The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has increased
demands for surgical and respirator masks for healthcare workers (HCWs) and other …

The development of flat, compact beam‐steering devices with no bulky moving parts is opening
up a new route to a variety of exciting applications, such as LIDAR scanning systems for …

At variance with expensive and time-consuming fabrication methods used in the microelectronic
industry, material micro/nanostructuration using colloidal particles has become a …

We propose the Transmission of Virus in Carriages (TVC) model, a computational model
which simulates the potential exposure to SARS‐CoV‐2 for passengers traveling in a subway …

Bacterial transmission from contaminated surfaces via hand contact plays a critical role in
disease spread. However, the fomite‐to‐finger transfer efficiency of microorganisms during …

The ability to rapidly switch between orbital angular momentum modes of light has
important implications for future classical and quantum systems. In general, orbital angular …

Quantification of the parameters influencing airborne infection risks associated with indoor
activities in different settings can help in understanding outbreak dynamics and the effective …

Cytokines elicit pleiotropic and non-redundant activities despite strong overlap in their usage
of receptors, JAKs and STATs molecules. We use IL-6 and IL-27 to ask how two cytokines …

Enhanced light harvesting is an area of interest for optimizing both natural photosynthesis
and artificial solar energy capture 1, 2. Iridescence has been shown to exist widely and in …

Current microbial exposure models assume that microbial exchange follows a concentration
gradient during hand-to-surface contacts. Our objectives were to evaluate this assumption …
