The Side-Release Method Measures the High-Pressure Sound Velocity of Iron Using Line-Spatially Resolved DISAR by Long Chen, Cangli Liu, Longhuang Tang, Heli Ma, Xing Jia, Tianjiong Tao, Shenggang Liu, Yongchao Chen, Xiang Wang, Jian Wu, Chengjun Li, Dameng Liu, Jidong Weng, Huan Liu

“…At present, the measurement of sound velocity is usually carried out by the catch-up sparse wave method and windowed VISAR technology, which is complex in structure and not highly adaptable. In particular, for the ultra-high pressure sonic velocity measurement of metals, it is limited by the loading platform and window materials and cannot realize the high temperature and high-pressure environment of the earth’s inner core. …”

Development and Optimization of Micro‐Nanotopographical Platforms for Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering Biomolecular Detection by David Femi Odetade, Jonathan J. S. Rickard, Pola Goldberg Oppenheimer

“…While the coaxial SERS substrates consistently outperformed their solid counterparts, the hexagonal micro‐nano topologies exhibited ×21 higher signal than coaxial square arrays and a 12‐15‐fold increase over the triangle structures. Alternation of the topological designs from square to triangle lattice yielded more uniform plasmonic modes propagating along the 60°‐directions with various resonance modes playing key roles in light reflectance. …”
