3D Printed Radar Lenses with Anti-Reflective Structures

open access: yesDesigns, 2019
Background: The purpose of this study was to determine if 3D printed lenses with wavelength specific anti-reflective (AR) surface structures would improve beam intensity and thus radar efficiency for a Printed Circuit Board (PCB)-based 60 GHz radar. This

Using two-dimensional graphene lenses to increase the effectiveness of solar panels

open access: yesRevue des Énergies Renouvelables, 2023
We aim to enhance the efficiency of solar panels by covering them with graphene lenses that collect and concentrate light rays onto the panels. The simulation was performed using the Monte Carlo method and provided precise results regarding the ...

Finding Strong Gravitational Lenses in the Kilo Degree Survey with Convolutional Neural Networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The volume of data that will be produced by new-generation surveys requires automatic classification methods to select and analyze sources. Indeed, this is the case for the search for strong gravitational lenses, where the population of the detectable ...

Gravitational Lenses With More Than Four Images: I. Classification of Caustics

open access: yes, 2000
We study the problem of gravitational lensing by an isothermal elliptical density galaxy in the presence of a tidal perturbation. When the perturbation is fairly strong and oriented near the galaxy's minor axis, the lens can produce image configurations ...

Microfabricated rubber microscope using soft solid immersion lenses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We show here a technique of soft lithography to microfabricate efficient solid immersion lenses (SIL) out of rubber elastomers. The light collection efficiency of a lens system is described by its numerical aperture (NA), and is critical for applications

Evolutionary interplay between viruses and R‐loops

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses interact with specialized nucleic acid structures called R‐loops to influence host transcription, epigenetic states, latency, and immune evasion. This Perspective examines the roles of R‐loops in viral replication, integration, and silencing, and how viruses co‐opt or avoid these structures.
