This feature issue of Applied Optics is dedicated to the fourteenth Topical Meeting on Optical Interference Coatings held 2-7 June 2019, in Santa Ana Pueblo, New Mexico, USA. The conference, taking place every three years, is a focal point for global technical interchange in the field of optical interference coatings and provides premier opportunities for people working in the field to present their new advances in research and development. Papers presented at the meeting covered a broad range of topics ranging from fundamental research on coating design theory, new materials, and deposition and characterization technologies, to the vast and growing number of applications in electronic displays, communication, optical instruments, consumer electronics, high power and ultra-fast lasers, solar cells, space missions, gravitational wave detection, and many others.

Skyrmions can form regular arrangements, so-called skyrmion crystals (SkXs). A mode with multiple wavevectors q then describes the arrangement. While magnetic SkXs, which can emerge in the presence of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, are well established, polar skyrmion lattices are still elusive.

Purpose: Pterygium is a common ocular surface disease characterized by a high recurrence rate and unknown etiology.

Methods: In this study, we investigated the upregulation of matrix metalloproteinase genes, including MMP1, MMP2, MMP3, MMP7, MMP9, MMP11, MMP12, MMP13, MMP23B, and MMP28, in pterygium tissue using RNA sequencing, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry.

Results: Employing the MEME tool, we identified a conserved DNA motif within the promoter regions of these matrix metalloproteinase genes.

Gold-Modified Covalent Organic Frameworks-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry for Analysis of Metabolites Induced by Triclosan Exposure.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

January 2025

Ministry of Education Key Laboratory of Analytical Science for Food Safety and Biology, Fujian Provincial Key Laboratory of Analysis and Detection Technology for Food Safety, College of Chemistry, Fuzhou University, Fuzhou, Fujian 350108, China.

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry (MS) holds great promise for the rapid and sensitive detection of biomolecules, but its precise detection of small molecule metabolites is hindered by severe background interference from the organic matrix in the low molecular weight range. To address this issue, nanomaterials have commonly been utilized as substrates in LDI-MS. Among them, covalent organic frameworks (COFs), known for their unique optical absorption and structural properties, have garnered significant attention.

Single-Injection Composite Tracer Achieves Intraoperative Dual-Tracing and Precise Localization of Sentinel Lymph Nodes.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

January 2025

Sixth People's Hospital, School of Medicine & School of Biomedical Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200030, P. R. China.

The use of dual-tracer contrast agents in clinical applications, such as sentinel lymph node (SLN) identification, offers significant advantages including enhanced accuracy, sensitivity, as well as comprehensive and multimodal visualization. In the current clinical practice, SLNs are typically marked prior to surgical resection by multiple and sequential injections of two tracers, the radioactive tracer and methylene blue (MB) dye. This imposes physical and psychological burden on patients and medical staff.
