We explore the interference of two bichromatic vector beams in Young's interference experiment. Our analysis focuses on determining the conditions under which the superposition of such beams, emerging from the pinholes, can give rise to Lissajous-type polarization singularities on the observation screen. Two independent sufficiency conditions are derived. This analysis aids in comprehending the inherent characteristics of Lissajous singularities. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of the singular behavior of polarization in a two-frequency field in Young's interference experiment.

Controlling coherent light-matter interactions in semiconductor microcavities is at the heart of the next-generation solid-state polaritonic devices. Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites are potential materials for room-temperature polaritonics owing to their high exciton oscillator strengths and large exciton binding energies. Herein, we report on strong exciton-photon coupling in the micro-platelet and micro-ribbon shaped methylammonium lead bromide single crystals.

Article Synopsis
- A novel and cost-effective method for extracting cellulose nanofibers (ECNFs) from Imperata cylindrica grass was developed, resulting in high yield and purity.
- The extracted ECNFs exhibited impressive characteristics, including a uniform diameter, high crystallinity, and small crystal size, confirmed through advanced analytical techniques.
- ECNFs were shown to significantly improve the mechanical properties of chitosan composite films, while incorporating graphene nanoplatelets further enhanced their thermal stability, flame retardancy, and electromagnetic shielding capabilities.
Design of a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 48-week study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cendakimab in adult and adolescent patients with eosinophilic esophagitis.

Article Synopsis
- - Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects eating and quality of life, with existing treatments not fully controlling symptoms for about one-third of patients.
- - A phase 2 study of cendakimab, an anti-IL-13 monoclonal antibody, showed promise in reducing inflammation in EoE patients, leading to a phase 3 study aimed at further evaluating its effectiveness and safety.
- - The phase 3 study will enroll 399 participants to test different dosing regimens of cendakimab against a placebo, focusing on symptoms like difficulty swallowing and histological improvements in eosinophil counts over 48 weeks.
We discover a connection between a Gauss sum of number theory and the degree of coherence (DOC) of the field in a transverse plane of structured speckled light beams. We theoretically demonstrate and experimentally validate that prime number factorization can be achieved by manipulating the source beam's DOC in Young's double-slit experiment. The determination of whether a number can be factored is based solely on the visibility of the resulting interference patterns.

Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) are a well-established therapeutic modality based on RNA interference, but low cellular uptake, limited ability to direct ASO trafficking, and a range of intracellular barriers to successful activity compromise both gene silencing outcomes and clinical translations. Herein, we demonstrate that polymers can increase ASO internalisation intracellular trafficking pathways that are distinct from lipid-based delivery reagents. For the first time, we spatially define internalisation and dissociation stages in the polymer-mediated cytosolic delivery of ASOs using Nanoscale Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (NanoSIMS), which enables visualisation of ASO localisation at the organelle level.
