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

“…Alloptical modulation is control of the phase or intensity of one light beam by another.1 Although modulation can be achieved using nonlinear optical materials, it can be also obtained using constructive or destructive interference of a coherent beam. …”

Non-contact actuated snap-through buckling of a pre-buckled bistable hard-magnetic elastica by Zhang, Yingchao, Ma, Yinji, Yu, Jing, Gao, Huajian

“…We identify an optimal position for the single M−interface and direction for the uniform actuation field for pre-buckled beams with two-ends fixed, which can reduce the required actuation field for snapping to nearly half in comparison with the symmetric cases. …”

A signal through the noise: accurate determination of hydrogen atom positions in crystal structures and optimisation of Laue neutron diffraction methods by Sackman, GA

“…This focuses on:</p> <p>Recommendations for the efficient collection of Laue neutron data, in order to optimise the data set completeness and awarded beam-time; strategic considerations for how to best answer the scientific question(s) at hand in a Laue neutron experiment, whilst planning against future contingencies; improving methods for crystal packing and shipping, particularly for air and moisture sensitive materials; discussing issues arising from ice forming on the crystal during a Laue neutron diffraction experiment, and methods for minimising this problem; more effectively modelling disorder using ring shapes, in the crystallographic refinement package CRYSTALS; providing rationale for Laue neutron specific checkCIF comments.…”

A study on the use of femtosecond laser to perform surface polishing on a selective laser melting manufactured type 316L stainless steel by Ong, Kenrick Jin Hao

“…The laser is an ultra-short pulsed Ti:Sapphire diode laser which removes material by ablation. The problem is to check the effects of femtosecond (fs) laser used on laser polishing of a SLM SS316L sample. …”
