Article Abstract

Terahertz (THz) field enhancement has significant applications in high-resolution imaging, next-generation wireless communications, and networking. In this work, we experimentally demonstrate a graphene metasurface for THz field enhancement that is based on the intervalley scattering theory. Each meta-atom of the metasurface is composed of one split-ring resonator (SRR) embedded in one graphene patch. The experimental results show that, by electrically adjusting the conductivity of the graphene patch, the THz field through the entire sample is enhanced by 23 times and the transmission amplitude at 0.47 THz decreases 8.4 dB. Moreover, the maximum phase difference at 0.43 THz reaches 88°. The experiment shows good agreement with simulation. This study paves a way for exploring THz-matter interactions and nonlinear optics.

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a prevalent chronic condition affecting approximately 12% of adults, with incidence increasing with age. While pharmacological and behavioural therapies are standard treatments, their efficacy is often limited by side effects and poor adherence. This study aimed to compare the therapeutic effects of precision magnetic stimulation guided by motor-evoked potential with general magnetic therapy in patients with OAB.

Skin homeostasis is strongly dependent on its hydration levels, making skin water content measurement vital across various fields, including medicine, cosmetology, and sports science. Noninvasive diagnostic techniques are particularly relevant for clinical applications due to their minimal risk of side effects. A range of optical methods have been developed for this purpose, each with unique physical principles, advantages, and limitations.

Intranasal administration of oxytocin is emerging as a potential pharmacological option for mitigating social difficulties and regulating stress in autism spectrum disorder. However, initial single-dose and multiple-dose trials showed mixed results, with some demonstrating improvements in social and repetitive behavior and others showing no benefit over placebo. This perspective aims to elucidate factors contributing to this variability and to highlight pitfalls and opportunities in the field.

Nanosuspensions (NS), with their submicron particle sizes and unique physicochemical properties, provide a versatile solution for enhancing the administration of medications that are not highly soluble in water or lipids. This review highlights recent advancements, future prospects, and challenges in NS-based drug delivery, particularly for oral, ocular, transdermal, pulmonary, and parenteral routes. The conversion of oral NS into powders, pellets, granules, tablets, and capsules, and their incorporation into film dosage forms to address stability concerns is thoroughly reviewed.
