The Fiery Eyes of a Maenad: Origin Determination of Faceted Garnet Eye Inlays in a Roman Bronze Bust From Southern Tyrol

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 1837, the Tyrolean State Museum Ferdinandeum in Innsbruck, Austria, purchased a Roman bronze statue of a maenad from the 2nd century ce with red garnets as facetted eye inlays found near Brixen, Southern Tyrol. These garnets were investigated using optical microscopy, a portable hand‐held and a stationary micro‐X‐ray fluorescence device, as

High-speed, solid state, interferometric interrogator and multiplexer for fiber Bragg grating sensors

, 2011
We report on the design and prototyping of a robust high-speed interferometric multiplexer and interrogator for fiber Bragg grating sensors. The scheme is based on the combination of active WDM channel switching and passive, instantaneous interferometry,

Non‐Continuous Iridescent Variable Structural Color Based on Metallic Surface Periodic Structures

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 11, 9 June 2026.
This study presents an ink‐free laser nanofabrication technique that generates periodic arched microstructures on titanium surfaces, achieving non‐continuous iridescent dual‐color switching. The ridge and side flanks of these structures possess distinct oxide film thicknesses, enabling angle‐dependent selective reflection of specific wavelengths.

Cells Dynamically Adapt Their Nuclear Volumes and Proliferation Rates During Single to Multicellular Transitions

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 31, 4 June 2026.
It is currently not well understood how cells regulate basic properties, e.g., volume and mechanics within dense multicellular environments like tumors. Here, we show that different cell types of cancer and also normal cells largely decrease their nuclear and cellular volumes in emerging cell clusters and that this is partly driven by cell cycle shifts.

Democratizing high-Q plasmonic optical fiber biosensing with low-resolution interrogation and Fourier demodulation

Communications Engineering
Gold-coated tilted fiber Bragg gratings have established themselves as powerful plasmonic biosensors, but their widespread deployment remains hindered by the need for costly, high-resolution interrogators and complex signal processing.

Stimuli‐Responsive Hydrogels for Optical Applications: Mechanisms, Architectures, and Translational Challenges

Aggregate, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
The review discusses stimuli‐responsive hydrogels as soft optical materials that translate physical, chemical, and biological cues into refractive‐index, scattering, birefringence, diffraction, and transparency changes. It examines major stimulus classes and photonic architectures for biosensing, waveguiding, adaptive lenses, smart windows, and therapy.
