Biological materials have robust hierarchical structures capable of specialized functions and
the incorporation of natural biologically active components, which have been finely tuned …

Colloidal crystals (CCs) are ordered arrays of monodisperse colloidal particles. Because of
the presence of a periodic superlattice of colloids and voids, CCs bear many unique …

The most important properties of noniridescent structural colors of amorphous photonic
structures (APS) are sufficient color brightness and saturation, which are difficult to be …

Ultratrace detection attracts great interest because it is still a challenge to the early diagnosis
and drug testing. Enriching the targets from highly diluted solutions to the sensitive area is a …

Graphitic carbon nitride (g‐C3N4) has attracted tremendous attention in photocatalysis due
to its extraordinary features, such as good thermal and chemical stability, metal‐free …

Photonic crystals (PhCs) have set up a new trend in optical materials thanks to their potential
to control the propagation of light in the linear and nonlinear regimes. These properties can …

A four‐dimensional screening anti‐counterfeiting QR code composed of differently shaped
photonic crystal (PC) dots has been fabricated that could display four images depending on …

Photonic crystals (PCs) have emerged as a promising electrochemiluminescence (ECL)
matrix in the domain of immunoassay. Making maximum use of light manipulation properties …

We study experimentally time-resolved emission of colloidal CdSe quantum dots in an
environment with a controlled local density of states (LDOS). The decay rate is measured …

Mechanochromic materials alter their color in response to mechanical force and are useful
for both fundamental studies and practical applications. Several approaches are used to …
