We have demonstrated that the strong and far-field focusing of a point source and a plane wave in a two-dimensional photonic-crystal-based concave lens by the use of the standard finite-difference time-domain simulations. The effect of the distance between the point source and the lens on the focusing is discussed. The far-field focus of a plane wave is shown. In addition, a plane wave is formed with placing the source at the focus point. According to the calculation, the strong and good quality far-field focusing of the transmitted wave, explicitly following the well-known wave beam negative refraction law, can be realized. Moreover, the spatial frequencies information of the Bloch mode in multiple Brillouin zones is investigated in order to indicate the wave propagation in two different regions.

Interstitial cells of Cajal in the plane of the myenteric plexus (ICC-MY) serve as electrical pacemakers in the stomach and small intestine. A similar population of cells is found in the colon, but these cells do not appear to generate regular slow wave potentials, as characteristic in more proximal gut regions. Ca handling mechanisms in ICC-MY of the mouse proximal colon were studied using confocal imaging of muscles from animals expressing GCaMP6f exclusively in ICC.

Manipulating elastic waves in lower-dimensional mechanical metamaterials has attracted much attention since it lays the foundation for the design of various elastic functional devices, especially for on-chip size. However, due to the experimental challenges, it is very difficult to control elastic waves in higher dimensions. In this Letter, we introduce an extra structural parameter to synthesize and investigate the on-chip Weyl physics in silicon-on-insulator system.

Quantum magnetic materials can provide explicit realizations of paradigm models in quantum many-body physics. In this context, SrCu_{2}(BO_{3})_{2} is a faithful realization of the Shastry-Sutherland model for ideally frustrated spin dimers, even displaying several of its quantum magnetic phases as a function of pressure. We perform inelastic neutron scattering measurements on SrCu_{2}(BO_{3})_{2} at 5.

A multipurpose antenna system that can handle a broad area of frequencies is crucial in the effort to build up widespread 5G Internet-of-Things (IoT) networks. For fifth-generation Internet-of-things applications, this research introduces a new multi-band antenna that can operate in the sub-6 GHz band (2-7 GHz), Ku-band (13-17.5 GHz), and millimeter wave band (25-39 GHz).

Unconventional superconductivity, where electron pairing does not involve electron-phonon interactions, is often attributed to magnetic correlations in a material. Well known examples include high-T cuprates and uranium-based heavy fermion superconductors. Less explored are unconventional superconductors with strong spin-orbit coupling, where interactions between spin-polarised electrons and external magnetic field can result in multiple superconducting phases and field-induced transitions between them, a rare phenomenon in the superconducting state.
