Stimuli‐Responsive Hydrogels for Optical Applications: Mechanisms, Architectures, and Translational Challenges

open access: yesAggregate, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
The review discusses stimuli‐responsive hydrogels as soft optical materials that translate physical, chemical, and biological cues into refractive‐index, scattering, birefringence, diffraction, and transparency changes. It examines major stimulus classes and photonic architectures for biosensing, waveguiding, adaptive lenses, smart windows, and therapy.

Ion‐Pairing and Counterion Effects in Contemporary Photochemistry

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie Novit, Volume 2, Issue 2, June 2026.
Ion‐pairing and counterion effects have emerged as fundamental yet underexplored determinants of photochemical behavior. Far from inert, counterions, and Coulombic interactions modulate excited‐state dynamics, quenching efficiencies, emission, and catalytic pathways.
