The measurement and diagnosis of electromagnetic fields are important foundations for various electronic and optical systems. This paper presents an innovative optically controlled plasma scattering technique for imaging electromagnetic fields. On a silicon wafer, the plasma induced by the photoconductive effect is exploited as an optically controlled scattering probe to image the amplitude and phase of electromagnetic fields. A prototype is built and realizes the imaging of electromagnetic fields radiated from antennas from 870MHz to 0.2 terahertz within one second. Measured results show good agreement with the simulations. It is demonstrated that this new technology improves the efficiency of electromagnetic imaging to a real-time level, while combining various advantages of ultrafast speed, super-resolution, ultra-wideband response, low-cost and vectorial wave mapping ability. This method may initiate a new avenue in the measurement and diagnosis of electromagnetic fields.

The widespread propagation of wireless communication devices, from smartphones and tablets to Internet of Things (IoT) systems, has become an integral part of modern life. However, the expansion of wireless technology has also raised public concern about the potential health risks associated with prolonged exposure to electromagnetic fields. Our objective is to determine the optimal machine learning model for constructing electric field strength maps across urban areas, enhancing the field of environmental monitoring with the aid of sensor-based data collection.

This study investigates fixed and moving mesh methodologies for modeling liquid metal-free surface deformation during the induction melting process. The numerical method employs robust coupling of magnetic fields with the hydrodynamics of the turbulent stirring of liquid metal. Free surface tracking is implemented using the fixed mesh level set (LS) and the moving mesh arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) formulation.

In recent years, the modulation of brain neural activity by applied electromagnetic fields has become a hot spot in neuroscience research. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) are two common non-invasive neuromodulation techniques. However, conventional tACS has limited stimulation effects in the deeper parts of the brain.

Metal single atoms (SA)-support interactions inherently exhibit significant electrochemical activity, demonstrating potential in energy catalysis. However, leveraging these interactions to modulate electronic properties and extend application fields is a formidable challenge, demanding in-depth understanding and quantitative control of atomic-scale interactions. Herein, in situ, off-axis electron holography technique is utilized to directly visualize the interactions between SAs and the graphene surface.
