Neural array imaging, 13X thinner, overcomes the traditional trade-offs among aperture, field-of-view, bandwidth, and image quality in optics

https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1107673 "replaces large-aperture metalens with array of multiple small-aperture metalenses, preventing chromatic/ off-axis aberrations from severely escalating with increases in aperture size or FOV... reduced wavefront error from >90 to approximately 1 wavelength, reducing aberration, ensuring Modulation Transfer Function curve stays above noise-limited threshold, enhancing recoverability/ image quality... Multi-scale Feature-domain Wiener Deconvolution Deep Fusion Network: interpretable/ detail-preserving image reconstruction"

Five-fold increase in supercapacitor electrodes' carbon nanowall capacitance, by treating them with optimal dose of high-energy argon ions

https://phys.org/news/2025-12-argon-ion-treatment-carbon-nanowall.html "carbon nanowalls: vertically stacked 10-15 graphene sheets have large specific surface area for high capacitance... ion implantation allows for material's bulk treatment due to high penetrating capacity... also creates nanosized cavities in material's structure, which are then passivated in air by functional groups... 10¹⁴ ions/ cm2 optimal dose since aligns cavity size to that of electrolyte molecules enabling them to embed, providing nanostructuring further increases capacitance... works better than embedding heteroatoms"

High pressure increases THz 13X in 2D semiconductor gallium telluride, and enables fine tuning by manipulating crystal and electronic structure
