Nanothermometry in Living Cells: Physical Limits, Conceptual and Material Challenges
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Heat and temperature are fundamental to life. When nanothermometers began probing regions as small as a living cell, they triggered controversial claims of large intracellular temperature gradients. We review physical constraints energy‐conservation, entropy production, thermodynamic fluctuations, and molecular dynamics.

Human supervision and microprocessor control of an optical tracking system [PDF]
, 1981 Gunners using small calibre anti-aircraft systems have not been able to track high-speed air targets effectively. Substantial improvement in the accuracy of surface fire against attacking aircraft has been realized through the design of a director-type ...

Speckle‐Engineered Upconversion Amplification in Nanoemulsion‐Templated Hydrogel Microdomes
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Nanoemulsion‐confined PEGDA microdomes generate speckle‐like excitation fields that strongly amplify upconversion luminescence upon dehydration, enabling filter‐free visible readout with reversible on–off switching. DMD‐based lithography yields scalable, shape‐programmable arrays for moisture‐responsive displays and optical encryption.

Light‐Harvesting Photothermal Hotspots Enabled by NIR Scattering‐Absorption Coupling
Advanced Science, EarlyView.By coupling the broadband scattering of nanodiamonds with the plasmonic absorption of gold nanostars, this work proposes a novel strategy for the active modulation of photon transport. This strategy creates localized photothermal hotspots in turbid media and achieves a supra‐additive heating efficiency, thereby providing a universal platform for low ...

Light‑Driven Propulsion of Graphene Aerogels in Microgravity
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Ultralight graphene aerogels convert laser light into thrust. Parabolic‐flight experiments directly compare their motion in microgravity and at 1 g, revealing order‐of‐magnitude enhancements in distance, velocity, and transient thrust when weight and friction are removed (∼50 times enhancement).

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.We demonstrate the direct‐laser patterning of a gold thin film on polymethyl methacrylate to fabricate a temperature sensor for dentures. The temperature sensor‐embedded smart dentures are evaluated in an oral environment, enabling in‐situ monitoring for elderly healthcare.
