The FAST-Net (Free-space Accelerator for Switching Terabit Networks) concept uses an array of wide-field-of-view imaging lenses to realize a high-density shuffle interconnect pattern across an array of smart-pixel integrated circuits. To simplify the optics we evaluated the efficiency gained in replacing spherical surfaces with aspherical surfaces by exploiting the large disparity between narrow vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) beams and the wide field of view of the imaging optics. We then analyzed trade-offs between lens complexity and chip real estate utilization and determined that there exists an optimal numerical aperture for VCSELs that maximizes their area density. The results provide a general framework for the design of wide-field-of-view free-space interconnection systems that incorporate high-density VCSEL arrays.

Towards responsible resource utilization: A review of sustainable vs. unsustainable reuse of wood waste.
PLoS One

Abundant wood waste is generated globally, but the literature lacks a framework distinguishing sustainable versus unsustainable reuse practices. This gap hinders policy makers and stakeholders from effectively supporting responsible resource utilization. As such, this scoping review aimed to address this gap by evaluating wood waste reuse practices through ecological, financial, and social sustainability lenses.

Breast cancer remains the most prevalent cancer worldwide, necessitating advancements in its management. Surgery remains the recommended primary treatment although neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatments, such as chemotherapy, may also be indicated. However, such medications confer a risk of toxicity, often resulting in dose reductions and hospitalisations.

The present study investigated children's understanding that an object's history may increase its significance, an appreciation that underpins the concept of historical authenticity (i.e., the idea that an item's history determines its true identity, beyond its functional or material qualities, leading people to value real items over copies or fakes).

Article Synopsis
- Microbial keratitis from contact lens use is a serious issue, with traditional antibiotic treatments facing challenges due to the rise of drug-resistant bacteria.
- Antibiotic-free antimicrobial contact lenses (AFAMCLs) show promise and effectiveness against these microorganisms, but their biocompatibility and comfort for wearers are still not well understood.
- This review examines recent advancements in AFAMCLs, focusing on balancing antimicrobial efficacy, safety, and wearer comfort to enhance their development and potentially improve other medical devices as well.
Consolidating multiple evolutionary theories of ageing suggests a need for new approaches to study genetic contributions to ageing decline.
Ageing Res Rev

Understanding mechanisms of ageing remains a complex challenge for biogerontologists, but recent adaptations of evolutionary ageing theories offer a compelling lens in which to view both age-related molecular and physiological deterioration. Ageing is commonly associated with progressive declines in biochemical and molecular processes resulting from damage accumulation, yet the role of continued developmental gene activation is less appreciated. Natural selection pressures are at their highest in youthful periods to modify gene expression towards maximising reproductive capacity.
