Could Edible Photonic Structures Be an Alternative to Traditional Food Coloring?

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
What if color in food came from photonic structures? This perspective introduces structural color as a potential next‐generation solution to replace conventional colorants in foods. It discusses edible photonic materials, their unique benefits, and the technological, safety, and consumer acceptance challenges that must be addressed to bring this ...

Ultrabroadband Excitation of Hot Carriers in Plasmonic Nanorods Revealed by Two‐Dimensional Electronic Spectroscopy

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
This work dissects the ultrafast response of polydisperse plasmonic nanorods using two‐dimensional electronic spectroscopy, uniquely combining temporal and spectral resolution. Our ultrabroadband pulses cover both transverse and longitudinal nanorods’ resonances, revealing sub‐200‐fs dynamics and distinct broadening mechanisms.

Unlocking Two‐Photon Chiral Signatures in DNA‐Stabilized Silver Nanoclusters: Two‐Photon Circular Dichroism and Circularly Polarized Luminescence

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Chiroptical properties of DNA‐stabilized silver nanocluster (DNA)2​[Ag16​Cl2​]8+ are presented in linear and nonlinear regime. These water‐soluble, NIR‐emitting nanoprobes demonstrate exceptionally high two‐photon circular dichroism and circularly polarized luminescence brightness.

Versatile Gasochromic Hydrogen Detection via Supraparticle‐Based Applied Composite Materials

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Silica‐platinum‐resazurin supraparticles are embedded into PMMA to form suprabeads and thin films. The thereby obtained indicators change color from purple to pink to colorless on hydrogen exposure. The indicator systems are tested under various environmental conditions, and their performance is related to their microscopically visualized structure ...
