Integrative Approaches for DNA Sequence‐Controlled Functional Materials

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
DNA is emerging as a programmable building block for functional materials with applications in biomimicry, biochemical, and mechanical information processing. The integration of simulations, experiments, and machine learning is explored as a means to bridge DNA sequences with macroscopic material properties, highlighting current advances and providing ...

External Reflection From Two‐Photon Laser‐Printed Micromirrors Enables Photomechanical Actuation at a 90° Incident Angle

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Light reflectance increases along incidence angle and transmittance significantly drops around 90‐degree incidence angle. Here, we report two‐photon laser printed micro mirrors that redirect the skimming light beam into normal light absorption. Using this technique, light‐driven micro walkers and grippers are demonstrated by using grazing incidence ...

Optical bistability of a plexcitonic system consisting of a quantum dot near a metallic nanorod

Journal of Theoretical and Applied Physics, 2018
Optical response of a complex nanodimer comprising a semiconductor quantum dot via Coulomb interaction to a metal nanorod is analyzed theoretically. Optical bistability (OB) behavior of a coherently coupled exciton-plasmon (plexcitonic) hybrid system ...

Bistable Reflection Assisted by Fano Resonance in DMDMW With Low-Threshold and Large Modulation Depth

IEEE Photonics Journal, 2023
Owing to an additional thinner planar waveguide with micron scale is attracted to the symmetrical metal cladding waveguide (SMCW) with sub-millimeter scale, the interference interaction between different Q-value guided modes would generate a Fano ...

Low-threshold bistability of slow light in photonic-crystal waveguides

, 2007
We analyze the resonant transmission of light through a photonic-crystal waveguide side coupled to a Kerr nonlinear cavity, and demonstrate how to design the structure geometry for achieving bistability and all-optical switching at ultra-low powers in ...

Physical Intelligence in Small‐Scale Robots and Machines

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Physical intelligence” (PI) empowers biological organisms and artificial machines, especially at the small scales, to perceive, adapt, and even reshape their complex, dynamic, and unstructured operation environments. This review summarizes recent milestones and future directions of PI in small‐scale robots and machines.

Enhanced Optical Bistability of a Metasurface Based on Asymmetrically Optimized Mirror-Induced Magnetic Anapole States

Applied Sciences
In the field of modern optical computing and communication, optical bistability plays a crucial role. With a weak third-order nonlinear coefficient, low switch thresholds of optical bistability from Si-based nanophotonic structures remain a challenge. In

Nonlinear dynamics of a cigar-shaped Bose-Einstein condensate coupled with a single cavity mode

, 2008
We investigate the nonlinear dynamics of a combined system which is composed of a cigar-shaped Bose-Einstein condensate and an optical cavity. The two sides couple dispersively.

Solvent‐Free Thermal Defect Engineering in Molecular Frameworks With Volatile Linkers

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Thermal removal of neutral volatile linkers enables precise and solvent‐free generation of metal vacancies in MOFs. This strategy affords redox‐stable, coordinatively unsaturated FeII sites with tunable spin, ligand coordination, and catalytic behavior. The approach offers a general route to design defect‐functional materials through local coordination
