Optical vortex (OV) beams are widely used for the generation of light fields with transverse energy flow inducing orbital motion of the nano- and microparticles in the transverse plane. Here, we present some new modifications of OV beams with autofocusing properties for shaping complex transverse energy flow distributions varying in space. The angular component of the complex amplitude of these beams is defined by the superpositions of OV beams with different topological charges. The proposed approach provides a convenient method to control the three-dimensional structure of the generated autofocusing OV beams. The control of the transverse distribution of an autofocusing beam provides a wide variety of generated fields with both rotating and periodic properties, which can be used in the field of laser manipulation and laser material processing. Thus, the obtained numerical results predict different types of motion of the trapped particles for the designed OV autofocusing beams. The experimental results agree with modeling results and demonstrate the principal possibility to shape such laser beams using spatial light modulators.

Objectives: Left ventricular vortex dynamics play a crucial role in cardiac function but are significantly altered by mitral valve diseases or surgical interventions. Such hemodynamic changes may lead to maladaptive intracardiac vortices, potentially triggering pathways associated with progressive left ventricular remodeling and thrombosis. This study assessed left ventricular hemodynamics under both physiological and pathological conditions using a biohybrid in vitro platform, aiming to analyze the impact of these conditions on cardiac function.

Introduction: Ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures (IFN-SFs) caused by high-energy trauma pose a significant risk of complications related to bone healing. Prompt identification of fracture types and maintenance of fracture fixation stability can mitigate this risk. This study employed finite element analysis to evaluate biomechanical parameters for the stability of fixation in IFN-SFs and quantify differences in biomechanical stability among various fracture types.

8-Pmmn borophene is a very attractive 2D material from both the fundamental and technological standpoints. Its tilted band structure gives rise to exotic phenomena such as the oblique Klein tunneling and its gated junction directional dependence represents an additional degree of freedom that can be used to modulate the spin-valley electronic transport. Spin and valley polarization are possible in ferromagnetic 8-Pmmn borophene junctions by having precise control of the transverse wave vector as well as by appropriately tuning the electrostatic and magnetic gating.

Smart windows automatically adjust their properties to control infrared (IR) radiation which helps with saving energy by reducing the need for heating and cooling. In the current study, we use vanadium dioxide (VO), a phase change material that in temperatures above 68 °C behaves as a metal, to design smart windows. In its metallic phase, VO transmits less IR than would be expected from a smart window.

Background: Yttrium-90 (Y) microsphere radioembolization has shown unique advantages in treating both primary and metastatic liver cancer and was introduced into China in 2022. Despite the development of various dosimetric models-ranging from empirical to voxel-based approaches-practical implementation remains challenging. With over 370,000 new liver cancer cases annually and limited access to certified Y treatment centers, Chinese interventional oncology departments face increasing pressure to balance dosimetric accuracy with clinical efficiency.
