The main objective of a recently undertaken project by Professor Leonard Chavas’s group at Synchrotron Radiation Research Center, Nagoya University, was to create COC microfluidic apparatuses for in situ diffraction investigations at hard X-ray synchrotron sources, as well as diffusion-based macromolecular crystallography. The research findings were published in MDPI-Micromachines.

A study published in Crystals has reappraised Norman Hartshorne's optical textures from The Microscopy of Liquid Crystals. It proposed that the unique striated pattern of columnar textures is due to the molecular columns producing twisted ropes inside the domains.
If one wishes to use light efficiently, whether, in photosynthesis or a photovoltaic system, it must be absorbed completely.

In an article published in Energies, researchers characterized and compared the microstructural features of the main morphotypes occurring in the char obtained at 850–950 °C by fluidized bed gasification of lignite from the "Szczerców" deposit (Central Poland), bringing new insights into the knowledge on the origin of these morphotypes.
A research team from Florida State University has discovered a new method for generating blue light from a family of materials that has tremendous potential for optoelectronic devices, such as solar cells, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and lasers.
For many imaging applications, including photo-taking, sensing, and endoscopy, optical lenses have been indispensable.
The development of cryptographic keys for traditional and quantum cryptography systems, the dependability of today’s modern networked society, stochastic simulation, etc. depend on random numbers.
The classification of geometric structures in mathematics gave rise to topology, which has since then dominated a number of disciplines of physics, including topological acoustics, topological optics, topological circuits, etc.
In a pre-proof from Spectrochimica Acta Part B: Atomic Spectroscopy journal, researchers have presented a handheld XRF spectrometer's optimization and calibration methodology and its application in the elemental quantification of unknown particulate matter samples.
In an article published in the journal Cryogenics, researchers presented the results of simulations and experimental tests of the shadow sensors embedded in the Birmingham Optical Sensors and Electromagnetic Motors (BOSEMs) to establish whether BOSEMs are suitable candidates for cryogenic applications.
In an article published in the journal Cancers, researchers have developed a novel portable optical polarization imaging (OPI) device for the non-invasive, rapid, and in vivo identification of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) margins.

In a paper published in the journal Sensors, researchers investigated an asymmetric frequency stabilization method to stabilize a laser gyroscope's self-biasing state.
In a study published in Remote Sensing, researchers introduced a novel absorbing aerosol index (AAI) retrieval algorithm based on an environmental trace gases monitoring instrument (EMI). EMI AAI algorithm could efficiently detect large aerosol events to reconstruct the spatial variability of ultraviolet-absorbing aerosols.
A recent study conducted at the GEP research platform and published in Expert Systems with Applications investigated the effects of dust accumulation on the reflectivity parameter of optical mirrors.
