Heart rate control by listening to light
Abstract The auditory-cardiac interplay enables sound perception to modulate cardiac rhythm and homeostasis. However, its underlying regulatory mechanism and therapeutic potential remain largely underexplored, due to fundamental limitations in acoustic stimulation precision. Here we present an opto-mechano-cardiac coupling strategy that bypasses the propagation constraints of sound wave to enable precise acoustic modulation of cardiac function.
Nonmetallic plasmonic Al-doped W 18 O 49 drives pure CO production from formic acid dehydration
Abstract As a vital industrial feedstock, carbon monoxide (CO) is widely employed in pharmaceutical, electronic and fine chemical synthesis, yet its efficient production in high purity remains challenging. Here we report a solar-driven route to high-purity CO from formic acid using a nonmetallic plasmonic photocatalyst based on aluminum-doped tungsten oxide (Al-W18O49).

Flexible, stretchable, on-chip optical tweezers for high-throughput bioparticle manipulation - Light: Science & Applications
Abstract High-throughput trapping and precision manipulation of individual pathogenic bioparticles in complex microenvironments are of great importance for in-vitro diagnostics and drug screening. Although optical tweezers have been widely used for bioparticle trapping and manipulation, the throughput, functionality, and adaptability are still limited for on-chip integrated bioparticle manipulation in complex and dynamic bioenvironments.
Plasmonic Ni-doped W18O49 with dual active sites drives efficient methanol dehydration to dimethyl ether - Nature Communications
Abstract Photocatalytic methanol dehydration to dimethyl ether (DME) offers a sustainable alternative to energy-intensive thermocatalysis, yet its practical application remains constrained by low efficiency. Herein, we designed Ni-doped plasmonic W18O49 nanowires that synergistically integrates low-coordinated W and Ni dual active sites with surface plasmon resonance for enhanced photocatalytic performance.
Highly active Fe-N4 sites confined in ordered carbon nanotube arrays as self-supporting cathode catalyst for oxygen conversion To develop low-cost and efficient oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalysts, single-atom catalysts (SACs) have attracted great attention to become vital to the applications of zinc-air batteries (ZABs) because of their high catalytic activity.
Low-loading Rh nanoparticles on Ni/N-doped carbon nanofibers for hydrazine oxidation-assisted hydrogen generation under industrial-level current density and Zn-hydrazine battery
Discovering high-performance and eco-friendly energy sources that can substitute for traditional fossil fuels is critical to tackle energy crisis and environmental contamination [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. Hydrogen (H2) is viewed as a major competitor to renewable energy because of its zero-carbon emission, high energy density and abundant raw material sources [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12].
Identification and analysis of a cell communication prognostic signature for oral squamous cell carcinoma at bulk and single‐cell levels
1 INTRODUCTION As one of the major public health concerns worldwide, head and neck squamous cancer (HNSC) has more than 930,000 victims and causes over 460,000 deaths around the world each year.1 Among the HNSC, more than 90% of them are oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).2-4 Current therapy strategies for OSCC include surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy.5-7 Although these therapy options significantly elevated patient prognosis due to the therapy resistance, about 30% of the patients...
Neural stimulation and modulation with sub-cellular precision by optomechanical bio-dart - Light: Science & Applications
Abstract Neural stimulation and modulation at high spatial resolution are crucial for mediating neuronal signaling and plasticity, aiding in a better understanding of neuronal dysfunction and neurodegenerative diseases. However, developing a biocompatible and precisely controllable technique for accurate and effective stimulation and modulation of neurons at the subcellular level is highly challenging.

Catalytic Conversion of Cellulose to 5‐Hydroxymethylfurfural: Advancements in Heterogeneous Catalysts and Cutting‐Edge Hydrolysis Strategies
The catalytic conversion of lignocellulose-derived carbohydrates, particularly cellulose, into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural(HMF), holds significant potential as a crucial step in the sustainable production of valuable platform chemicals. This review presents the remarkable progress made in the field, with a specific emphasis on the role of heterogeneous catalysts, innovative methods for accelerating cellulose hydrolysis, and the design of flow reactor technologies.
Dynamic monitoring of oscillatory enzyme activity of individual live bacteria via nanoplasmonic optical antennas - Nature Photonics
Abstract Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are extracellular structures derived from the outer membrane of bacteria. They carry diverse cargos such as proteins, nucleic acids and enzymes, which are released by bacteria to communicate with each other and with host cells. Understanding the role of OMVs as carriers of signalling enzymes provides insights into intercellular communication, pathogenesis and biofilm formation, among others.
Study on the Influence of Different Factors on Pneumatic Conveying in Horizontal Pipe
4. Simulation Results and Analysis The benchmark working conditions were simulated, and the simulation results show that after entering the pipeline, the particles accelerate forward under the drag force provided by the wind. At the same time, the particles settle down under the action of gravity until they collide with the pipe wall. After obtaining enough momentum, the particles begin to suspend in the pipeline.

Toward the capacity limit of 2D planar Jones matrix with a single-layer metasurface
INTRODUCTION Polarization is one of the most important properties of electromagnetic waves (1). The optical elements for polarization control have become the cornerstone for a variety of optical applications and techniques. Technologically, the polarization manipulation by these optical elements can be represented by a 2 × 2 matrix, i.e., the Jones matrix. The Jones matrix has four components, each having two degrees of freedom (DOFs), i.e., the amplitude and phase terms.
