The formation of photonic jets produced by dielectric micro cuboids is reported. The spatial electromagnetic field has been numerically analyzed on the basis of the finite-difference time-domain calculation. The characteristics of photonic jets, such as propagation length and location, can be drastically changed by controlling the cuboid dimensions. Visually three morphological types of photonic jets are introduced for classification. Combining key parameters of photonic jets, the quality criterion is used to describe the jet quality. The super resolution imaging of the dielectric micro cuboid can be expected from the long focal length and small beam waist. The simulation results show that it can be of interest for several potential applications, such as subdiffraction resolution optical microlenses, ultradirectional optical antennae, and nanolithography based on the micro cuboid.

Resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) is an ideal X-ray spectroscopy method to push the combination of energy and time resolutions to the Fourier transform ultimate limit, because it is unaffected by the core-hole lifetime energy broadening. Also, in pump-probe experiments the interaction time is made very short by the same core-hole lifetime. RIXS is very photon hungry so it takes great advantage from high-repetition-rate pulsed X-ray sources like the European XFEL.

In the field of cattle medicine in Austria, to date, few studies have investigated the presence of methicillin-resistant and extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing in Austria. For this reason, milk and nasal samples were examined for the presence of methicillin-resistant as well as fecal samples for extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant . The nasal and fecal swabs were collected during the veterinary treatment of calf pneumonia and calf diarrhea.

Article Synopsis
- This letter proposes a new method for identifying confining dark sectors at the LHC through the detection of semi-visible jets resulting from collisions involving dark quarks from a hidden sector.
- It explains how these semi-visible jets can produce non-isolated photons and stable/unstable dark bound states, which may not align with current search strategies at the LHC.
- The authors suggest using a deep neural network to differentiate these exotic jets from background noise by analyzing their unique substructure, allowing for potential discoveries of heavy bosons with masses up to 5 TeV using data from the LHC's Run 2.

Slippery lubricant infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) have the potential to address daunting challenges such as undesirable surface fouling/biofouling, icing, etc. However, the depletion of lubricants hampers their practical utility. As a solution, here a rational strategy is introduced that operates synergistically in three parts.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the UV-induced photo-relaxation dynamics of 5-bromouracil (BrU) and 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrUrd) using advanced femtosecond time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy.
- Upon UV excitation, both molecules quickly relax to lower electronic states before returning to the ground state, with an intermediate πσ* state identified in the process.
- Unlike thymine, the study observes that neither the nπ* state nor a long-lived triplet state forms, with solvent effects limiting the dissociation yield in the solutions tested.
