In the first part of this work, we introduce a monochromatic solution to the scalar wave equation in free space, defined by a superposition of monochromatic nondiffracting half Bessel-lattice optical fields, which is determined by two scalar functions; one is defined on frequency space, and the other is a complete integral to the eikonal equation in free space. We obtain expressions for the geometrical wavefronts, the caustic region, and the Poynting vector. We highlight that this solution is stable under small perturbations because it is characterized by a caustic of the hyperbolic umbilical type. In the second part, we introduce the corresponding solution to the Maxwell equations in free space.

Predicting long-term recurrence of disease in breast cancer (BC) patients remains a significant challenge for patients with early stage disease who are at low to intermediate risk of relapse as determined using current clinical tools. Prognostic assays which utilize bulk transcriptomics ignore the spatial context of the cellular material and are, therefore, of limited value in the development of mechanistic models. In this study, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) chemical images of BC tissue were used to train deep learning models to predict future disease recurrence.

Many bacteria live in polymeric fluids, such as mucus, environmental polysaccharides, and extracellular polymers in biofilms. However, laboratory studies typically focus on cells in polymer-free fluids. Here, we show that interactions with polymers shape a fundamental feature of bacterial life-how they proliferate in space in multicellular colonies.

Numerical study of periodic windows for the logistic map is carried out. Accurate rigorous bounds for periodic windows' end points are computed using interval arithmetic based tools. An efficient method to find the periodic window with the smallest period lying between two other periodic windows is proposed.

Smartphone-based colorimetric (bio)sensing is a promising alternative to conventional detection equipment for on-site testing, but it is often limited by sensitivity to lighting conditions. These issues are usually avoided using housings with fixed light sources, increasing the cost and complexity of the on-site test, where simplicity, portability, and affordability are a priority. In this study, we demonstrate that careful optimization of color space can significantly boost the performance of smartphone-based colorimetric sensing, enabling housing-free, illumination-invariant detection.

Understanding the resistive switching (RS) behavior of oxide-based memory devices at nanoscale is crucial for advancement of high-integration density in-memory computing platforms. This study explores a comprehensive growth parameter space to address the RS behavior of pulsed-laser-deposited substoichiometric TiO (TiO) thin films in search of tailored nanoscale memristors with low-power consumption and high stability. Conductive-atomic-force-microscopy-based measurements facilitate deciphering the switching behavior at nanoscale, providing a direct avenue to understand the microstructure-property relationships.
