Active terahertz beam steering based on mechanical deformation of a liquid crystal elastomer metasurface
Traditionally, active metasurface research has primarily focused on changing the dielectric constant and permeability of the substrate, which frequently results in resonance effect and ohmic loss. However, a reconfigurable metasurface based on mechan.....»»
Map of ancient ocean "dead zones" could predict future locations, impacts
Researchers have created a map of oceanic "dead zones" that existed during the Pliocene epoch, when the Earth's climate was two to three degrees warmer than it is now. The work could provide a glimpse into the locations and potential impacts of futur.....»»
