Applications for New Scintillator Technologies in Gamma Ray Astronomy
Scintillators have long been used for probing the high energy universe. The reliability and low cost of scintillator-PMT detectors have made them the de facto standard for experiments on high altitude balloons and in orbiting satellites.

Compact Spectral Imaging: A Review of Miniaturized and Integrated Systems
This review explores the rapid shift toward compact spectral imaging systems by examining four key design paradigms: Do‐It‐Yourself (DIY) platforms, freeform optics, filter‐on‐chip integration, and multifunctional metasurfaces. The discussion highlights critical applications in medicine, agriculture, and environmental monitoring, providing comparative ...

Vortex Beam Lasing from III‐V Nanowires Epitaxially Grown on Silicon‐on‐Insulator
An epitaxially grown InGaAs nanowire photonic crystal laser on silicon‐on‐insulator is demonstrated to emit vortex beams carrying orbital angular momentum. Deforming the honeycomb lattice causes the band inversion effect and creates symmetry‐protected bound states in the continuum, enabling single‐mode lasing with a topological charge of −2 ...

X- and Gamma-ray Studies of Cas A: Exposing Core Collapse to the Core
In this review of X-ray and gamma-ray observations of Cas A, evidence is discussed that Cas A was a Type Ib supernova of a Wolf-Rayet star with a main sequence mass between 22-25 Msun, that exploded after stellar wind loss had reduced its mass to ~6 Msun.
