Nanothermometry in Living Cells: Physical Limits, Conceptual and Material Challenges
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.

Color Routing and Beam Steering of Single‐Molecule Emission with a Spherical Silicon Nanoantenna
We experimentally demonstrate broadband directional emission from single molecules using a single spherical silicon nanoparticle assembled via DNA origami. By varying nanoparticle (NP) size and emitter position, we achieve unidirectional emission, beam steering, and color routing at the nanoscale, revealing modal interference as the underlying ...

Scanning emitter lifetime imaging microscopy for spontaneous emission control [PDF]
We report an experimental technique to map and exploit the local density of optical states of arbitrary planar nano-photonic structures. The method relies on positioning a spontaneous emitter attached to a scanning probe deterministically and reversibly ...

Mechanochromism of Glassy Polymers Enabled by a Loop‐Forming Supramolecular Mechanophore
The supramolecular mechanophore LOOP is covalently introduced into glassy polymers, capable of reporting force‐induced pre‐failure damage and local fracture events in polymer glasses. Under different mechanical deformation modes, including grinding, tensile stretching, and scratching, LOOP probes irreversible events in polymer glasses through a ...

This article presents a photo‐responsive nanoparticle platform that precisely triggers copper‐dependent cuproptotic cell death in (drug‐resistant) cancer cells. The system remains stable and inactive in the dark but releases cytotoxic species upon red‐light irradiation, achieving potent activity in drug‐resistant breast cancer cells.

Deep compressive macroscopic fluorescence lifetime imaging [PDF]
Compressive Macroscopic Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (MFLI) is a novel technical implementation that enables monitoring multiple molecular interactions in macroscopic scale. Especially, we reported recently on the development of a hyperspectral wide-field time-resolved single-pixel imaging platform that facilitates whole-body in vivo lifetime imaging ...
