The design problems for the Optical Interference Coating (OIC) 2022 Topical Meeting include black box coatings to reverse engineer and a pair of white-balanced, multi-bandpass filters for three-dimensional cinema projection in cold and hot outdoor environments. There were 14 designers from China, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, and the United States, submitting 32 total designs for problems A and B. The design problems and the submitted solutions are described and evaluated.

Infinitesimal optical singularity ruler for three-dimensional picometric metrology.

Nat Commun

Optical metrology with picometer-scale precision in three-dimensional space is of considerable importance in modern physics and state of the art technology, optical interference is an effective method, but techniques with rapid spatial variation have the potential to enhance measurement precision, which will be required as measurement dimensions decrease. Here, the concept of the vanishingly small optical phase singularity ruler is introduced. Inspired by the well-known plumb-line technique used to locate the centroid, an analogous singularity line technique is proposed to locate the optical singularity with a precision of ~4.

Highly Sensitive Low-Frequency Acoustic Sensor Based on Functionalized Graphene Oxide.

Small

December 2024

State Key Laboratory of Precision Measurement Technology and Instruments, School of Precision Instruments and Optoelectronics Engineering, Tianjin University, Tianjin, 300072, China.

Developing miniaturized low-frequency acoustic sensors with high sensitivity is crucial for diverse applications, including geological monitoring and aerospace exploration. However, the performance of low-frequency acoustic sensor is constrained by the limited mechanical robustness of traditional sensing films at nanoscale thickness. Here, a functionalized graphene oxide (GO)-based Fabry-Perot (FP) low-frequency sensor is proposed, with characteristics of compact size, resistance to electromagnetic interference high-sensitivity low minimum detectable pressure (MDP), and a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) are promising nanomedicine vehicles due to their biocompatibility and ability to carry large cargoes. It is critical in nanomedicine development to be able to map their uptake in cells, including distinguishing surface associated MSNPs from those that are embedded or internalized into cells. Conventional nanoscale imaging techniques, such as electron and fluorescence microscopies, however, generally require the use of stains and labels to image both the biological material and the nanomedicines, which can interfere with the biological processes at play.

Different kinds of proteins interact with the digestible lipids in various ways, affecting the adsorption behavior of proteins and digestion. The ordered porous layer interferometry (OPLI) system was constructed by the silica colloidal crystal (SCC) films used to monitor the real-time binding assessment between bovine serum albumin (BSA), casein, fibrinogen, and triolein. The OPLI system reflected the changes in protein mass on the SCC films in real time through the migration of the interference spectrum of the SCC films, which was converted into the changes in optical thickness (ΔOT) that can be monitored.

Integrative studies of diverse neuronal networks that govern social behavior are hindered by a lack of methods to record neural activity comprehensively across the entire brain. The recent development of the miniature fish Danionella cerebrum as a model organism offers one potential solution, as the small size and optical transparency of these animals make it possible to visualize circuit activity throughout the nervous system. Here, we establish the feasibility of using Danionella as a model for social behavior and socially reinforced learning by showing that adult fish exhibit strong affiliative tendencies and that social interactions can serve as the reinforcer in an appetitive conditioning paradigm.
