Broadband and omnidirectional absorption of electromagnetic waves is required in various technologies, such as stealth, high quality wireless communications, spacecraft shielding. In this study, we theoretically and numerically study a graphene-based absorber achieving broadband and omnidirectional absorption from 4 GHz to 100 GHz and 0 to 50 ∼70 , with over 90% absorption efficiency. By applying a thin layer of graphene upon a SiO moth-eye structure, we show that electromagnetic waves can be effectively absorbed in the graphene layer and that the structure is optically transparent, ideal for civilian and military applications.

Real-time visualisation of chick embryo development occurring inside an opaque eggshell is a major goal of developmental biology. This goal was partially achieved when 3-day-old embryos recovered from fertilised shelled eggs, preincubated in a conventional incubator, hatched after the egg contents had been transferred into shell-less embryo culture systems constructed of transparent plastic film placed in a plastic cup. However, the hatchable shell-less embryo culture systems described thus far cannot be used to visualise the dynamic morphological changes associated with the emergence of major organ systems during the first 3 days of embryo development, as the blastoderm area needs to be covered with an opaque membrane.

In the Fourth Industrial Revolution, as the connection between objects and people becomes increasingly important, interest in wearable optoelectronic device-based medical diagnosis is on the rise. Pulse oximetry sensors based on a fiber platform, which is the smallest unit of clothing, could be considered an attractive candidate for this application. In this study, red and green quantum-dot light-emitting fibers (QDLEFs) based on a 250 μm-diameter 1-dimensional fiber were successfully implemented, achieving high current efficiencies of approximately 22.

Traditional multilayer antireflection (AR) surfaces are of significant importance for numerous applications, such as laser optics, camera lenses, and eyeglasses. Recently, technological advances in the fabrication of biomimetic AR surfaces capable of delivering broadband omnidirectional high transparency combined with self-cleaning properties have opened an alternative route toward realization of multifunctional surfaces which would be beneficial for touchscreen displays or solar harvesting devices. However, achieving the desired surface properties often requires sophisticated lithography fabrication methods consisting of multiple steps.

Photothermal materials generally suffer from challenges such as low photothermal conversion efficiency and inefficient full-spectrum utilization of solar energy. This paper proposes gradient refractive index transparent ceramics (GRITCs) integrated with subwavelength nanostructure arrays and simulates the synergistic anti-reflection effect by an admittance recursive model. An innovative subwavelength structure, possessing a superior light-trapping capability, is initially crafted based on this model.
