TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that dielectric nanoparticles can exhibit a radiationless anapole mode in visible, and achieve the spectral overlap of the toroidal and electric dipole modes through a geometry tuning, and observe a highly pronounced dip in the far-field scattering accompanied by the specific near-field distribution associated with the anapoles.

TL;DR: A physical mechanism that suppresses this scattering has been reported that could lead to improved optical devices and increase the quality factor of an optical resonator.

TL;DR: In this paper, numerically small-amplitude oscillations in capped single-walled carbon nanotubes were studied and the existence of surface modes localized at the capped tips of the carbon tubes was predicted.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated numerically that partially incoherent light can be trapped in the spectral band gaps of a photonic lattice, creating partially incoherence multi-component spatial optical solitons in a self-defocusing nonlinear periodic medium.

TL;DR: It is shown that dark solitons display an inherent instability for a strong saturation of the nonlinear refractive index provided that the background intensity exceeds a certain critical value.
