Slowing down or even trapping electromagnetic (EM) waves attract researchers' attention for its potential applications in energy storage, optical signal processing and nonlinearity enhancement. However, conventional trapping, in fact, is not truly trapping because of the existence of strong coupling effects and reflections. In this paper, a novel metal-semiconductor-semiconductor-metal (MSSM) heterostructure is presented, and novel truly rainbow trapping of terahertz waves is demonstrated based on a tapered MSSM structure. More importantly, functional devices such as optical buffer, optical switch and optical filter are achieved in one single structure based on the truly rainbow trapping theory. Owing to the property of one-way propagation, these new types of optical devices can be high performance and are expected to be used in integrated optical circuits.

Introduction: The availability of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators opens the possibility of discontinuing some chronic pulmonary therapies to decrease cystic fibrosis (CF) treatment burden. However, CFTR modulators may not adequately address neutrophilic inflammation, which contributes to a self-perpetual cycle of viscous CF sputum, airway obstruction, inflammation, and lung function decline.
Areas Covered: This review discusses the emerging role of neutrophil extracellular traps in CF and its role in CF sputum viscosity, airway obstruction, and inflammation, based on a literature search of PubMed (1990-present).

Rainbow trapping, observed in elastic waves, has attracted considerable scientific interest owing to its potential applications in energy harvesting, buffering, and wavelength-division multiplexing devices. However, previous approaches have often necessitated complex geometric modifications to the scatterer, such as altering dimensions or shifting along diagonals to corners, limiting practical utility. Here, we realize the coupled topological edge states (CTESs) of elastic waves in a two-dimensional (2D) solid phononic crystal (PC) with inversion center changes.

Elevated levels of iron occur in both cortical and subcortical regions of the CNS in patients with Alzheimer's disease. This accumulation is present early in the disease process as well as in more advanced stages. The factors potentially accounting for this increase are numerous, including: (1) Cells increase their uptake of iron and reduce their export of iron, as iron becomes sequestered (trapped within the lysosome, bound to amyloid β or tau, etc.

Using the trapped rainbow effect to slow down or even stop light has been widely studied. However, high loss and energy leakage severely limited the development of rainbow devices. Here, we observed the negative Goos-Hänchen effect in film samples across the entire visible spectrum.
