Dielectrics represent a new frontier for surface-enhanced Raman scattering. They can serve
as either a complement or an alternative to conventional, metal-based SERS, offering key …

Intelligent objects, autonomous factories and humans browsing the real world with artificial
technology‐based capabilities is not the movie set of a new saga but what is going to …

Stimuli-responsive materials offer a large variety of possibilities in fabrication of solid-state
devices. Phase change materials (PCMs) undergo rapid and drastic changes of their optical …

Heterogeneous catalytic systems based on the use of stimuli-responsive materials can be
switched from an “on” active state to an “off” inactive state, which contributes to endowing the …

All‐dielectric materials are emerging as a new class of substrates for enhanced Raman
scattering. As ohmic losses are reduced in the absence of plasmonic metals, Raman data …

Chemo-mechanical phenomena, including oscillations and peristaltic motions, are
widespread in nature—just think of heartbeats—thanks to the ability of living organisms to …

A new concept of a reconfigurable smart catalyst was developed from the synergistic
combination of polycarbonate/carbon nanotube bimorph photoactuators and TiO2. The …

In this work, we demonstrate that eggshell membranes (ESM) can be successfully
functionalized with extracts from orange peel or broccoli leaves and stems, in order to create …

Most of the catalytic processes that assist the production of either renewable energy vectors
or degradation of environmental pollutants rely on the interplay among different factors that …
