Plasmonic Enhancement of Fluorescence and Protein Dynamics in Living Mammalian Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates plasmonic enhancement of the function of fluorescent voltage sensing proteins (genetically encoded voltage indicators, (GEVIs), QuasAr6) in live mammalian cells. Coupling to plasmonic nanoparticles does not just increase fluorescence, but influences the protein photocycle, creating a hybrid sensor with its response speed to ...

Positive solutions for parametric nonlinear periodic problems with competing nonlinearities

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2015
We consider a nonlinear periodic problem driven by a nonhomogeneous differential operator plus an indefinite potential and a reaction having the competing effects of concave and convex terms.

Seta‐Inspired Mechano‐Intelligent Janus Bandage with Coordinated Adhesion–Contraction for Minimizing Scarring

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
We developed a bioinspired mechano‐intelligent Janus bandage (MIB) with a hydrophobic flat exterior and a hydrophilic interior featuring gecko‐mimicking wedged microstructures, fabricated via micromolding and anisotropic plasma treatment. The MIB dynamically synchronizes adhesion and contraction, enabling precise force modulation.

Opportunities of Semiconducting Oxide Nanostructures as Advanced Luminescent Materials in Photonics

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
The review discusses the challenges of wide and ultrawide bandgap semiconducting oxides as a suitable material platform for photonics. They offer great versatility in terms of tuning microstructure, native defects, doping, anisotropy, and micro‐ and nano‐structuring. The review focuses on their light emission, light‐confinement in optical cavities, and

Intelligent Acousto‐Electrical Metamaterials (IAM) for Sound Source Detection

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Our proposed metamaterial concept enables sound source detection using a single material, in contrast to conventional arrays that require dozens or even hundreds of transducers. We show that the coupled acoustic–vibrational–electrical responses in piezoelectric metamaterials give rise to topology‐governed charge transport, producing distinct voltage ...

Positive blowup solutions for some fractional systems in bounded domains

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2013
Using some potential theory tools and the Schauder fixed point theorem, we prove the existence of a positive continuous weak solution for the fractional system $$ ( -Delta )^{alpha/2}u+ p(x)u^{sigma }v^{r}=0,quad (-Delta)^{alpha/2}v+q(x)u^{s}v^{eta }

Liouville theorem and gradient estimates for nonlinear elliptic equations on Riemannian manifolds

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2017
In this article we study a nonlinear elliptic equation by using the maximum principle and cutoff functions, We establish related gradient estimates, the Liouville theorem, and the Harnack inequality.

Existence of a Nontrivial Steady-State Solution to a Parabolic-Parabolic Chemotaxis System with Singular Sensitivity

open access: yesDiscrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2019
This paper establishes the existence of a nontrivial steady-state solution to a parabolic-parabolic coupled system with singular (or logarithmic) sensitivity and nonlinear source arising from chemotaxis.
