Biomimetic Iridescent Skin: Robust Prototissues Spontaneously Assembled from Photonic Protocells

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Uniform nanoparticles are induced to form arrays (photonic crystals) in the cores of biopolymer capsules, endowing these ‘protocells’ with structural color. These protocells are then assembled into large self‐standing objects, i.e., prototissues, with robust mechanical properties as well as iridescent optical properties.

Integrated Metallo‐Dielectric 3D Hotspots From High Refractive Index Nanodiamond‐Plasmonic Gold Cryosoret Nano‐Assemblies for Photonic Crystal Enhanced Fluorescence

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents a novel sensing platform using metallo‐dielectric cryosoret nano‐assemblies and lossless photonic crystals to overcome limitations of conventional plasmonic biosensors. The hybrid system enhances both electric and magnetic field interactions, enabling amplified fluorescence, ultralow detection limits, and prism‐free, objective‐free ...

Anisotropic Shear Properties of Organic Interfaces in Bio‐composite Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A novel cantilever design enables direct probing of shear properties at single organic interfaces within biocomposite prismatic ultrastructures. By decoupling lateral and torsional shear responses, the method reveals isotropic behavior in Atrina vexillum and pronounced anisotropy in Unio pictorum.

Photoresponsive Gas‐Permeable Membranes: Fundamentals, Innovations, and Prospects

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Photoresponsive gas‐permeable membranes can be potentially used for smart packing, carbon capture, hydrogen purification, and optical gas valves due to their remote and non‐contact activation, precise spatial and temporal control, and reversible switching capabilities.

Locking Metastable Topological Domains in Nematic Liquid Crystal Pi Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Selective photopolymerization in the presence of a controlled voltage defines permanent director walls that lock‐in metastable bend and twist configurations within nematic liquid crystal Pi cells. Q‐tensor simulations corroborate the experiments, demonstrating the topological state stabilization.

Label‐Free and Low‐Power Driven Cancer Biomarker Detection Enabled by 2D Hexagonal Titanium Oxide

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A low‐power driven FET biosensor based on 2D hexagonal TiO2 detects the cancer biomarker carcinoembryonic antigen with high sensitivity, a low detection limit of 0.22 pg mL−1, and excellent selectivity. Leveraging the unique electronic properties of the material, this work demonstrates strong potential for integration into miniature and portable cancer
