A small zero-order resonant antenna based on the composite right-left-handed (CRLH) principle is designed and fabricated without metallic vias at 30 GHz to have patch-like radiation. The mirror images of two CRLH structures are connected to design the antenna without via holes. The equivalent circuit, parameter extraction, and dispersion diagram are studied to analyze the characteristics of the CRLH antenna. The antenna was fabricated and experimentally verified. The measured realized gain of the antenna is 5.35 dBi at 30 GHz. The designed antenna is free of spurious resonance over a band width of 10 GHz. A passive beamforming array is designed using the proposed CRLH antenna and the Butler matrix. A substrate integrated waveguide is used to implement the Butler matrix. The CRLH antennas are connected to four outputs of a 4×4 Butler matrix. The scanning angles are 12∘, -68∘, 64∘, and -11∘ for excitations from port 1 to port 4 of the 4×4 Butler matrix feeding the CRLH antenna.

Patients with cartilage defects often experience increased meniscal degeneration. It remains unclear whether meniscal damage occurs concurrently with cartilage injury or due to later joint pathology. Limited data exists on how isolated cartilage injuries affect meniscal structure and degeneration.

In this paper, we present a compact three-dimensional hemispherical reconfigurable antenna system designed for 5G networks operating around 3.6 GHz. The proposed architecture combines a four-element Vivaldi antenna array with a passive [Formula: see text] Butler matrix to enable electronically switchable beams in three main directions: upward, rightward, and backward.

Current memristor technologies remain limited by instability, high operating voltage, and low switching ratio, primarily due to stochastic filament formation and defect migration. Here, a fundamentally different electrochemical mechanism is proposed through the development of a plating/stripping memristor (PSM) featuring stable, low-voltage, and bio-inspired conductance switching. Constructed with Zn/Cu electrodes and a deep eutectic gel electrolyte (DEGE), the PSM accurately emulates spike-rate-dependent plasticity and long-term synaptic dynamics.

Aging leads to a decline in physiological reserves, an increase in age-related diseases, reduced functional ability and a shortened healthspan. While molecular markers of chronological aging exist, their link to general health and intrinsic capacity (IC), a composite measure of physical and mental capacities, remains unclear. This study integrates the WHO's Healthy Aging framework with geroscience to explore fibroblasts as indicators of health.
