Optical vector analysis with attometer resolution, 90-dB dynamic range and THz bandwidth

by Ting Qing

Nature Communications, Published online: 13 November 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-13129-x

Typical methods for optical vector analysis have tradeoffs among resolution, dynamic range, and bandwidth. The authors use an asymmetric optical probe signal generator and receiver to perform attometer resolution measurement over a THz of bandwidth while maintaining high dynamic range, aiming to characterize emerging optical devices.

Renal clearable nanochelators for iron overload therapy

by Homan Kang

Nature Communications, Published online: 13 November 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-13143-z

The build-up of iron in the body can have serious consequences; current treatment therapies suffer from adverse side effects and toxicity. Here, the authors developed renal clearable nanochelators with improved pharmacodynamics and demonstrated their efficacy and safety in iron overload animal models.
