An autonomous method for calibrating the reference flat surface of an interferometer is proposed with the uncertainty analysis. The method consists of three phases; the first step is multiple rotating shifts of a specimen, the second is a linear shift, and the last is multiple rotating shifts again. The profile of the reference flat surface is basically determined by the linear shift. The linear shift errors that occurred during the linear shift are identified by the rotating shifts. The rotating shift errors caused by the rotating shifts can be compensated and the residual uncertainty can be reduced in proportion to the square root of the number of rotating shifts per one revolution. Finally, the uncertainty analysis is carried out in detail.

High-resolution phase-contrast 3D imaging using nano-holotomography typically requires collecting multiple tomograms at varying sample-to-detector distances, usually 3 to 4. This multi-distance approach limits temporal resolution, making it impractical for studies. Moreover, shifting the sample complicates reconstruction, requiring precise alignment, registration, and interpolation to correct for shift-dependent magnification on the detector.

We introduce a novel, to the best of our knowledge, method to achieve a highly efficient nonreciprocal magnon laser within a spinning cavity optomagnonic system, which integrates a magnon mode and two optical modes. The rotation of the YIG sphere triggers the Barnett effect in the magnon mode and the Sagnac effect in the optical modes. The directional input of a pump light leads to opposite Sagnac-Fizeau frequency shifts in these modes.

Introduction: SRS for the treatment of limited brain metastases (BM) is widely accepted, but there are still limitations in the management of numerous BM. Frameless single-isocenter multitarget SRS is a novel technique that allows for rapid treatment delivery to multiple BM. We report our preliminary clinical, dosimetric, and patient´s shifts outcomes with this technique.

A metamaterial absorber capable of swiftly altering its electromagnetic response in the microwave range offers adaptability to changing environments, such as tunable stealth capabilities. Inspired by the chameleon's ability to change color through the structural transformation of photonic lattice crystals, which shift the bandgaps of reflection and transmission of visible light, we designed a crisscross structure that transforms from an expanded to a collapsed form. This transformation enables a switch between broadband absorption and peak transmission in the microwave range (4 to 18 gigahertz).

Introduction: As a result of increased incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in young athletes, there is a rise in the indications surgical ACL reconstruction procedures. The value of anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction emerges as a proposed solution to prevent graft failures and improve stability in this high demanding category of patients. The purpose of this study is to present our experience with a novel hamstring auto-grafting technique, the single antegrade sling graft (SASG), for combined reconstruction of both ACL and ALL using autologous gracilis (GR) and semitendinosus (ST) grafts utilizing a single femoral tunnel and double tibial tunnels.
