attracted a massive amount of attention on account of high accuracy, high securi...

The existence of topologically protected edge modes is often cited as a highly desirable trait of topological insulators. However, these edge states are not always present. A realistic physical treatment of long-range ho...

System change interventions, including staff training and policies for identification of smokers and provision of smoking cessation treatment and advice by clinicians or by specialists, had uncertain effects on abstinenc...

We propose a homogenization scheme for metamaterials that utilizes causality to determine their effective parameters. By requiring the Kramers-Kronig causality condition in the homogenization of metamaterials, we show th...

Phthalocyanines are frequently used as probing molecules in the field of single-molecule surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS). In this work, we systematically compare the ...

Background Despite the availability of evidence-based treatments for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), significant heterogeneity in the effectiveness of PTSD treatment persists, especially in community settings. Clie...

Background With the continuous improvement of people’s material living standards, the consumption of alcoholic beverages is increasing. Alcohol dependence caused by alcohol addiction has become a widespread concern in ...

Coherent quantum optics, where the phase of a photon is not scrambled as it interacts with an emitter, lies at the heart of many quantum optical effects and emerging technologies. Solid-state emitters coupled to nanophot...

Effective methods to generate colour centres in diamond and other wide band-gap materials are essential to the realisation of solid state quantum technologies based on such systems. Such methods have been the subject of ...
