Abstract It is generally recognized that there only a single optical potential-well near the focus in traps with focused Gaussian beam. In this work, we show classic Gaussian-beam trap has additional potential-wells for manipulation at subwavelength scale off-focus transverse plane. The are formed by synergy of both gradient trapping force and scattering force, though previous studies usually adverse effect such as reducing stability. These work not metallic particles, but also high refractive-index dielectric particles. By engineering contribution through particle size, material position plane, field can be tailored to trap/manipulate nanoparticles different off-axis distance scale. Our provides new insight into tweezers promises applications nanomanipulation, nanoparticle sorting/separation, patterning micro-fabrication on substrates.

Abstract Colloidal nanoparticle self‐assembly is a key area in nanomaterials science, renowned for its ability to design metamaterials with tailored functionalities through bottom‐up approach. Over the past three decades, advancements synthesis and assembly control methods have propelled transition from single‐component binary assemblies. While has been recognized as significant concept materials design, potential intelligent customized often overlooked. It argued that future trend of nanocrystalline superlattices (BNLSs) can be analogous ‘0s’ ‘1s’ computer programming, customizing their precise these basic units could significantly expand application scope. This review briefly recaps developmental trajectory assembly, tracing evolution simple assemblies complex co‐assemblies unique property changes they induce. Of particular significance, this explores prospects co‐assembly, viewed lens ‘AI‐guided programmable assembly’. Such an approach shift paradigm passive active, leading creation new disruptive properties driving profound across multiple high‐tech fields.

Conventional point-of-care testing (POCT) has limitations in sensitivity with high risks of missed detection or false positive, which restrains its applications for routine outpatient care analysis and early clinical diagnosis. By merits the cutting-edge quantum precision metrology, this study devised a mini sensor via magnetofluorescent qubit tagging tunning on core-shelled fluorescent nanodiamond FND@SiO2. Comprehensive characterizations confirmed formation FND biolabels, while spectroscopies secured no degradation spin-state transition after surface modification. A methodical parametrization was deliberated decided, accomplishing wide-field modulation depth ≥15% ∼ zero field, laid foundation supersensitive sensing at single-FND resolution. Using viral nucleocapsid protein as model marker, an ultralow limit (LOD) obtained by lock-in analysis, outperforming conventional colorimetry immunofluorescence > 2000 fold. Multianalyte affinity assays were also enabled platform. Further resort to artificial-intelligence (AI) augmentation Unet-ConvLSTM-Attention architecture, authentic dots identified pixelwise survey through pristine queues. Such processing not just improved pronouncedly probing but achieved deterministic detections down single human saliva ultimate LOD much 7800-times lower than that colloidal Au approach, competed RT-qPCR threshold certified critical value SIMOA, gold standard. Hence, AI-aided digitization optic qubits, REASSURED-compliant contraption may promise next-generation POCT solution unparalleled sensitivity, speed, cost-effectiveness, whole confers conclusive proof prowess burgeoning metrics biosensing.

Nitrogen vacancy diamond nanoparticles (NVNPs) are increasingly integrated with methods for optical detection of magnetic resonance (ODMR), providing new opportunities spanning the visualization fields in microelectronic circuits, environmental sensing, and biology. However, only a small number studies utilize aggregates NVNPs surface-wide magnetometry, fact that spin orientations aggregate inherently misaligned, precluding proper field detection, compared expensive monocrystalline diamonds. A post-processing method layering aligned center can potentially facilitate superior NV magnetometry by allowing sensitive simplified probe preparation. We present novel technology creating densely stacked NVNP monolayers inherent interlayer alignment measurement local perturbations traces. establish spatial characteristics deposited demonstrate their ability to capture dipoles from conducting microwires via ODMR. Our approach forms accessible protocol be used broad applications micromagnetometry.

Abstract Metamaterials, which started off focused on optical and electromagnetic applications such as invisibility “hyperlenses” with resolution beyond the diffraction limit, has now broadened in scope to include pretty much everything from wireless communications (antennas), lasers, computing, solar power, sports equipment, medicine; acoustics, structural mechanics even air conditioning. Yet, promises derived these have not been exploited earnest market for them grown so far, likely because a facile economical method fabricating without defect emerged. This review scrutinizes methods used manufacture metamaterials aim remedy this shortcoming.
