We theoretically predicted the existence of an anomalous optical transmittance dip, which must be observed for a metamaterial structure with two metallic slabs with cut-through slit arrays of a constant period d under a normal incident condition. By changing the relative lateral displacement l between the two slabs, the dip frequency varies across that of a so-called Rayleigh-Wood's (RW) anomaly frequency. The mechanism of this anomaly is quite different from that of the RW anomaly and interpreted in terms of the interference between the propagating and evanescent waves. For the present double-layered system, furthermore, it is suggested that the RW anomaly vanishes for l = 0 and d/2. In experiments in the terahertz region, we observe that the fundamental features agree with these theoretical predictions.

Traditional sensors struggle in complex human environments, particularly with humidity and strain detection requiring high sensitivity and robust anti-interference. This work introduces a flexible, miniaturized, low-cost dual-mode sensor that combines a novel resonator structure with a chemically modified conducting polymer, enabling simultaneous strain and humidity detection alongside high anti-interference performance sensitivity and wireless transmission.

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have attracted significant attention in recent years due to its environment friendly characteristics and its participation in the multi-heteroatom doping of carbon quantum dots (CQDs). In this work, we present a simple, fast, and environment-friendly microwave synthesis approach for the synthesis of DES-assisted nitrogen and chloride co-doped CQDs (N,Cl-CQDs) using a choline chloride-urea based DES.

Soft electronics, known for their bendable, stretchable, and flexible properties, are revolutionizing fields such as biomedical sensing, consumer electronics, and robotics. A primary challenge in this domain is achieving low power consumption, often hampered by the limitations of the conventional von Neumann architecture. In response, the development of soft artificial synapses (SASs) has gained substantial attention.

Solar energy sources have garnered significant attention as a renewable energy option. Despite this, the practical power conversion efficiency (PCE) of widely used silicon-based solar cells remains low due to inefficient light utilization. In this study, carbon dots (APCDs) were prepared a hydrothermal method using ammonium polyphosphate and -phenylenediamine, then incorporated into a silicone-acrylic emulsion (CAS) to create a luminescent down-shifting (LDS) layer for solar cells.

Scientific-grade spectrometers with high hyperspectral resolution and high spectral accuracy are desirable in miniaturized optical systems to maintain stable and real-time spectral sampling. Fourier transform spectrometers that utilize high-precision moving mirrors generally struggle to enhance their miniaturization and stable real-time performance. A static infrared spectral measurement method is proposed that uses micro/nano-optical devices as the core of static interference and lightweight imaging.
