Article Abstract
Much of the richness and variety of physics today are based on coupling phenomena where multiple interacting systems hybridize into new ones with completely distinct attributes. Recent development in building van der Waals (vdWs) heterostructures from different 2D materials provides exciting possibilities in realizing novel coupling phenomena in a designable manner. Here, with a graphene/hBN/graphene heterostructure, we report near-field infrared nano-imaging of plasmon-plasmon coupling in two vertically separated graphene layers. Emergent symmetric and anti-symmetric coupling modes are directly observed simultaneously. Coupling and decoupling processes are systematically investigated with experiment, simulation and theory. The reported interlayer plasmon-plasmon coupling could serve as an extra degree of freedom to control light propagation at the deep sub-wavelength scale with low loss and provide exciting opportunities for optical chip integration.

In this article, a biophysically realistic model of a soft octopus arm with internal musculature is presented. The modeling is motivated by experimental observations of sensorimotor control where an arm localizes and reaches a target. Major contributions of this article are: (i) development of models to capture the mechanical properties of arm musculature, the electrical properties of the arm peripheral nervous system (PNS), and the coupling of PNS with muscular contractions; (ii) modeling the arm sensory system, including chemosensing and proprioception; and (iii) algorithms for sensorimotor control, which include a novel feedback neural motor control law for mimicking target-oriented arm reaching motions, and a novel consensus algorithm for solving sensing problems such as locating a food source from local chemical sensory information (exogenous) and arm deformation information (endogenous).

Wearable sweat sensors offer noninvasive health monitoring through multiplexed biomarker analysis, delivering real-time diagnostics with continuous operational capability. However, chronic cutaneous interface hydration during prolonged monitoring induces adhesive delamination phenomena that manifest as signal attenuation, which fundamentally limits their clinical reliability. To address this challenge, we developed a thermodynamically adaptive polymer interface combining three functional components: mussel-inspired catechol moieties for moisture-tolerant adhesion, hydrophobic acrylates ensuring mechanical stability, and N-isopropylacrylamide enabling thermal responsiveness.

Coarsening and degradation phenomena in metals have largely focused on thermally driven processes, such as bulk and surface diffusion. However, dramatic coarsening has been reported in high-surface-area, nanometer-sized Pt-based catalysts during potential cycling in an electrolyte at room temperature─a temperature too low for the process to be explained purely by surface mobility values measured in both vacuum and electrolytes (∼10 and ∼10 cm/s, respectively). This morphological evolution must be due to a different mechanism for mass transport that is sensitive to electrochemical conditions (e.

Holography is a promising approach to recreate lifelike 3D scenes. However, due to the current Spatial Light Modulators (SLMs) lacking sufficient pixels, the defocused planes of holograms always exhibit obvious interference phenomena. The methods based on random phase can alleviate this problem, but they always affect the imaging quality of the focal plane.

Recent findings suggest that higher-order (group) interactions provide a general pathway to explosive phenomena in networks of coupled oscillators. While these abrupt, first-order transitions, termed explosive synchronization, are of significant theoretical interest, they are often undesirable and potentially dangerous in many real-world systems. Motivated by this, we investigate a control mechanism to suppress explosive synchronization in adaptive multilayer networks incorporating higher-order interactions by introducing a phase lag into the system.
