Nanodiamond Sensing in Dynamic Environments With Fast‐Tracking Through Four‐Point Positioning

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A four‐point positioning tracking (4PPT) platform enables fast 3D feedback translational tracking of fluorescent nanodiamonds while simultaneously recording ODMR spectra. By integrating real‐time translational tracking with quantum sensing, mobile nanodiamonds are used for in‐situ nanothermometry, nanorheometry, and 6D translation–rotation tracking in ...

n‐Type Semiconductor Hydrogels for Tunable Organic Electrochemical Transistors Operation and Evaporation‐Driven Synergistic Energy Harvesting and Thermal Management

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study develops a tunable n‐OSC hydrogel (PBFDO‐PAAc) platform with a tunable porous network and thermoelectric properties. It demonstrates the first report of n‐OSC hydrogels for evaporation‐driven hydrovoltaic‐thermoelectric electricity generation as well as chemically dedoping‐mediated OECT working mode reconfiguration. This work expands n‐OSCs’
