This manuscript aims to present and evaluate the applicability of combining optical line-of-sight (LoS) navigation with crosslink radiometric navigation for deep-space cruising distributed space systems. To do so, a set of four distributed space systems architectures is presented, and for each of those, the applicability of the combination is evaluated, comparing it to the baseline solutions, which are based on only optical navigation. The comparison is done by studying the performance in a circular heliocentric orbit in seven different time intervals (ranging from 2024 to 2032) and exploiting the observation of all the pairs of planets from Mercury to Saturn. The distance between spacecraft is kept around 200 km. Later, a NEA mission test case is generated in order to explore the applicability to a more realistic case. This analysis shows that the technique can also cope with a variable inter-satellite distance, and the best performance is obtained when the spacecraft get closer to each other.

In percutaneous pelvic trauma surgery, accurate placement of Kirschner wires (K-wires) is crucial to ensure effective fracture fixation and avoid complications due to breaching the cortical bone along an unsuitable trajectory. Surgical navigation via mixed reality (MR) can help achieve precise wire placement in a low-profile form factor. Current approaches in this domain are as yet unsuitable for real-world deployment because they fall short of guaranteeing accurate visual feedback due to uncontrolled bending of the wire.

Ultra-intense short-pulse lasers interacting with matter are capable of generating exceptionally bright secondary radiation sources. The short pulse duration (picoseconds to nanoseconds), small source size (sub-mm), and comparable high peak flux to conventional single particle sources make them an attractive source for radiography using a combination of particle species, known as multimodal imaging. Simultaneous x-ray and MeV neutron imaging of multi-material objects can yield unique advantages for material segmentation and identification within the full sample.

The wide-bandgap semiconductor material GaO exhibits great potential in solar-blind deep-ultraviolet (DUV) photodetection applications, including none-line-of-sight secure optical communication, fire warning, high-voltage electricity monitoring, and maritime fog dispersion navigation. However, GaO photodetectors have traditionally faced challenges in achieving both high responsivity and fast response time, limiting their practical application. Herein, the GaO solar-blind DUV photodetectors with a suspended structure have been constructed for the first time.

Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging aims at recovering hidden objects located beyond the traditional line of sight, with potential applications in areas such as security monitoring, search and rescue, and autonomous driving. Conventionally, NLOS imaging requires raster scanning of laser pulses and collecting the reflected photons from a relay wall. High-time-resolution detectors obtain the flight time of photons undergoing multiple scattering for image reconstruction.

Programmable metasurfaces (PMSs) exhibit great potentials in target detection techniques, because they can take actions to change channel propagation characteristics which introduces further degrees of freedom for system optimizations. However, responses of most traditional PMSs are sensitive to incident angles of impinging electromagnetic waves, resulting in a failure of angular estimation to dynamic targets coming from different directions. Herein, by proposing a fully resonant structure and introducing a mode-alignment technology, we report an isotropic angle-insensitive PMS whose phase response is stable with respect to different incident angles in both elevation- and azimuth-planes.
