AI Article Synopsis

  • Scattering processes generally depend on incident wave characteristics and interference from wave-matter interactions.
  • However, in systems that are periodically modulated and approach an exceptional point, scattering becomes less sensitive to these properties when the dwell time is above a critical threshold.
  • This resilience can be used in control engineering, particularly in managing thermal and quantum fluctuations.

Article Abstract

Scattering processes are typically sensitive to the incident wave properties and to interference effects generated via wave-matter interactions with the target. We challenge this general belief in the case of targets that undergo time-periodic modulations encircling quasiadiabatically an exceptional point in a given parameter space. When the scattering dwell time is above a critical value τ_{c}, the scattered field is surprisingly insensitive to the properties of the incoming wave and local operational details of the driving. Instead, it reaches a fixed point attractor that can be controlled by the direction of the driving cycle. For dwell times below τ_{c}, the unusual robustness is abruptly suppressed. Such protocols may become useful tools in control engineering, including the management of thermal and quantum fluctuations.

Additively manufactured drug products, typically produced using small-scale, on-demand batch mode, require rapid and non-destructive quantification methods. A tunable modular design (TMD) approach combining porous polymeric freeze-dried modules and an additive manufacturing method, inkjet printing, was proposed in an earlier study to fabricate accurate and patient-tailored doses of an antidepressant citalopram hydrobromide. This approach addresses the unmet medical needs associated with antidepressant tapering.

Person identification is a critical task in applications such as security and surveillance, requiring reliable systems that perform robustly under diverse conditions. This study evaluates the Vision Transformer (ViT) and ResNet34 models across three modalities-RGB, thermal, and depth-using datasets collected with infrared array sensors and LiDAR sensors in controlled scenarios and varying resolutions (16 × 12 to 640 × 480) to explore their effectiveness in person identification. Preprocessing techniques, including YOLO-based cropping, were employed to improve subject isolation.

The growing interest in plant-derived compounds and synthesis of metallopolymer nanocomposites (MPNCs) especially silver chitosan nanocomposites (AgCS-NCs) emerges as a useful platform to encapsulate and deliver plant-based anticancer drugs. This work presents the synthesis of AgCS-NCs by using Moringa oleifera aqueous leaf extract (MOAE) and the effect of concentration of MOAE on physicochemical properties of AgCS-NCs followed by its anticancer effect on MCF-7 cell line. The results of UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed successful formation of AgCS-NCs.

Cancer diagnostics often faces challenges, such as invasiveness, high costs, and limited sensitivity for early detection, emphasizing the need for improved approaches. We present a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based platform leveraging inverted pyramid SU-8 nanostructured substrates fabricated via nanoimprint lithography. These substrates, characterized by sharp apices and edges, are further functionalized with (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES), enabling the uniform self-assembly of AuNPs to create a highly favorable configuration for enhanced SERS analysis.
