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

open access: yesArchaeometry, 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

FBG-based fibre-optic current sensors for power systems protection : laboratory evaluation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Conventional differential current unit protection schemes rely on a pair of electronic protection relays that measure current phasors separately at the boundaries of the protected zone.

Distinct distributions of myosin motor conformations during contraction of slow and fast skeletal muscle

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend We recorded time‐resolved small‐angle X‐ray diffraction patterns from rat soleus muscles during fixed‐end twitch and tetanic contractions to investigate the structural basis of the lower fixed‐end force generated by these muscles compared with fast muscles, such as the mouse extensor digitorum longus (EDL).

New multiplexing scheme for monitoring fiber optic Bragg grating sensors in the coherence domain

open access: yes, 1997
A new multiplexing scheme for monitoring fiber optic Bragg gratings in the coherence domain has been developed. Grating pairs with different grating distances are distributed along a fiber line, and interference between their reflections is monitored ...

Lithium Niobate Quadratic Integrated Nonlinear Photonics: Enabling Ultra‐Wide Bandwidth and Ultrafast Photonic Engines

open access: yesNanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 9, 13 May 2026.
This perspective surveys emerging quantum and classical photonic applications across operating wavelengths and timescales, highlighting persistent technological gaps in integrated light sources. We examine the unique advantages of quadratic nonlinear photonics on the thin‐film lithium niobate (TFLN) platform and discuss strategies for realizing ...

Sol–Gel Derived Polymer Precursors for Stereolithography of ZrC

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 9, 6 May 2026.
ZrC is a critical material target for extreme temperature conditions. This report describes a protocol for preparing ZrC ceramics via stereolithography and examines the impact of the polymer matrix on carbothermal reduction and mechanical stability of 3D printed ZrC.

Investigations of Marine Safety Improvements by Structural Health Monitoring Systems [PDF]

open access: yesTransNav, 2012
The paper presents a first approach of the structural health monitoring (SHM) system, dedicated to marine structures. The considered system is based on the fibre optic (FO) technique with Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors.

All-optical 160 Gbit/s RZ data retiming system incorporating a pulse shaping fibre Bragg grating

open access: yes, 2007
We characterize a 160Gbit/s retimer based on flat-topped pulses shaped using a superstructured fibre Bragg grating. The benefits of using shaped rather than conventional pulse forms in terms of timing jitter reduction are confirmed by bit-error-rate ...

Breathable Graphene Oxide‐Polymer Composite Membranes With Two‐Step Barrier Mechanism Against Nerve Agents

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 37, 7 May 2026.
ABSTRACT Breathable membranes that reject chemical warfare agents (CWAs) are required for next‐generation protective apparel. A dual‐function graphene oxide (GO)‐polyamine architecture is introduced that addresses the long‐standing tradeoff between vapor transmission and CWA selectivity.
