Multilayered van der Waals (vdW) materials are semiconductors composed of atomically thin crystal layers, held together by weak vdW forces. They offer unique crystal structures and electronic properties, distinct from conventional semiconductors, making them a promising platform for linear and nonlinear optics. In this context, the large refractive indexes given by highly polarizable transition metals, combined with excitonic resonances and unconventional crystalline structures, provides a toolbox for exploring non-linear physics and strong light-matter interactions with unprecedented opportunities for nanoscale optics.

The core advantage of metalenses over traditional bulky lenses lies in their thin volume and lightweight. Nevertheless, as the application scenarios of metalenses extend to the macro-scale optical imaging field, a contradiction arises between the increasing demand for large-aperture metalenses and the synchronous rise in design and processing costs. In response to the application requirements of metalens with diameter reaching the order of 10λ or even 10λ, this paper proposes a novel design method for fixed-height concentric-ring metalenses, wherein, under the constraints of the processing technology, a subwavelength 2D building unit library is constructed based on different topological structures, and the overall cross-section of the metalens is assembled.

Hydrogen peroxide (HO), as a strong oxidant, is crucial for the aerobic metabolism of organisms and is intricately linked to the onset of numerous diseases. Real-time monitor HO levels in the environment and biological microenvironment is of paramount importance for environment protection and elucidating HO-related physiological and pathological processes. In this study, a novel near-infrared fluorescence imaging platform was developed and a near-infrared fluorescent probe FBMH was constructed based on the platform with photoinduced electron transfer mechanism.

Total volatile base nitrogen (TVB-N) is an important indicator for evaluating the freshness of aquatic products and holds great significance in assessing food safety. Traditional testing methods for TVB-N content use the Kjeldahl method, which has shortcomings like lengthy processes, cumbersome steps, and sample destruction. This study innovatively couples the hyperspectral imaging (HSI) technique with an odor imaging sensor (OIS) to achieve non-destructive prediction of TVB-N content in the large yellow croaker.

Astrocytes, integral components of the central nervous system, are increasingly recognized for their multifaceted roles beyond support cells. Despite their acknowledged importance, understanding the intricacies of astrocyte morphological dynamics remains limited. Our study marks the first exploration of astrocytes using optical diffraction tomography (ODT), establishing a label-free, quantitative method to observe morphological changes in astrocytes over a 7-day in-vitro period.
