Beam splitters are widely used in various optical systems, but traditional beam splitters are bulky and heavy, which are not conducive to the integrated utilization of optical devices. Metamaterials have attracted extensive attention as a kind of miniature artificial materials, and there have been many works on the design of metasurface beam splitters. Using metasurfaces, multiple functions of traditional beam splitters can be achieved. Meanwhile, metasurface beam splitters have the advantages of small size, easy integration, flexible design of beam-splitting performance, and tunable functions. This review surveys the current work on metasurface beam splitters and provides a classification and introduction to metasurface beam splitters. Metasurface beam splitters are expected to play a huge role in interferometers, multiplexing, multi-beam communications, and more.

A method to conformally coat silica nanosprings with magnesium via sublimation at 450oC has been developed. In addition, Mg thin films were grown on Si(100) using this method to determine the effects of substrate morphology (nanoscale curvatures vs. planar) on the interfacial morphology of the Mg coating. High-resolution/powder X-ray diffraction (HRXRD/PXRD) on both the Mg-coated NS and the thin film revealed the presence of Mgand MgO due to exposure of the samples to air. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) confirmed the presence of Mg on the nanosprings. Elemental mapping with TEM-EDS verified that Mg uniformity and conformally coats the nanosprings. Nanocrystallinity of the Mg coating on the nanosprings was determined to be polycrystalline by TEM and selected area electron diffraction (SAED). In contrast, the process produces large micron-scale crystals on planar surfaces.

We studied two main bioactive molecules of oregano, carvacrol and thymol, in the present work. These bioactive conformers are linked to single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) and so-called functionalized SWCNT (f-SWCNT) to find their application as anti-inflammatory drugs. We use the multiscale methods and the density functional theory (DFT) of formalism to achieve this aim. We have proposed two nanocarriers based on a finite size model of a metallic single wall carbon nanotube linked to carvacrol and thymol (with a size around 2.74 nm): the main bioactives present in oregano. The results show that the proposed molecules, Carva-SWCNT-Gluc and Thymol-SWCNT-Gluc, can be synthesized with the exposed condensation reaction; with an exergonic and spontaneous behavior, Gibbs free energies of the reaction are −1.75 eV and −1.81 eV, respectively. The studied molecules are subjected to an electronic characterization, considering the global descriptors based on the conceptual DFT formalism. Moreover, the results show that the studied molecules can present a possible biocompatibility due to the higher polarization of the molecule and the increase in apparent solubility. Finally, the interaction between the studied nanodevices (Carva-SWCNT-Gluc and Thymol-SWCNT-Gluc) with cancer and anti-inflammatory targets shows that the hydrogen bond and electrostatic interactions play a crucial role in the ligand–target interaction. The proposed f-SWCNT presents higher potentiality as a carrier vector nanodevice since it can deliver the oregano bioactives on the studied targets, promoting the putative apoptosis of neoplastic cells and simultaneously regulating the inflammatory process.

Early diagnosis is the key to easy, low cost, and effective treatment of breast cancer. Therefore, studies have been accelerated to identify breast cancer diagnostic biomarkers and diagnose cancer before it progresses. The use of miR-155 as a potential biomarker in breast cancer, which has different levels at different stages of the disease, provides a simple serological test for breast cancer prognosis/diagnosis, follow-up, and treatment. Nanopolymers containing different functional groups that are formed by thiol affinity technique were synthesized by mini emulsion polymerization method and advanced characterization studies were carried out in this study to be used as bioactive layers in the nanobiosensor system for miRNA detection. The working conditions of the electrochemical nanobiosensor in which nanopolymers are used as bioactive layers were optimized. Analytical measurement characteristics and validation studies of the nanobiosensor were determined and analysis was performed on commercial blood serum. The potential of the developed electrochemical biosensor to be used as a medical diagnostic kit was explained by comparing it with commercial miRNA kit currently used for the detection of miR-155. This novel nanobiosensor provide sensitive, reliable, and rapid detection of miR-155 and it can provide the potential for breast cancer early diagnosis, prognosis, and follow-up.

In this work, the adsorption energies and some of the main electronic properties of selected biological molecules adsorbed onto a (TiO2)20 cluster were studied. With this aim, Density-Functional Theory (DFT) calculations were performed using SIESTA code. The Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof (PBE) functional within the Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA) was used for the exchange and correlation potential. For this study, we chose molecules with very different characteristics and applications in everyday life, including antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, vitamins, and so on. The TiO2 substrate was considered due to its harmlessness and versatility of application in various industries. In particular, we studied the changes in some of the main electronic properties of the molecules after adsorption onto titanium dioxide. For all of the molecules studied here, we observed that this substrate can increase the stability of the adsorbed molecules, with values in the range of 12–150 meV/atom. The reliability of our calculations was verified through additional optimizations with other DFT codes, considering the hybrid functionals B3LYP and M06-L. Our results showed a reasonably good agreement among these three functionals, thereby revealing the possibility of adsorption of the selected biological molecules onto the vertex of the TiO2 nanoclusters. Some of these molecules were considered as possible candidates for the delivery of drugs into the SARS-CoV-2 main protease, promoting the inhibition of this virus. We are not aware of any systematic study that has focused on the adsorption of the selected molecules on a (TiO2)20 substrate within the same framework, including the analysis of the differences in electronic properties through the use of different functionals.
