Upconversion Nanoparticles Embedded Photonic Contact Lens for Transepithelial Corneal Crosslinking Using Hyaluronate – Riboflavin Conjugate

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 22, 16 March 2026.
A minimally invasive, transepithelial corneal cross‐linking (TE‐CXL) approach is presented using upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs)‐loaded contact lenses (UCLs), after topical delivery of hyaluronate–riboflavin conjugates. The NIR‐to‐UV/blue light conversion by UCNPs in a UCL can activate riboflavin for TE‐CXL, resulting in the biomechanical strength ...

Reverse Intersystem Crossing and Exciton Harvesting: A Pathway to Low Threshold in Multi‐Resonant TADF Electrically Pumped Organic Semiconductor Lasers

Advanced Optical Materials, Volume 14, Issue 12, 25 March 2026.
Electrically pumped organic lasing thresholds are lowered by mitigating triplet accumulation through a tailored host‐guest system. Integrating the multi‐resonant TADF emitter DABNA‐2 into a triplet‐scavenging BSBCz host suppresses singlet‐triplet annihilation.

Functional Interface Engineering Enables Selective Multicolor Upconversion in NaErF4@NaYF4 Core–Shell Nanocrystals

Advanced Physics Research, Volume 5, Issue 3, March 2026.
A functional interface engineering strategy is proposed to tune upconversion of NaErF4@NaYF4 core–shell nanocrystals by adjusting the amount of CF3COONa in the precursor during the shell growth. It is able to introduce controllable lattice defects at the core–shell interface to manipulate energy migration paths and non‐radiative transition of Er3 ...
