Local Tuning of the Epsilon‐Near‐Zero Condition in Hybrid Silicon Waveguides Using Reactive Laser Annealing by Juan Navarro‐Arenas, Thomas M. Howe, Jorge Parra, Demosthenes C. Koutsogeorgis, James A. Hillier, Nikolaos Kalfagiannis, Pablo Sanchis

“…This work demonstrates the application of postgrowth reactive laser annealing to selectively tune the optical properties of tin‐doped indium oxide (ITO) patches integrated in silicon waveguides. ITO stands out due to its distinctive ability to operate in the epsilon‐near‐zero (ENZ) regime at near‐infrared wavelengths. …”

Experimental Wing Damage Affects Foraging Effort and Foraging Distance in Honeybees Apis mellifera by Andrew D. Higginson, Christopher J. Barnard, Adam Tofilski, Luis Medina, Francis Ratnieks

“…Damaged bees carried out shorter and/or less frequent foraging trips, foraged closer to the hive, and reported the profitability of flower patches to be lower than did controls. These results suggest that wing damage caused a reduction in foraging ability, and that damaged bees adjusted their foraging behaviour accordingly. …”

The Tidal Torque Theory Revisited. I. Protohalo Angular Momentum by Eduard Salvador-Solé, Alberto Manrique

“…In tidal torque theory, the angular momentum (AM) of dark matter halos arises from the tidal torque suffered by aspherical collapsing patches due to surrounding mass fluctuations. This theory was implemented in the peak model, where protohalos are ellipsoidal. …”

Wearable Electrospun Nanofibrous Sensors for Health Monitoring by Nonsikelelo Sheron Mpofu, Tomasz Blachowicz, Andrea Ehrmann, Guido Ehrmann

“…The entire nanofiber mats are very thin and lightweight and, therefore, can be easily integrated into wearables such as textile fabrics or even patches. Nanofibrous sensors can be used not only to analyze sweat but also to detect physical parameters such as ECG or heartbeat, movements, or environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, etc., making them an interesting alternative to other wearables for continuous health monitoring. …”
