Unlike the Metelli monochrome transparencies, when overlays and their backgrounds have chromatic content, the inferred surface colors may not always be physically realizable, and are in some sense "imaginary." In these cases, the inferred chromatic transmittance or reflectance of the overlay lies outside the RGB spectral boundaries. Using the classical Metelli configuration, we demonstrate this illusion and briefly explore some of its attributes. Some observer differences in perceiving transparencies are also highlighted. These results show that the perception of transparency is much more complex than conventionally envisioned.

There is a disconnect between data practices in biomedicine and public understanding of those data practices, and this disconnect is expanding rapidly every day (with the emergence of synthetic data and digital twins and more widely adopted Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning tools). Transparency alone is insufficient to bridge this gap. Concurrently, there is an increasingly complex landscape of laws, regulations, and institutional/ programmatic policies to navigate when engaged in biocomputing and digital health research, which makes it increasingly difficult for those wanting to "get it right" or "do the right thing.

It is not currently possible for an infrared camera to see through a hot window. The window's own blinding thermal emission prevents objects on the other side from being imaged. Here, we demonstrate a path to overcoming this challenge by coating a hot window with an asymmetrically emitting infrared metasurface whose specially engineered imaginary index of refraction produces an asymmetric spatial distribution of absorption losses in its constituent nanoscale resonators.

High-frequency electronic response governs a broad spectrum of electromagnetic applications from radiation protection, and signal compatibility, to energy recovery. Despite various efforts to manage electric conductivity, dynamic control over dielectric polarization for real-time electromagnetic modulation remains a notable challenge. Herein, an electrochemical lithiation-driven hierarchical disordering strategy is demonstrated for actively modulating electromagnetic properties.

The use of animals as scientific models is argued to be crucial for producing new scientific and medical knowledge and clinical treatments. However, animal research continues to raise socio-ethical concerns. In recent years, there has been a push for openness amongst the life science community, with the aim of increasing the transparency of animal research to wider publics.

- The text discusses a new method to analyze how electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) and Autler-Townes splitting (ATS) affect laser spectroscopy in a four-level microwave-dressed Rydberg system.
- It highlights that when a microwave field is introduced and its intensity adjusted, the behavior of transparency windows changes, with EIT being dominant when the microwave field is off and transitioning to ATS as it is increased.
- This four-level approach offers deeper insights into quantum interference in atomic systems, with implications for improved sensitivity and applications in quantum processing and communication.
