Background Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a chronic metabolic disorder with high comorbidity with mental disorders. The genetic links between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and T2D have yet to be elucidated.Ai...

Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had a profound and prolonged impact on healthcare services and healthcare workers.Aims The Australian COVID-19 Frontline Healthcare Workers Study aimed to i...

Relativity theory severely restricts the ability to perform nonlocal measurements in quantum mechanics. Studying such nonlocal schemes may thus reveal insights regarding the relations between these two fundamental theori...

The crystal form of semiconductor materials is keenly correlated with the photosensitivity of optoelectronic devices. Thus, understanding the crystal form-dependent photosensitivity mechanism is critical. In this work, t...

Owing to the potential to manipulate simultaneously amplitude and phase of electromagnetic wave, complex-amplitude holographic metasurfaces (CAHMs) can achieve improved image-reconstruction quality compared with amplitud...

A non-invasive method for the detection of glucose is sought by millions of diabetic patients to improve personal management of blood glucose over a lifetime. In this work, the synergistic advantage of combining plasmoni...

We demonstrate a simple, femtosecond-scale wavelength tunable, subwavelength-thick nanostructure that performs efficient wavelength conversion from the infrared to the ultraviolet. The output wavelength can be tuned by v...

In recent years, the computational demands of deep learning applications have necessitated the introduction of energy-efficient hardware accelerators. Optical neural networks are a promising option; however, thus far the...

An electric field propagating along a non-planar path can acquire geometric phases. Previously, geometric phases have been linked to spin redirection and independently to spatial mode transformation, resulting in the rot...

Background The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has given rise to fear and panic in the public. Although hospitals in China reduced outpatient visits and restricted inpatient admission to lower the risk...

Due to lower out-of-plane electrical conductance, black phosphorus (BP) provides a suitable host material for improving the sensitivity of biosensors. However, BP oxidizes easily, which limits practical applications. In ...

Future technologies aim to radically increase photonic integration, which can be achieved either by structuring the materials or by cleverly manipulating photonic resonances. The latter method involves several tunable re...

Metalens has shown its significantly ultra-light and ultra-thin features. However, large-aperture achromatic metalens is constrained by both maximum dispersion range and computational memory. Here, we propose a fully dev...
