Dual-wavelength metalens enables Epi-fluorescence detection from single molecules

Researchers developed an ultra-thin lens device — thinner than a human hair — that can detect and track individual fluorescent molecules and nanoparticles, including those ranging from just a few nanometers to hundreds of nanometers in size. This technology could enable portable, miniaturized sensors for environmental monitoring of nanoscale pollutants like nanoplastics.

Chronic Oral Exposure to Oxidized Polyethylene Microplastics Induces Goblet Cell Loss and Gut Microbiota Dysbiosis in Female Mice

Analysis of Transformation Plasticity in Steel Using a Finite Element Method Coupled with a Phase Field Model

This computational materials science paper develops a finite element model coupled with a phase field model to simulate transformation plasticity in low-carbon steel during austenite-to-ferrite phase transformation. It is a structural materials modeling study with no connection to environmental microplastic research.
