100 THz optical switching with plasmonic metamaterial by Venkatram, Nalla, Stefano, Vezzol, João, Valente, Sun, Handong, Nikolay, Zheludev

“…In coherent perfect absorption, the interference of two counter-propagating coherent beams on a highly absorbing material of sub- wavelength thickness can either lead to nearly total transmission or to nearly total absorption of the incident light, depending on their mutual intensity and phase.1 A device based on coherent absorption has the advantage of being compact, fast, and intrinsically low power while demonstrating large modulations of light. …”

Organic solvent-assisted control of hydrogel structures and properties by Zhou, Quan

“…However, major limitations still exist for hydrogels, especially their mechanical weakness, which limits their use in load-bearing applications. In addition, due to their soft and wet nature, it remains technically challenging to generate hydrogel structures with complex geometries as the well-established techniques developed for shaping traditional engineering materials, such as machining and lithography, are no longer useful. …”
