A semiconductor bowtie nanoantenna acts as a high-quality cavity because a strongly enhanced field with a narrow spectral width appears at a nanogap region owing to exciton resonance. We theoretically investigate suitable antenna structures to obtain a strong field enhancement, and the following conditions are found: (i) the antenna structure is long in the direction of light polarization, and (ii) the tip structure near the nanogap is blunt. Condition (ii) is opposite to that for a metallic bowtie nanoantenna because the exciton wave function is distributed to avoid a narrow area near the sharp tip. These conditions are expected to be guidelines for designing efficient semiconductor nanoantennas for various applications.

RNA pesticides have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional chemical pesticides due to their high specificity and minimal environmental impact. However, the instability of RNA molecules in the environment and the challenges associated with their effective delivery to target pests limit their broader application. This study addresses these challenges by developing a dual delivery system using chitosan (CS) and Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) to enhance the delivery and efficacy of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and cycloxaprid against , a vector of citrus greening disease.

Ultrafine droplets are crucial in materials processing and nanotechnology, with applications in nanoparticle preparation, water evaporation, nanodrug delivery, nanocoating, among numerous others. While the potential of turbulent gas flow to enhance liquid breakup is acknowledged, constructing turbulence-driven atomizers for ultrafine droplets remains challenging. Herein, we report the innovation of grid-turbulence atomization (GTA), which employs a rotating mesh to deliver liquid and an air knife to spray ultrafine droplets.

With the rapid advancement of plant phenotyping research, understanding plant genetic information and growth trends has become crucial. Measuring seedling length is a key criterion for assessing seed viability, but traditional ruler-based methods are time-consuming and labor-intensive. To address these limitations, we propose an efficient deep learning approach to enhance plant seedling phenotyping analysis.
