In-Sensor Visible and Mid-Infrared Dual-Band Perception and Computing
Abstract Machine vision in complex environments requires hardware that can integrate multispectral sensing with real-time front-end information processing. Visible light (VIS) and mid-infrared (MIR) signals provide complementary scene information, yet existing photodetectors cann...

UA-30 ameliorates motor deficits through RalA-mediated mitophagy in ALS mice
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive motor neuron loss, skeletal muscle atrophy, paralysis, and eventually death. Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a pivotal role in ALS pathogenesis, although the precise pathogenic mechani...

Collective blinking of upconversion emission in lanthanide-doped nanocrystals
Abstract Fluorescence blinking, often regarded as a limitation for stable emitters, can enable super-resolution localization microscopy and serve as a versatile reporter of the photophysical states of quantum emitters and their interactions with local environment. However, conven...

Qubit-induced strong Wigner negativity at steady state
We show that a Kerr-nonlinear cavity coupled to an incoherently pumped two-level qubit can stabilize a nonclassical steady state with pronounced Wigner negativity. Without the qubit, two-photon drive and dissipation preserve photon-number parity and confine vacuum-initiated dynam...

ZIF‐8 Film Coatings Render Polymeric Device Surfaces Addressable by 1 H/ 129 Xe MRI
ABSTRACT Metal‐organic framework (MOF) films synergize molecular‐scale porosity with conformal surface chemistry on polymer substrates. We report a spectrally selective coating in which a ZIF‐8 film, seeded by a Zn(II)‐polydopamine (Zn‐PDA) interlayer on polytetrafluoroethylene (...

Unrepeatered remote Φ-OTDR system with single-ended amplifier using hollow-core leading fiber
Phase-sensitive Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (Φ-OTDR) is widely used for monitoring critical infrastructure. However, conventional Φ-OTDR systems are limited by fiber nonlinear effects, which restrict the probe pulse energy and thus limit the sensing distance. To overcome th...
