We construct and generate symmetric accelerating caustic beams (ACBs) by using 3/2-order phase-only masks with elliptical contour based on optical caustics and diffraction theory. The symmetric ACBs are a type of bimodal accelerating caustic beam with two quasi-constant intensity peaks, very similar to the combination of two face-to-face Airy-like beams judging by appearance. Their fundamental optical morphology and force properties of particles in ACBs are subsequently provided. The unique optical properties of ACBs can be exploited for practical uses, such as accelerating electrons and clearing micrometer-sized particles as a laser micrometer-sized "water pump" instead of a laser micrometer-sized "snowblower" of accelerating Airy beams.

A generalized method is proposed for the manipulation of Bloch surface waves (BSWs) with multiple designed phases. This method is based on perfectly matched Bragg diffraction with a wide range of available diffraction angles and can be used beyond the paraxial limit to realize nonparaxial accelerating BSW beams. When combined with the caustic method, multiple accelerating beams with pre-engineered trajectories have been successfully generated, including power-law, circular, elliptic, and bottle beams.

Corneal alkali burn is a common and challenging ocular trauma, necessitating the use of dexamethasone (DXMS) as a therapeutic agent. However, prolonged and frequent administration of this drug can lead to undesirable side effects, limiting its clinical application. This study aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of action of exosomes as drug carriers in corneal alkali burn repair.

Titanium (Ti) and Ti alloys are of great interest in bone and dental tissue engineering applications due to their biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and close mechanical properties to natural bone. However, the formation of fibrous tissue prevents osteointegration and results in implant loosening. Thus, physical and chemical methods are used to improve the surface properties of Ti.

This study investigated cellobionate production from a lignocellulosic substrate using Neurospora crassa HL10. Utilizing NaOH-pretreated wheat straw as the substrate obviated the need for an exogenous redox mediator addition, as lignin contained in the pretreated wheat served as a natural mediator. The low laccase production by N.

Poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) is a biodegradable plastic that is difficult to degrade under both mesophilic and thermophilic anaerobic conditions. In this study, the impact of the thermo-alkaline pretreatment (48 h, 70 °C, 1 % w/v NaOH) on the anaerobic degradation (AD) of PBAT, poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and PBAT/PLA blended plastics was investigated. Under mesophilic conditions, pretreatment only improved the methane yield of PBAT/PLA/starch plastic (100 days, 51 and 34 NmL/g VS for the treated and original plastics, respectively).
