A quantum polarized light microscope using entangled NOON states with N=2 and N=3 is shown to provide phase supersensitivity beyond the standard quantum limit. We constructed such a microscope and imaged birefringent objects at a very low light level of 50 photons per pixel, where shot noise seriously hampers classical imaging. The NOON light source is formed by combining a coherent state with parametric down-converted light. We were able to show improved phase images with sensitivity close to the Heisenberg limit.

The associations between the energy and timing of sugar-sweetened beverage intake and phenotypic age acceleration in U.S. adults: a cross-sectional survey of NHANES 2007-2010.
BMC Public Health
January 2025
Department of Clinical Nutrition, Nanjing Gaochun People's Hospital (The Gaochun Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University), Nanjing, Jiangsu, 211300, China.
Objectives: The relationship between sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intake and phenotypic age acceleration (PhenoAgeAccel) is unclear. The aim of this study was to explore the associations between the energy and timing of SSB intake and PhenoAgeAccel in adults.
Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007-2010, which involved U.
The Role of Timing and Amount of Outdoor Play in Emotional Dysregulation in Preschool Children.
Child Care Health Dev
January 2025
Department of Psychology, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania, USA.
Background: Currently, the time children spend playing outdoors is at an all-time low. However, the existing literature suggests that outdoor play may have cognitive and emotional benefits for children.
Methods: The present study carried out a mediation analysis to explore whether amount and timing of outdoor play affects children's emotion regulation and whether working memory mediates these relations among 325 preschool children (M = 4.
Aqueous double-layer paint of low thickness for sub-ambient radiative cooling.
Nanophotonics
March 2024
The Department of Mechanical and Aersopace Engineering, Foshan Research Institute for Smart Manufacturing, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Clear Water Bay, Kowloon, Hong Kong, China.
Article Synopsis
- Radiative cooling is an innovative way to lower energy use for cooling spaces, with eco-friendly aqueous paints providing a promising solution.
- Current cooling paints struggle with environmental concerns due to harmful solvents and require thick layers for effectiveness, leading to high costs.
- The new YO-ZnO paints utilize a double-layer design, achieving impressive reflectance and emissivity while being thinner, more sustainable, and effective in real-world testing in humid climates.
Disruption of the C5a/C5aR1 axis confers protection against hookworm infection in lung.
Front Immunol

Pulmonary Center, Department of Medicine, Boston University Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine, Boston, MA, United States.
Article Synopsis
- * The study focused on the role of the complement anaphylatoxin C5a in hookworm infection during the early lung stage, revealing that C5aR1 mice had a reduced burden of hookworms and less lung damage compared to regular mice.
- * Results showed that C5aR1 signaling in neutrophils plays a complex role in response to hookworm infections, highlighting an unexpected downside of complement activation in fighting parasites.
Interferometric LiDAR is a device that is used to achieve distance, velocity and phase estimation with high precision and resolution through the use of frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW). In this instance, we study quantum enhancement detection techniques for a Mach-Zender interferometer with a FMCW coherent state input. Various quantum detection methods-including NOON state detection, coincidence detection, and sum of parity detection-are applied to the FMCW coherent state and compared against the classical heterodyne detection technique.
