Modulation of glucose metabolism by a natural compound from Chloranthus japonicus via activation of AMP-activated protein kinase.

abstract：:Epsilon-Near-Zero materials exhibit a transition in the real part of the dielectric permittivity from positive to negative value as a function of wavelength. Here we study metal-dielectric layered metamaterials in the homogenised regime (each layer has strongly subwavelength thickness) with zero real part of the permi...
