Confined hyperbolic metasurface modes for structured illumination microscopy

Abstract

Plasmonic hyperbolic metasurfaces have emerged as an effective platform for manipulating the propagation of light. Here, confined modes on arrays of silver nanoridges that exhibit hyperbolic dispersion are used to demonstrate and model a super-resolution imaging technique based on structured illumination microscopy. A spatial resolution of ∼75 nm at 458 nm is demonstrated, which is 3.1 times better than an equivalent diffraction limited image. This work emphasizes the ability to engineer the properties of confined optical modes and to leverage those characteristics for applications in imaging. The results of this work could lead to improved approaches for super-resolution imaging using designed sub-wavelength structures.

Large language models for transportation research: Methodologies, state of the art, and future opportunities

The rapid rise of large language models (LLMs) is transforming transportation research, with significant advancements emerging between 2023 and 2025, a period marked by the inception and swift growth of adopting and adapting LLMs for various transportation applications. Despite these significant advancements, however, a systematic review and synthesis of the existing literature remains lacking. This paper aims to fill this gap by providing a comprehensive review of the methodologies and applications of LLMs in transportation. We explore key applications, including autonomous driving, travel behavior prediction, and general transportation-related queries, alongside LLM methodologies such as zero- or few-shot learning, prompt engineering, and fine-tuning. From the review, critical research gaps are identified. From the methodological perspective, many of the research limitations can be addressed by integrating LLMs with existing tools and refining LLM architectures. From the application perspective, research opportunities for LLMs to address various transportation challenges are also explored. By synthesizing these findings, this review not only presents the state-of-the-art LLM adoption and adaptation in transportation, but also proposes future research directions as well as insights and recommendations for policymakers and practitioners, paving the way for greater LLM-driven research innovations in transportation in the future.
