Hybridization of surface lattice resonances induces dual-band bound states in continuum
In metasurfaces, surface lattice resonances (SLRs) and bound state in the continuum (BIC) are two convenient approaches for achieving high quality factors (Q-factors)......»»
Astronomers track bubbles on star"s surface
For the first time, astronomers have captured images of a star other than the sun in enough detail to track the motion of bubbling gas on its surface. The images of the star, R Doradus, were obtained with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Ar.....»»
How the oceans" most abundant bacteria impact global nutrient flows
If you were to collect all the organisms from the ocean surface down to 200 meters, you'd find that SAR11 bacteria, though invisible to the naked eye, would make up a fifth of the total biomass. These bacteria, also known as Pelagibacterales, have ev.....»»
