Using a concentric macro electrode, both the concentric and macro action potentials of a motor unit were analyzed for duration, area, and amplitude. Eighty-six different motor units were analyzed from the tibialis anterior muscle in 10 normal subjects. The aim of this work was to compare concentric and macro action potential measurements of the same motor unit. The study revealed significant correlations between concentric and macro samples, with the concentric potential's area correlating better with the macro potential than its amplitude. This shows that the 10 to 15 muscle fibers studied by the concentric electrode serve as a good sample of the motor unit as a whole. We briefly review the technique used in concentric macro EMG, as well as describe the methods used for collecting and comparing both concentric and macro action potentials.

The core advantage of metalenses over traditional bulky lenses lies in their thin volume and lightweight. Nevertheless, as the application scenarios of metalenses extend to the macro-scale optical imaging field, a contradiction arises between the increasing demand for large-aperture metalenses and the synchronous rise in design and processing costs. In response to the application requirements of metalens with diameter reaching the order of 10λ or even 10λ, this paper proposes a novel design method for fixed-height concentric-ring metalenses, wherein, under the constraints of the processing technology, a subwavelength 2D building unit library is constructed based on different topological structures, and the overall cross-section of the metalens is assembled.

Although separation is entropically unfavourable, it is often essential for our life. The separation of very similar macromolecules such as deoxyribonucleic acids (DNAs) and their single nucleotide variants is difficult but holds great advantage for the progress of life science. Here we report that a particular liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) at a solid-liquid interface led to the partitioning of DNAs with nearly identical structures.

Article Synopsis
- - The study introduces a simple method for creating hybrid organic-inorganic nanostructures using block copolymer-based photonic microspheres that integrate gold nanoparticles.
- - The process utilizes confined self-assembly within emulsion droplets to form "onion-like" spherical structures that can effectively incorporate metal ions via a preferential solvent (ethanol).
- - The final product showcases well-defined optical properties, including a photonic bandgap and plasmonic resonance, proving the effectiveness of this easy two-step fabrication technique for advanced materials.

Detection of the epileptogenic zone is critical, especially for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. Accurately mapping cortical regions exhibiting high activity during spontaneous seizure events while detecting neural activity up to 500 Hz can assist clinicians' surgical decisions and improve patient outcomes.We designed, fabricated, and tested a novel hybrid, multi-scale micro-electrocorticography (micro-ECoG) array with a unique embedded configuration.
