1 Introduction Accurate, rapid, and portable sensing of nucleic acid with high sensitivity will make a difference in numerous clinical diagnostic,[1] especially by precisely profiling and monitoring circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to direct therapeutic management in targeted cancer therapy.[2, 3] However, current nucleic acid amplification-based methods and sequencing techniques remain great challenges associated with the identification for the extremely low abundance of somatic mutation...

Abstract Photo-excited quantum materials can be driven into thermally inaccessible metastable states that exhibit structural, charge, spin, topological and superconducting orders. Metastable states typically emerge on timescales set by the intrinsic electronic and phononic energy scales, ranging from femtoseconds to picoseconds, and can persist for weeks. Therefore, studies have primarily focused on ultrafast or quasi-static limits, leaving the intermediate time window less explored.
