ESIPT-Inspired Dual-Mode Photoswitches with Fast Molecular Isomerization in the Solid State

Photoswitchable materials have attracted considerable attention in various fields. Developing excellent solid-state dual-mode photoswitches is an important but challenging task. Herein, we propose a new strategy to construct an excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) inspired photoswitch ( DiAH-pht ) that possesses aggregation-induced emission (AIE) features and displays a fast molecular isomerization process characterized by dual-mode behavior in the solid state. Mechanistic studies indicate that introduction of a bulky group can create a folded molecular conformation that provides adequate volume to facilitate photoisomerization and the enhanced ESIPT effect can boost the isomerization process. The feasibility of our strategy was further demonstrated by the activated photoisomerization performance of the Schiff base derivatives. Furthermore, DiAH-pht shows good performance in the fields of dual-mode information encryption and high-density data storage.     

基于时间融合的波形方式高精度超声测厚

在超声测厚过程中使用波形方式利用闸门进行测量,可以方便自由地选取测量对象,有利于 避开盲区测量;同时还可以设置闸门和峰值或边沿的测量方式,有利于减小测量误差。在测量中,特 征计算采用基于采样序列较基于显示序列精度要高,采样率越高,精度越好;在此基础上,加入多时 间序列的融合算法可以将有效采样率成倍提高,精度也得到相应的改善。

Time-dependent Phosphorescence Color of Carbon Dots in Binary Salt Matrices through Activations by Structural Confinement and Defects for Dynamic Information Encryption

The emergence of time-dependent phosphorescence color (TDPC) materials has taken information encryption to high-security levels. However, due to the only path of exciton transfer, it is almost impossible to obtain TDPC for chromophores with a single emission center. Theoretically, in inorganic-organic composites, the exciton transfer of organic chromophores depends on the inorganic structure. Here, we assign two structural effects to inorganic NaCl by metal (Mg²⁺ or Ca²⁺ or Ba²⁺) doping, which triggers the TDPC performance of carbon dots (CDs) with a single emission center. The resulting material is used for multi-level dynamic phosphorescence color 3D coding to achieve information encryption. The structural confinement activates the green phosphorescence of CDs; while the structural defect activates tunneling-related yellow phosphorescence. Such simply doped inorganic matrices can be synthesized using the periodic table of metal cations, endowing chromophores with tremendous control over TDPC properties. This demonstration extends the design view of dynamic luminescent materials.     

Computing Arithmetic Functions Using Immobilised Enzymatic Reaction Networks

Living systems use enzymatic reaction networks to process biochemical information and make decisions in response to external or internal stimuli. Herein, we present a modular and reusable platform for molecular information processing using enzymes immobilised in hydrogel beads and compartmentalised in a continuous stirred tank reactor. We demonstrate how this setup allows us to perform simple arithmetic operations, such as addition, subtraction and multiplication, using various concentrations of substrates or inhibitors as inputs and the production of a fluorescent molecule as the readout.
