AI Article Synopsis
- The study explores magnetic multilayer metamaterials that have a broken symmetry, specifically focusing on iron-gold (Fe-Au) multilayers designed using a Fibonacci sequence pattern.
- These layers, known as magnetic inverse Fibonacci-modulated multilayers (IFMs), are created through an ultra-high-vacuum vapor deposition process.
- Experimental findings indicate that Fe-Au IFMs exhibit quasi-isotropic magnetization properties, differing from the standard in-plane magnetization seen in regular periodic multilayers.
Article Abstract
Herein we experimentally study magnetic multilayer metamaterials with broken translational symmetry. Epitaxially-grown iron-gold (Fe-Au) multilayers modulated using Fibonacci sequence-referred to as magnetic inverse Fibonacci-modulated multilayers (IFMs)-are prepared using ultra-high-vacuum vapor deposition. Experimental results of in-situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction, magnetization curves, and ferromagnetic resonance demonstrate that the epitaxially-grown Fe-Au IFMs have quasi-isotropic magnetization, in contrast to the in-plane magnetization easy axis in the periodic multilayers.

Fruits and vegetables account for around a third of all food loss and waste. Post-harvest, retail and consumer losses and waste could be reduced with better ripeness assessment methods. Here we develop a sub-terahertz metamaterial sticker (called Meta-Sticker) that can be attached to a fruit to provide insights into the edible mesocarp's ripeness without cutting into the produce.

This study explores the impact of metallic shells by electroforming method on the mechanical behavior of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)-based lattice structures. First, the TPU lattice structures were printed by additive manufacturing technique. Then layers of Ni and Cu as a thin shell were dressed on the TPU lattice structures in the electroforming baths of Ni and Cu solutions.

Broadband metamaterial absorbers in the long wavelength infrared region are promising in applications including thermal imaging, cloaking, radiative cooling and IR signature suppression. Although high absorption over the long wavelength infrared region has been extensively achieved, the challenge is to shrink both the thickness and lateral footprint of unit absorbing structures. Here, a compact broadband long wavelength infrared metamaterial absorber consisting of multilayered Ge/Ti/Ge/SiO hybrid cylindrical structures, whose period and thickness are only ∼1.

The angular optical trap (AOT) is a powerful technique for measuring the DNA topology and rotational mechanics of fundamental biological processes. Realizing the full potential of the AOT requires rapid torsional control of these processes. However, existing AOT quartz cylinders are limited in their ability to meet the high rotation rate requirement while minimizing laser-induced photodamage.

Article Synopsis
- Nonreciprocal thermal radiation can differ in emissivity at specific angles, challenging traditional Kirchhoff's law, and creating opportunities for thermal emitters that don’t rely on magnetic fields.
- The proposed mid-infrared thermal emitter operates between 12 μm to 20 μm with a wide angular range of 16° to 88°, utilizing a multilayered structure of Weyl semimetals and dielectrics.
- This innovation optimizes emissivity across various angles and wavelengths, indicating potential applications in areas like radiative cooling, medical sensing, and energy conversion.
