Broadband high-frequency activity (BHA; 70 to 150 Hz), also known as "high gamma," a key analytic signal in human intracranial (electrocorticographic) recordings, is often assumed to reflect local neural firing [multiunit activity (MUA)]. As the precise physiological substrates of BHA are unknown, this assumption remains controversial. Our analysis of laminar multielectrode data from V1 and A1 in monkeys outlines two components of stimulus-evoked BHA distributed across the cortical layers: an "early-deep" and "late-superficial" response. Early-deep BHA has a clear spatial and temporal overlap with MUA. Late-superficial BHA was more prominent and accounted for more of the BHA signal measured near the cortical pial surface. However, its association with local MUA is weak and often undetectable, consistent with the view that it reflects dendritic processes separable from local neuronal firing.

A reasonable construction of hollow structures to obtain high-performance absorbers is widely studied, but it is still a challenge to select suitable materials to improve the low-frequency attenuation performance. Here, the FeO@C@NiO nanoprisms with unique tip shapes, asymmetric multi-path hollow cavity, and core-shell heteroepitaxy structure are designed and synthesized based on anisotropy and intrinsic physical characteristics. Impressively, by changing the load of NiO, the composites achieve strong absorption, broadband, low-frequency absorption: the reflection loss of -55.

- Terahertz (THz) radar is beneficial for its high frequency and strong penetration ability, making it suitable for fields like aerospace and non-destructive testing, but current systems struggle with large-scale detection due to complexity and costs.
- A new radar system using a one-dimensional photonic crystal and spintronic technology improves THz radar signals, achieving a signal-to-noise ratio of about 58 dB and bandwidth over 5 THz.
- This innovative design allows for high-quality, uniform THz waves over a 4-inch radius, paving the way for advanced radar imaging useful in areas such as aerospace engineering, stealth testing, and 3D reconstruction.

Analysis of the continuous ambient noise data collected by a dense network of broadband seismic stations reveals the characteristics of ambient noise in densely populated urban areas. A study conducted in central Inner Mongolia utilized ten broadband stations to investigate two distinct repetitive and intense noise signals with predominant frequencies ranging from 1-20 Hz and 0.01-1 Hz.

A full characterization of multilayer ceramic capacitors including variations in capacitance, series resistance, and series inductance is accomplished by measuring their RF response while being submitted to mechanical stress. This allows for the first time quantifying the degradation of the device's RF performance when cracks form within its structure. In this regard, the main challenge is designing an interface for measuring the high-frequency response of a capacitor using a vector network analyzer as a bending test on a PCB in progress, which is achieved here by using a microstrip-based test fixture.

The high-frequency activity (HFA; 80-150 Hz) in human intracranial recordings shows a differential modulation to different degrees in contrast when stimuli are behaviorally relevant, indicating a feedforward process. However, the HFA is also significantly dominated by superficial layers and exhibits a peak before 200 ms, suggesting that it is more likely a feedback signal. Magnetoencephalographic (MEG) recordings are suited to reveal an HFA modulation similar to its modulation in intracranial recordings.
