We study the geometry dependence of the Casimir energy for deformed metal plates by a path integral quantization of the electromagnetic field. For the first time, we give a complete analytical result for the deformation induced change in Casimir energy delta E in an experimentally testable, nontrivial geometry, consisting of a flat and a corrugated plate. Our results show an interesting crossover for delta E as a function of the ratio of the mean plate distance H, to the corrugation length lambda: For lambda<

Helicopter Turboshaft Engines' Neural Network System for Monitoring Sensor Failures.
Sensors (Basel)

Information Systems and Networks Department, Lviv Polytechnic National University, 12, Bandera Street, 79013 Lviv, Ukraine.
An effective neural network system for monitoring sensors in helicopter turboshaft engines has been developed based on a hybrid architecture combining LSTM and GRU. This system enables sequential data processing while ensuring high accuracy in anomaly detection. Using recurrent layers (LSTM/GRU) is critical for dependencies among data time series analysis and identification, facilitating key information retention from previous states.

Article Synopsis
- - Critical Casimir forces act on particles in a near-critical fluid, allowing researchers to manipulate particle behavior based on surface properties and small temperature changes.
- - The study explores how these forces can trap colloidal particles by using specially designed substrates with contrasting surface properties, enabling different levitation effects like sedimentation and point levitation.
- - By analyzing various parameters, the research indicates that while the conditions for point levitation become limited when moved away from critical points, the trapping force increases, highlighting potential applications in sorting colloids by size and measuring thermodynamic properties.
Casimir interaction driven by hyperbolic polaritons.

School of Power and Energy, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi'an 710072, Shaanxi, P.R. China.
Casimir interaction is an intriguing phenomenon that is induced by electromagnetic quantum fluctuations, which dominates the interaction between microstructures at small separations and is essential for micro- and nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS and NEMS). However, Casimir interaction driven by hyperbolic polaritons remains an unexplored frontier. In this work, we investigate the Casimir interaction between natural hyperbolic material hexagonal boron nitride from the perspective of force distribution with different optical axis orientations for the first time.

Article Synopsis
- Camptothecin (CPT) is a potent anticancer drug, but its usage is limited due to its low solubility and unstable active form.
- The research developed innovative nanoparticulate systems using a poly(amidoamine) dendrimer/CPT complex, coated with biodegradable polymers for oral or intravenous delivery.
- The resulting nanomaterials showed good hemocompatibility, controlled drug release, and stabilization of CPT in physiological conditions, making them a promising solution for safe and effective cancer treatment.
Condensation of Exciton-Polaritons in a Bound State in the Continuum: Effects of the Excitation Spot Size and Polariton Transport.

We report the formation of polariton condensates from strongly coupled molecules to bound states in the continuum with quadrupolar character in a metasurface of silicon nanoparticles. Our experiments demonstrate a strong dependence of the condensation threshold on the excitation spot size. The condensation threshold decreases as the excitation spot size increases, achieving thresholds below 3 μm cm for spot sizes of around 1 mm and condensate lifetimes exceeding 20 ps.
