Aquatic macroinvertebrate colonization of artificial substrates in low-order streams by Luciene Ap. Leite-Rossi, Gisele Nunes Rodrigues, Susana Trivinho-Strixino

“…Data analysis indicated that macroinvertebrate fauna exhibited selectivity for different artificial substrate types in the streams studied. These results point to the need for knowledge of water body characteristics prior to study (e. g., types of substrates in stream beds and surrounding vegetation, etc.) in order to choose the types that are better colonized by specific groups of macroinvertebrates. …”

Nanoantennas and metasurfaces tailored by electron beam lithography and substrate conductivity by Li Liu, Aaron Holzer, Neal Raney, Viktoriia E. Babicheva

“…Titanium is chosen as a nanoantenna material because it provides robust operation in high-temperature environments and biologically relevant applications, while the supported multipolar resonances enhanced by the collective effect offer a versatile platform for engineering the metasurface spectral response. We demonstrate how substrate conductivity influences patterning outcomes, metasurface multipolar resonances, and manifestation of generalized Kerker effect, highlighting the need to carefully select exposure parameters and the underlying material. …”
