Acoustic cloaking for the suppression of backscattering inside ducts is proposed in the audible range where plane waves are curved around the object using the surface modes of the liner. It is numerically shown that a slowly varying resonant liner (e.g. based on an array of tubes) creates a zone of silence in which an object of arbitrary shape can be acoustically hidden for a wide range of frequencies. And then, a resonant liner has deflecting properties without reflection of the wavefront, which are close to an ideal invisibility cloak. This kind of cloaking is effective in a wide frequency band and the cloaking band is a function of the impedance and height of the obstacle relative to the conduit. For smooth shaped obstacles, there is an ability of the object to help hide itself, which increases the cloaking frequency band (self-cloaking). Dispersion effects lead to slow sounds and distortion of the wave phase.

Food freshness monitoring and volatile amine detection are key to food safety. In this study, we demonstrated the applicability of mixed-valence rhenium oxide quantum dots (MV-ReOQDs), synthesized via the hydrothermal reaction of α-cyclodextrin and rhenium ion precursors, in triethylamine (TEA) sensing. Spectroscopic correlation techniques showed that the developed MV-ReOQDs possessed mixed-valent rhenium, α-cyclodextrin as capped ligand, partially carbonized surface, and amorphous phase structure.

Background: Gait feature recognition is crucial to improve the efficiency and coordination of exoskeleton assistance. The recognition methods based on surface electromyographic (sEMG) signals are popular. However, the recognition accuracy of these methods is poor due to ignoring the correlation of the time series of sEMG signals.

The ever-growing interest in MXenes has been driven by their distinct electrical, thermal, mechanical, and optical properties. In this context, further revealing their physicochemical attributes remains the key frontier of MXene materials. Herein, we report the anisotropic localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) features in TiCT MXene as well as site-selective photocatalysis enabled by the photophysical anisotropy.

Topological plasmonics combines principles of topology and plasmonics to provide new methods for controlling light, analogous to topological edge states in photonics. However, designing such topological states remains challenging due to the complexity of the high-dimensional design space. We present a novel method that uses supervised, physics-informed deep learning and surrogate modeling to design topological devices for desired wavelengths.
