A physics-informed Airy beam learning framework for blockage avoidance in sub-terahertz wireless networks.
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 4 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
The line-of-sight blockage is one of the main challenges in sub-terahertz wireless networks. Interestingly, the extended near-field range of sub-terahertz nodes gives rise to near-field wavefront shaping as a feasible remedy to tackle this issue. Recently, Airy beams emerged as one promising solution that opens significant opportunities to circumvent blockers with unique self-accelerating properties and curved trajectories. Yet, to unleash the full potential of curved beams in practice, one fundamental challenge remains: How to find the best beam trajectory? In principle, an infinite number of trajectories can be engineered. To find the optimal trajectory, we develop a physics-informed machine-learning framework for Airy beam shaping based on a detailed understanding of near-field electromagnetics, ray optics, and wave optics. The experimental results indicate that Airy beams, when correctly configured, can substantially increase the link budget under high-blockage scenarios even compared to near-field beam focusing, providing insight into coverage expansion and blind-spot reduction.
