A new super-resolution method, entitled Near-field Projection Optical Microscopy (NPOM), is presented. This novel technique enables the imaging of nanoscale objects without the need for surface scanning, as is usually required in existing methods such as NSOM (near-field scanning optical microscope). The main advantage of the proposed concept, besides the elimination of the need for a mechanical scanning mechanism, is that the full field of regard/view is imaged simultaneously and not point-by-point as in scanning-based techniques. Furthermore, by using compressed sensing, the number of projected patterns needed to decompose the spatial information of the inspected object can be made smaller than the obtainable points of spatial resolution. In addition to the development of mathematical formalism, this paper presents the results of a series of complementary numerical tests, using various objects and patterns, that were performed to verify the accuracy of the reconstruction capabilities. We have also performed a proof of concept experiment to support the numerical formalism.

H13 die steel has the characteristics of high hardness, strong toughness, and good heat resistance, and is a typical difficult to process materials material. During the cutting process, it is prone to accelerate tool wear and cause thermal deformation. By reasonably designing micro-grooves, the comprehensive performance of the tool can be effectively improved.

Article Synopsis
- The paper discusses how the direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation for sonar on an unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) can be affected by interference from both nearby and distant sources.
- It introduces a sparsity-based DOA estimation method that separates weak far-field signals from near-field interferences using sparse reconstruction techniques.
- The method also incorporates subspace projection to improve the estimation of weak target signals that are masked by strong interferences, showing better performance in simulations and experiments compared to other advanced estimation methods.

Article Synopsis
- Monitoring a deep geological repository for radioactive waste involves combining numerical simulations and online sensor data to predict the repository's long-term physical evolution and ensure it progresses toward closure effectively.
- Data prediction is complex due to challenges like data quality, model complexity, and the need for feature selection, which can lead to discrepancies between simulated and real-world outcomes.
- The paper discusses these challenges in the context of complex systems, showcasing how machine and deep learning methods are applied in a case study focused on monitoring thermal loading in a high-level waste cell at Andra's underground research lab.

Nanotomography with hard X-rays is a widely used technique for high-resolution imaging, providing insights into the structure and composition of various materials. In recent years, tomographic approaches based on simultaneous illuminations of the same sample region from different angles by multiple beams have been developed at micrometre image resolution. Transferring these techniques to the nanoscale is challenging due to the loss in photon flux by focusing the X-ray beam.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe phase problem is a well known ill-posed reconstruction problem of coherent lens-less microscopic imaging, where only the squared magnitude of a complex wavefront is measured by a detector while the phase information of the wave field is lost. To retrieve the lost information, common algorithms rely either on multiple data acquisitions under varying measurement conditions or on the application of strong constraints such as a spatial support. In X-ray near-field holography, however, these methods are rendered impractical in the setting of time sensitive in situ and operando measurements.
