A deterministic design method and experimental demonstration of single photonic crystal nanocavity supporting both air and dielectric modes in the mid-infrared wavelength region are reported here. The coexistence of both modes is realized by a proper design of photonic dispersion to confine air and dielectric bands simultaneously. By adding central mirrors to make the resonance modes be confined at the bandgap edges, high experimental Q-factors of 2.32 × 10 and 1.59 × 10 are achieved at the resonance wavelength of about 3.875μm and 3.728μm for fundamental dielectric and air modes, respectively. Moreover, multiple sets of air and dielectric modes can be realized by introducing central aperiodic mirrors with multiple bandgaps. The realization of coexistence of air and dielectric modes in single nanocavity will offer opportunities for multifunctional devices, paving the way to integrated multi-parameter sensors, filters, nonlinear devices, and compact light sources.

Controlled breakdown has emerged as an effective method for fabricating solid-state nanopores in thin suspended dielectric membranes for various biomolecular sensing applications. On an unpatterned membrane, the site of nanopore formation by controlled breakdown is random. Nanopore formation on a specific site on the membrane has previously been realized using local thinning of the membrane by lithographic processes or laser-assisted photothermal etching under immersion in an aqueous salt solution.

In recent years, liquid-solid triboelectric nanogenerators (L-S TENGs) have been rapidly developed in the field of liquid energy harvesting and self-powered sensing. This is due to a number of advantages inherent in the technology, including the low cost of fabricated materials, structural diversity, high charge-energy conversion efficiency, environmental friendliness, and a wide range of applications. As liquid phase dielectric materials typically used in L-S TENG, a variety of organic and inorganic single-phase liquids, including distilled water, acidic solutions, sodium chloride solutions, acetone, dimethyl sulfoxide, and acetonitrile, as well as paraffinic oils, have been used in experiments.

The presence of PFAS in water matrices has become a global environmental issue in the last half-century. Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) and electrooxidation (EO) showed potential for PFAS degradation but have yet to find practical application due to relatively high energy consumption. In this study, a hybrid DBD-EO system for efficient degradation of PFAS was developed by involving more reactive oxygen, sulfate radicals (SO) and nitrogen species (RONS).

A stacked metamaterial MEMS (meta-MEMS) chip is proposed, which can perfectly absorb electromagnetic waves, convert them into mechanical energy, drive movement of the optical micro-reflectors array, and detect millimeter waves. It is equivalent to using visible light to image a millimeter wave. The meta-MEMS adopts the design of upper and lower chip separation and then stacking to achieve the "dielectric-resonant-air-ground" structure, reduce the thickness of the metamaterial and MEMS structures, and improve the performance of millimeter wave imaging.

Given extremely high porosity, aerogels have demonstrated remarkable advantages in serving as thermal insulation and wave-transparent materials. Unfortunately, their practical applications are greatly confined by their inherent fragility. The recent emergence of polymer aerogels presents an ideal platform for the development of flexible aerogel films.
