Azobenzene's Cross‐Scale Optics and Photonics: Molecular Photoswitching, Mesoscopic Material Motions, and Adaptive Devices

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Azobenzene photoswitches translate molecular‐scale E/Z photoisomerization into macroscopic material responses and device‐level photonic functions. This Review highlights how azobenzene research has evolved from molecular photochemistry to photoalignment, mass migration, photomechanics, and heat release, ultimately enabling holography, reconfigurable ...

Phase Engineering of Atomically Precise Nanoclusters (APNCs) of Gold and Beyond

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Engineering the structural phase of materials is of paramount importance for both fundamental research and practical applications. In this Review, we summarize the recent progress in controlling the phases of atomically precise nanoclusters (APNCs) of gold, silver and copper, as well as bimetallic systems. The phase‐enabled material properties of APNCs

An Improved Inequality for Balanced Incomplete Block Designs

The Annals of Mathematical Statistics, 1971
For a resolvable balanced incomplete block design (BIBD), Bose (1942) obtained an inequality $b \geqq v + r - 1$. Stanton (1957) showed that this inequality is equivalent to an inequality $r \geqq \lambda + k$. The main purpose of this note is to improve Bose's inequality to $b \geqq 2\nu + r - 2$ for a resolvable BIBD which is not affine resolvable.

Improved inequalities for balanced incomplete block designs

Discrete Mathematics, 1978
AbstractIt is known that there are some lower bounds for the number of blocks in a balanced incomplete block design (BIBD). Especially, Fisher's inequality b⩾v is well-known for a BIBD with parameters v, b, r, k and λ. Fisher's inequality can be improved upon if one puts additional restrictions on a BIBD.

Field‐Programmed Anisotropy in Magneto‐Piezoelectric Composites for Material‐Encoded Mechanoperception

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Field‐programmed anisotropy imparts material‐level intelligence to soft composites. Magnetic torque dynamics drive magneto‐piezoelectric nanowires from random dispersion into deterministic axial alignment. The resulting hierarchical percolation networks confine electromechanical coupling to specific axes and intrinsically decouple superposed force ...

Decoupling Activation and Preservation: Architectural Design Principles of Organic Frameworks for Selective Photocatalytic Methane Oxidation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Selective methane (CH4) photooxidation emerges from architectural decoupling of activation and preservation. Programmable organic semiconductor frameworks spatially organize oxidative flux and intermediate residence, separating reaction zones from product domains to synchronize activation strength with stabilization and establish a selective oxidation ...
