Heteroatom location‐ and orientation mode‐dependent reverse intersystem crossing rate in multiple resonance emitters

FlexMat, EarlyView.
By constructing two pairs of isomers with different heteroatom anchoring positions, the relationship between heteroatom location and orientation mode and reverse intersystem crossing rate constant (kRISC) in multiple resonance (MR) emitters is systematically investigated.

Enhancing the Sensitivity of Colorimetric Aptasensor Through Cd2+‐Thymine Interactions in ssDNA Loops for Food Contaminant Detection

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
This picture illustrates a novel aptamer‐based colorimetric assay, which demonstrates that high sensitivity, selectivity, and reliability for the rapid detection of cadmium ions (Cd2+) in water. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have revealed that the complexes are more stable, with Cd2+ binding more tightly to the thymine (T) within the aptamer loop.

Hydrogels Incorporating Donor–Acceptor Stenhouse Adducts as a Platform for Photoinduced, On‐Off Switchable Release of Small Molecule Cargos

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Donor–acceptor Stenhouse aDdducts (DASAs) are known for their photoinduced tautomerization, which, when conjugated to block copolymers, can self‐assemble into tuneable polymersomes. These DASA‐polymersomes are being investigated for light‐controlled cargo release in biomedical applications.

Active Shell Engineering for Efficient Cascade Triplet Energy Transfer in Lanthanide Heterostructures

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 14, 27 March 2026.
Active shell engineering resolves the trade‐off between surface passivation and molecular sensitization in lanthanide nanoparticles. NaYbF4@Ca0.8F2:Nd0.2@ACA heterostructures transform inert shells into energy conduits, enabling cascade triplet transfer with near‐unity efficiency.

The scale matters: A review on stimuli‐responsive microrobots categorized by scale for biomedical applications

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
We systematically summarize how each scale dictates fundamental choices in design feature, manufacturing technology, driving mechanism, and control strategy, which are inherently governed by scale‐dominated physical principles. Furthermore, the application of scale‐determined operation modes of microrobots across different stages of medical ...
