Supraparticles are coordinated assemblies of discrete nanoscale building blocks into complex and hierarchical colloidal superstructures. Holistic optical responses in such assemblies are not observed in an individual building block or in their bulk counterparts. Furthermore, subwavelength dimensions of the unit building blocks enable engraving opti...

Kunjin virus (KUNV) is an attenuated strain of the severe neurotropic West Nile virus (WNV). The virus has a single-strand positive-sense RNA genome that encodes a polyprotein. Following gene expression, the polyprotein is cleaved into structural proteins for viral packaging and nonstructural proteins for viral replication and expression. Removal o...
High Tech industry is looking to push the bounds of what is possible, this requires machines that run with ever increasing speed and precision for longer amount of time under progressively more hostile environments. These requirements necessitate the use of compliant mechanisms/flexures instead of traditional rigid body counterparts. However, as th...

A survey was conducted to determine the content of cyclopropane fatty acids (CPFAs) and ω-cyclohexyl fatty acids (CHFAs) by using gas chromatography- mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) techniques in various meat samples from different species, including commercial samples and complex and thermally processed pro...

Here, we review some of the recent developments in quantum optics. After a brief introduction to the historical development of the subject, we discuss some of the modern aspects of quantum optics including atom field interactions, quantum state engineering, metamaterials and plasmonics, optomechanical systems, PT (parity-time) symmetry in quantum o...

The ability to apply force and torque directly to micro- and nanoscale particles in optical traps has a wide range of applications. While full control of both force and torque in three dimensions has been realized using top-down fabrication of rod-shaped particles composed of birefringent crystalline materials, widespread usage of such particles is...

Random jammed dipole scatterers are natural composite and common byproducts of various chemical synthesis techniques. They often form complex aggregates with nontrivial correlations that influence the effective dielectric description of the medium. In this work, we investigate the packing dynamic of rectangular nanostructure under a close packing p...

The scaling down of meta-atoms or metamolecules (collectively denoted as metaunits) is a long-lasting issue from the time when the concept of metamaterials was first suggested. According to the effective medium theory, which is the foundational concept of metamaterials, the structural sizes of meta-units should be much smaller than the working wave...

A colloidal solution of nanophotonic structures exhibiting optical magnetism is dubbed a liquid-phase metamaterial or an optical metafluid. Over the decades, plasmonic nanoclusters have been explored as constituents of a metafluid. However, optical magnetism of plasmonic nanoclusters is usually much weaker than the electric responses; the highest r...
