Cache-Aided General Linear Function Retrieval (open access)

Cache-Aided General Linear Function Retrieval

This article designs a novel coded caching scheme that outperforms uncoded caching schemes that either use unicast transmissions or let each user recover all files in the library. It extends the scope of the authors’ past work that only considered the class of linear functions that operate element-wise over the files.

Experimental Validation of Diffraction Lithography for Fabrication of Solid Microneedles (open access)

Experimental Validation of Diffraction Lithography for Fabrication of Solid Microneedles

Article states that microneedles are highly sought after for medicinal and cosmetic applications. However, the current manufacturing process for microneedles remains complicated, hindering its applicability to a broader variety of applications. This experimental study enables the shapes and mechanical properties of the microneedles to be predicted in advance for mass production and wide practical use for biomedical or cosmetic applications.
