Cross‐Scale Synergistic Optimization for Miniature Meta‐Liquid Hybrid Zoom Imaging

Nanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 13, 13 July 2026.
A physically constrained optimization framework links electrowetting liquid lenses and metasurface dispersion engineering to realize a compact visible‐band achromatic zoom imager. By co‐optimizing zoom actuation, meta‐atom manufacturability, and system aberrations, the design achieves 1.5x zoom in a 15.5 mm track and clarifies robustness against ...

Electrocatalytic Methanol Oxidation in a Gas‐Phase Electrolyzer: Formaldehyde versus Dimethoxymethane Formation

ChemElectroChem, Volume 13, Issue 11, 3 June 2026.
A gas‐phase electrolyzer with a Pt‐impregnated Nafion membrane anode was used for selectively oxidizing methanol to formaldehyde (FA) with low water content. However, maintaining the cell temperature at 100 °C for extended periods led to membrane dehydration and low water content in the effluent, causing most FA to react with methanol to form ...
