Mapping Correlated Environmental Landscapes in the Fluorescence Response of a Pyrenylated Charge‐Transfer Probe via Data‐Driven Nonlinear Regression

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A pyrenylated donor–acceptor probe exhibits environment‐dependent fluorescence governed by intramolecular charge transfer, restricted molecular motion, and supramolecular organization. Nonlinear regression accurately reconstructs fluorescence responses to viscosity, temperature, concentration, and pH, while correlated parameter maps reveal hidden ...

Wood‐Derived Nanocellulose‐Biocarbon Fresnel‐Zone Plate Lenses for Sub‐THz Frequency Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Wood‐derived nanocellulose and lignin‐based biocarbon were combined to fabricate fully bio‐based Fresnel zone plate (FZP) lenses for sub‐terahertz frequencies. These sustainable FZP lenses exhibit low dielectric loss and high directivity, achieving performance comparable to that of metallic references, and remain functional under environmental stress ...
