Sound, Force and Light Induced Emissions from Er3+‐Mn2+ Doped ZnS/CaZnOS Heterostructure for Remote Temperature Monitoring via Photo‐ and Mechanoluminescence

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Er3⁺/Mn2⁺ co‐doped ZnS/CaZnOS heterostructures are developed for remote temperature and force/sound sensing. The material exhibits UV/NIR photoluminescence, with energy transfer influencing color. Mechanoluminescence intensity is measured against applied power. Temperature‐dependent photoluminescence enabled luminescence thermometry.

Autonomous Implants

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
An ideal implant should mimic native tissues such that it can integrate, sense, heal, and continue to function, i.e., be autonomous. Although early, there are good steps taken in this way, e.g., the development of stimuli‐responsive, self‐powering, self‐actuating, self‐healing, self‐regenerating, and self‐aware implants.

Engineering Aging: Approaches to Model and Deconstruct Biological Complexity

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The macro‐experiences of aging are the result of an accumulation of micro‐changes that occur over time. Abstract The disparity between the global increase in life expectancy and the steady decline in health outcomes with age has been a major driver for developing new ways to research aging.
