Elastomeric 3D‐Printed Microenvironments Enable Nanonewton Force Measurements in Healthy and Diseased Human Pluripotent Stem Cell‐Derived Neuroepithelial Cells

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 56, 8 October 2026.
We present elastomeric three‐dimensional (3D) microstructures fabricated via two‐photon polymerization (2PP) and post‐processed through wet etching, for quantifying nanonewton (nN)‐scale forces applied by healthy and diseased neural cells. The mechanically characterized free‐standing beam architectures enable measurement of traction forces of ...

Permanent Deformation Characteristics of Beach Sand as a Subgrade Filler Integrating Dynamic Triaxial Testing and Machine Learning

Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.
Dynamic triaxial tests, field FBG monitoring, and machine‐learning analysis reveal that beach‐sand subgrade deformation is governed primarily by deviatoric stress and moisture. Fine sand deforms more than medium sand, while overload and wet‐side moisture deviation sharply amplify permanent deformation.

Polarization‐Dependence of Nonlinear Optical Effects in Silicon: The Case of Ultrafast Processing

Advanced Physics Research, Volume 5, Issue 10, October 2026.
The dependence of the input polarization for the nonlinear optical propagation in silicon is investigated theoretically and experimentally. The perturbative regime is examined using pump‐probe shadowgraphy and nonlinear transmission, whereas the case of permanent laser‐induced modifications is addressed using a combination of Raman micro‐spectroscopy ...
