Highlighted Research

Migration trajectories and blocking effect of the fine particles in porous media based on particle flow simulation

The authors developed a discrete-element particle-flow model to simulate suspended fine-particle migration through porous media. They ran numerical tests that varied particle size, seepage velocity, the number of injected particles, and the breadth of the particle-size distribution.

Prediction of specific cutting energy consumption in eco-benign lubricating environment for biomedical industry applications: Exploring efficacy of GEP, ANN, and RSM models

Measuring the specific cutting energy required to machine Hastelloy C276 is important for biomedical manufacturing because it informs machinability, tool choice, process settings, and efficiency. The study uses AI-assisted metamodels to predict this energy demand accurately and economically.

A comprehensive review of deep learning-based fault diagnosis approaches for rolling bearings: Advancements and challenges

Diagnosing rolling-bearing faults supports equipment health monitoring and preventive maintenance, helping improve operational reliability and lower maintenance costs. The review compares the applications, strengths, and limitations of traditional data-driven, deep-learning, graph-embedding, and Transformer-based methods.

Simultaneously enhance electric and magnetic Purcell factor by strong coupling between toroidal dipole quasi-BIC and electric dipole

A large electric or magnetic Purcell factor indicates that a structure can strongly support electrically or magneto-optically driven emission. Enhancing both factors simultaneously could enable selective photon sources within integrated circuits.

Molecular dynamics simulations of heat transport using machine-learned potentials: A mini-review and tutorial on GPUMD with neuroevolution potentials

Molecular-dynamics simulations are important for understanding and engineering thermal transport in complex materials. Producing reliable predictions requires interatomic potentials that combine high accuracy with computational efficiency.

Magnetic properties, critical behavior, and magnetocaloric effect of Nd₁₋ₓSrₓMnO₃ (0.2 ≤ x ≤ 0.5): The role of Sr doping concentration

The study examines how several strontium concentrations affect the magnetic behavior, magnetocaloric response, and critical properties of Nd₁₋ₓSrₓMnO₃. Every composition remained orthorhombic, but the space group changed from Pnma at the lower Sr concentrations to Imma at the higher concentrations.

Advanced optical reinforcement materials based on three-dimensional four-way weaving structure and metasurface technology

The authors combine broadband metamaterial-absorber principles with weaving to create a resin–AlCuFe quasicrystal composite that operates across a broad spectrum while tolerating mechanical deformation. The lightweight material incorporates a three-dimensional four-way braided architecture and Dirac semimetals.

Roadmap on photonic metasurfaces

This article presents a forward-looking roadmap for photonic metasurfaces. It brings together perspectives covering major applications, technical subjects, and challenge areas within the field.

Femtosecond laser structured black superhydrophobic cork for efficient solar-driven cleanup of crude oil

Marine spills involving viscous oil are a serious global environmental problem, while effective and environmentally friendly cleanup methods remain limited. The study introduces a water-repelling, oil-attracting photothermal material designed to absorb high-viscosity oil efficiently.

A novel tapered quartz tuning fork-based laser spectroscopy sensing

The study introduces a tapered quartz tuning fork designed to improve stress and charge distribution in laser-spectroscopy sensors while providing a low 7.83 kHz resonance and a wide gap for longer energy buildup and easier optical alignment. Compared with a rectangular fork, the tapered design shifts the maximum-stress region from the root toward the middle to improve sensing performance.

Continuous-variable quantum key distribution system: Past, present, and future

Quantum key distribution creates secure keys whose information-theoretic protection is grounded in quantum-mechanical principles. Its continuous-variable form using coherent states is advancing rapidly because it can work with standard telecommunications components, including commercial lasers and homodyne detectors.

Integrated mid-infrared sensing and ultrashort lasers based on wafer-level T_d-WTe₂ Weyl semimetal

There is an urgent demand for infrared detectors that are highly miniaturized and can operate at room temperature. Two-dimensional semimetals are promising candidates because of their exceptional optoelectronic properties.
