Article Abstract
The low photosensitivity of phenanthraquinone-doped poly(methyl methacrylate) (PQ/PMMA) severely limits its recording speed for holographic data storage. A high-performance holographic recording medium based on a unique combination of -methylpyrrolidone (NMP) regulated PQ/PMMA has been developed. A NMP-PQ/PMMA photopolymer with high sensitivity, high diffraction efficiency and negligible volume shrinkage was successfully fabricated by tuning the composition of the PMMA matrix by varying the ratio of NMP to monomers. The photosensitivity is increased by 6.9 times (from 0.27 cm J to 1.86 cm J), the diffraction efficiency is increased from 60% to > 80%, and volume shrinkage is decreased by a factor of 2 (from 0.4% to 0.2%). Further investigation revealed that the addition of NMP significantly reduced the molecular weight of PMMA and increased the amount of MMA residuals, while also improving the solubility of PQ molecules. More interestingly, for the first time, the NMP-PQ/PMMA material could record data information repeatedly at least 6 times. The present study elucidates that the introduction of NMP not only modulates the molecular weight of PMMA but also enables the residual monomer MMA to more easily combine with PQ to form a photoproduct for improved holographic performance.

Terahertz communication systems demand versatile devices capable of simultaneously controlling propagating waves and surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in far-field (FF) and near-field (NF) channels, yet existing solutions are constrained by volatile operation, single-function limitations, and the inability to integrate NF and FF functionalities. Here, we present a nonvolatile reconfigurable terahertz metasurface platform leveraging the phase-change material GeSbTe(GST) to achieve on-demand dual-channel modulation-a first in the terahertz regime. By exploiting the stark conductivity contrast of GST between amorphous and crystalline states, our design enables energy-efficient switching between NF-SPP manipulation and FF-wavefront engineering without requiring continuous power input.

Significance: Accurate cell classification is essential in disease diagnosis and drug screening. Three-dimensional (3D) voxel models derived from holographic tomography effectively capture the internal structural features of cells, enhancing classification accuracy. However, their high dimensionality leads to significant increases in data volume, computational complexity, processing time, and hardware costs, which limit their practical applicability.

Background: Microsurgical resection of thalamic tumors requires precise anatomical knowledge and meticulous preoperative planning. Given the complexity of thalamic surgery, selecting an optimal surgical approach demands an accurate three-dimensional understanding of relevant structures. Advanced imaging post-processing, including three-dimensional (3D) model construction, can aid surgical planning and mental rehearsal of the procedure.

Deep Inferior Epigastric Artery perforator flaps (DIEP flaps) have become the gold standard in autologous breast reconstruction; yet they remain complex procedures due to highly individual perforator anatomy. Increasingly, computed tomography (CT) angiography is used for preoperative planning but is conventionally viewed on 2D screens in black and white. With the rise of Virtual and Mixed Reality, early case studies have demonstrated the utility of 3D-Mixed Reality headsets for DIEP flap planning by immersively exploring projections of perforator anatomy.
