Switchable metasurfaces deliver stronger light control

Researchers in Sweden have demonstrated that smart optical metasurfaces can respond more strongly to incoming light when switched to conducting states.
By adjusting the spacing between nanoantennae arrays on a polymer metasurface, they enhanced optical responses through nonlocal electromagnetic coupling.
The use of conducting polymers like PEDOT allows for reversible modulation of optical properties by altering the oxidation state, affecting resonance and quality factor.
The study shows promising implications for future smart optical metasurfaces, with potential applications in holography, invisibility cloaking, and biomedical imaging.

Scientists discover a nucleus that can change its shape with just a tiny nudge

Researchers at Michigan State University’s Facility for Rare Isotope Beams discovered that cobalt-70, a tiny atomic nucleus, can exist in both spherical and deformed shapes with a small difference in energy.
This surprising finding challenges previous notions about the static nature of atomic structure and highlights the dynamic possibilities within atoms.
Using the Summing NaI Detector, the team observed the phenomenon of shape coexistence in cobalt-70, a rare isotope acting as a transition zone between different structural behaviors.
The research, published in Nature Communications Physics, utilized total absorption spectroscopy to analyze the nucleus's ability to switch between shapes, shedding light on nuclear models and opening avenues for further exploration.

Vilnius University physicist creates micrometre-sized model of the Sorbonne Chapel

A physicist from Vilnius University in Lithuania has created a micrometre-sized 3D-printed replica of the Sorbonne Chapel that fits on a human hair.
The Chapel of Sainte-Ursule de la Sorbonne, located in Paris, was built in the seventeenth century and served as the inspiration for the tiny model.
Gordon Zyla used a laser nanofabrication technique called multiphoton 3D lithography to create the miniature structure.
The replica, 275,000 times smaller than the original, was presented to Sorbonne University president Nathalie Drach-Temam as a symbolic gesture.

An Alternative to the Linear-Quadratic Model

The linear-quadratic model and the multi-target single-hit (MTSH) model are discussed as alternatives to describe cell survival curves following exposure to ionizing radiation.
Both models have parameters that affect cell survival probability, with differences in behavior at small and large radiation doses.
The MTSH model falls off exponentially at large doses, while the linear-quadratic model falls off quadratically. Each model provides insights into cell survival under radiation.
The choice between these models depends on experimental data and assumptions, with considerations for extrapolating behavior from large dose measurements to determine appropriate model parameters.
