We investigated surface dark solitons (SDSs) at the interface between a self-defocusing nonlocal nonlinear medium and a linear medium, both theoretically and experimentally. We demonstrate that fundamental and higher-order SDSs can exist when the linear refractive index of the self-defocusing medium is much greater than that of the linear medium. The fundamental and second-order solitons are observed at the interface between air and a weakly absorbing liquid.

Late diagnosis is one of the major obstacles for the treatment of breast cancer which can be overcome with a system offering sensitive imaging and selective therapeutic effect. In this study, we developed a "dark-bright" multifunctional drug delivery system bringing real-time imaging and non-invasive therapy together. Theranostic ability of the system was delivered by Verteporfin (VP), serving as a fluorescence probe and a photosensitizer.

An innovative approach to ticks and insect pests management is necessary to mitigate the challenges posed by the indiscriminate use of chemical pesticides, which can lead to resistance development and environmental pollution. Despite their great potential, biological control agents have significant manufacturing, application, and stability limitations. Currently, using phytochemicals, biosynthesized nanoparticles, and bioagents to get rid of arthropods might be a good alternative that would make farmers less worried about residues and resistance.

Insect fungal pathogens such as Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium robertsii, and Tolypocladium inflatum have been used as insect biocontrol agents. Their infection mechanism involves non-specific adhesion to the host cuticle, which is controlled by hydrophobins, small proteins that form an amphipathic monolayer with rodlet morphology on diverse fungal structures. Light is an abiotic factor that may influence a wide range of cellular processes, including conidiogenesis, stress tolerance, and metabolite biosynthesis.
