Bio‐inspired nanophotonics: Structural color, chirality, and resonance metasurfaces

open access: yesInfoMat, EarlyView.
A butterfly‐wing‐inspired anisotropic plasmonic flatband resonant metasurface. Insets, photo of the butterfly, Sasakia charonda, and the SEM image of its wing scale (above); the SEM image of the metasurface (below). Abstract The dazzling colors of butterfly wings and hummingbird feathers are not painted with pigments, but crafted by nature's invisible ...

Decadal Changes of UV Aerosol Optical Depth in Hobart, Australia Measured With a Brewer MKIII: Relationship to Bushfire Events and Climate Indices

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Monthly average aerosol optical depth at 320 nm obtained with a Brewer MKIII spectrophotometer for Hobart, Australia (42.8806° S, 147.3250° E) over a 21‐year period. There is a linear trend of 15.4% per decade. There are 9 months when the average aerosol optical depth exceeds twice the monthly standard deviation.

Characterising City Scale Heat Climatology for Australian Climate Zones

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect in Australian cities peaks at night, intensifying under dry conditions, clear skies, increased solar radiation, and low wind speeds. Long‐term observations show that nighttime temperatures in major cities have warmed faster than their rural surroundings and future climate projections fail to capture this disparity ...

Method Based on Continuous Artificial Dry and Humid UV Treatments to Reduce the Luminescence Background in the Raman Spectra of Plastics

open access: yesJournal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
We propose an UV photobleaching pretreatment to reduce the strong luminescence in the Raman spectra of plastic samples. Our protocol proves its efficiency whatever the luminescence origin (from the pigments or from a surface biofilm) but requires a careful optimization of the illumination conditions (UV wavelength, time, humidity) to reach the ...

Reaction Rate Coefficients and Adduct Formation in the Cl Atom + (E)‐CF3CF2CH=CHCF2CF3 Reaction

open access: yesInternational Journal of Chemical Kinetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this work, rate coefficients for the Cl‐atom + (E)‐CF3CF2CH═CHCF2CF3 (HFO‐153‐10mczz, F22E) gas‐phase reaction were measured as a function of temperature and pressure, k(243–323 K, 50–300 Torr), using a pulsed laser photolysis‐resonance fluorescence (PLP‐RF) technique.

Coccolithophore particulate inorganic and organic carbon ratios: An evaluation of acid decalcification methods

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Accurate direct measurements of coccolithophore particulate inorganic and organic carbon ratios (PIC/POC) are crucial for understanding the physiology and role these microbes play in global ocean carbon flux. Direct measurements of POC are commonly obtained by acid fuming or applying acid directly to filters to dissolve PIC (CaCO3) prior to CN

Uncertainty assessment for a novel optically shallow water radiometric acquisition platform

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract We present a novel motorized platform, a custom‐built jet‐ski designed for acoustic and radiometric measurements in optically shallow coastal waters. This platform integrates in‐water radiometers with single‐beam and multi‐beam acoustic sensors, along with a suite of active and passive instruments (conductivity‐temperature‐depth, fluorescence,

Optically Bound Rapid Plasmonic Nanorod Dimers: Anisotropic Dynamics Driven by Light‐Fluidic Cooperation

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Optically confined gold nanorods exhibit cooperative light‐driven dynamics, forming mobile end‐to‐end dimers with orientation‐dependent propulsion. Using structured laser traps and an opto‐thermo‐hydrodynamic model, we uncover how optical binding, polarization‐induced torque, and near‐surface hydrodynamics govern their motion.

In Situ Acoustic Monitoring of Focused Femtosecond Pulse Duration in Air

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Air‐breakdown acoustics at the laser focus is used to determine femtosecond pulse duration with a simple USB microphone. By chirp‐tuning and compressing 1030 nm pulses from 241 to 50 fs, the acoustic amplitude scales inversely proportional to the square root of the pulse duration, enabling in situ readout over 50 fs–5 ps—crucial for precise pulse ...

Clinical Outcomes of Photobiomodulation Therapy for Inferior Alveolar Nerve Injury: A Retrospective Analysis

open access: yesLasers in Surgery and Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives This retrospective study evaluated the clinical outcomes associated with a photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) protocol in patients with inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injury following oral and maxillofacial surgery. The study specifically investigated whether the etiology of paresthesia, the time elapsed before treatment initiation ...
