Reconfigurable multibeam engineering of Marangoni convection for programmable optofluidic steering

Optofluidic manipulation provides a powerful route for guiding micro- and nanoparticles, yet conventional light-induced flow systems often suffer from limited controllability, unstable flow patterns, and poor reconfigurability. Here, we demonstrate programmable optofluidic steeri...

Dynamical Controlof Non-Hermitian Coupling betweenSubthreshold Nanolasers Enables Q-Switched Pulse Generation

Abstract Non-Hermitian photonics provides a framework to engineer the gain and loss of optical modes in open systems, enabling the control of their spectral and dynamical properties. In particular, the ability to dynamically tune modal losses offers a route to implement functiona...

Heart rate control by listening to light

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 prese...

Advancing Energy Efficiency in Smart Windows via Dual‐Responsive Electro‐Thermochromism

ABSTRACT Implementing dynamic smart windows is imperative toward the construction of net‐zero buildings. However, the prevailing ion (de‐)embedding‐based electrochromic (EC) or thermosensitive hydrogel‐based thermochromic (TC) windows fail to achieve large optical modulation acro...

Nonmetallic plasmonic Al-doped W18O49 drives pure CO production from formic acid dehydration

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 nonm...
