Single‐Nanoparticle Detection Using Quasi‐Bound States in the Continuum Supported by Silicon Metasurfaces

Small Methods, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the detection of virus‐sized single polystyrene particles in water by leveraging the ultrahigh‐Q nature of low‐contrast bound states in the continuum (BIC) metasurfaces. The resonance properties of silicon BIC metasurfaces—wavelength, linewidth, and amplitude—all exhibit single‐particle sensitivity, representing a unique sensing

Do Banks Learn From Natural Disasters? Evidence From the U.S. Financial Sector

European Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines whether U.S. banks learn from natural disasters. We explore several potential channels of adjustment and find that exposed banks primarily respond by adopting precautionary capital measures. This behaviour is evident both in the long run, when assessing divergent trends in the evolution of equity over time, and in the short
