3D-printed aberration-free terahertz metalens for ultra-broadband achromatic super-resolution wide-angle imaging with high numerical aperture.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Terahertz (THz) lens constitutes a vital component in the THz system. Metasurfaces-based THz metalenses and classical bulky lenses are severely constrained by chromatic/ spherical aberration and the diffraction limit. Consequently, achromatic super-resolution THz lenses are urgently needed. In this study, through translating the required phase distribution into a refractive index (RI) profile with a specific thickness, an innovative approach to designing THz metalenses is proposed and achieved by dielectric gradient metamaterials. The samples fabricated by 3D printing can realize achromatic super focusing with a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.555 from 0.2 to 0.9 THz. Submillimeter features separated by approximately 0.2 mm can be resolved with high precision, such as glass fabric patterns within FR4 panels and fibrous tissue on leaves, with a field of view (FOV) of 90°. Our approach offers a feasible and cost-effective means to implement THz super-resolution imaging, which holds great potential in non-destructive testing and biomedical imaging.
