Cancer Cells Traverse Faster in Confined Space by Modifying Vimentin filaments With Nuclear Deformation and Promoting the Growth of Desired Tumor Spheroids

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates how the Vimentin intermediate (VIM) filaments distribution/density regulates the attainment of different migration modes through cytoskeleton rearrangement and controls the nuclear morphology in migrating cells under physical confinement, which facilitates the faster traversing of those cells and the growth of post‐migration ...

High Performance Flexible Optical Fiber Sensor Enabled by Er3+/Yb3+ Co‐Doped near Pure‐Green Upconversion Emission Phosphor for Implantable Temperature Sensing

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A superior double‐cladding optical fiber temperature sensor (OFTS) is fabricated by utilizing a bright and stable near‐pure green UC phosphor NaLu(WO4)2:Er3+/Yb3+ as sensing material. The OFTS exhibits a high temperature measurement accuracy of 0.155°C at 303 K, excellent measuring repeatability and chemical stability, along with strong resistance to ...

Photothermomechanically Efficient, Low‐Cost, High‐Cycle‐Life, Hybrid MXene‐Polymer Actuators

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
The addition of MXenes to elastomer‐plastic‐paper films enables the creation of easily prepared actuators that are scalable for small robotic applications. Known as MXene‐polymer Trilayer Actuators (MPTAs), they bend from UV light. Their usefulness is demonstrated through kirigami‐inspired flower‐shaped art design, parallel manipulator for waveguiding,

Multipolar Resonances in Electro‐Optic Metasurfaces with Moderate Refractive Index

open access: yesAdvanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
Electro‐optic nanoantennas with moderate refractive indices of 2.3 to 3.0 are numerically shown to sustain strong multipolar resonances, enabling efficient light confinement and EO tuning. Multipolar modes of even parity are most sensitive to variations in the refractive index.
