Phase gradient photonic crystals (PGPCs) are proposed as promising candidates for phase manipulation and can enable arbitrary electromagnetic functions, such as deflection and focusing. In stark contrast to the proposed metasurfaces, the phase variation in PGPCs arises from simple edge-configuration rather than structure resonance. Moreover, the reflection magnitude maintains a constant of 1 for the reflective case in the Bragg gap, which affords significant convenience in design. Both theoretical and experimental results demonstrate that the deflector based on reflective PGPCs possesses strong angular stability and is applicable across a broadband frequency range. Our work provides a promising avenue for the implementation of phase manipulation on novel optical platforms, facilitating the development of innovative optical devices with distinctive features in the future.

The complex relationship between inflammation, its effects on neuronal excitability and the ensuing plasticity of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) sensory neurons remains to be fully explored. In this study, we have employed a system of experiments assessing the impact of inflammatory conditioned media derived from activated immune cells on the excitability and activity of DRG neurons and how this relates to subsequent growth responses of these cells. We show here that an early phase of increased neuronal activity in response to inflammatory conditioned media is critical for the engagement of plastic processes and that neuronal excitability profiles are linked through time to the structural phenotype of individual neurons.

Background: Previous research has shown that temporal prediction processes are associated with phase resets of low-frequency delta oscillations in a network of parietal, sensory and frontal areas during non-rhythmic sensory stimulation. Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) modulates perceptually relevant brain oscillations in a frequency and phase-specific manner, allowing the assessment of their functional qualities in certain cognitive functions like temporal prediction.
Objective: We addressed the relation between oscillatory activity and temporal prediction by using tACS to manipulate brain activity in a sinusoidal manner.

Background: Air leakage during pulmonary resection is a major complication in thoracic surgery. It frequently occurs at sites of adhesion dissection, due to lung manipulation, and along the staple lines of automatic suturing devices, particularly in cases of pulmonary fragility such as those of emphysema and interstitial pneumonia. Persistent postoperative air leakage prolongs chest tube indwelling and extends hospitalization time.

Increasing noise pollution has generated a tremendous threat to human health and incurred great economic losses. However, most existing noise-absorbing materials present a significant challenge in achieving lightweight, robust mechanical stability, and efficient low-frequency (<1000 Hz) noise reduction. Herein, we create highly compressible micro/nanofibrous sponges with thin-walled cavity structures for efficient noise reduction through electrospinning and dispersion casting.
