Article Abstract
Optical manipulation of nanoparticles (NPs) in liquid has garnered increasing interest for various applications, ranging from biological systems to nanofabrication. A plane wave as an optical source has recently been shown to be capable of pushing or pulling an NP when the NP is encapsulated by a nanobubble (NB) in water. However, the lack of an accurate model to describe the optical force on NP-in-NB systems hinders a comprehensive understanding of NP motion mechanisms. In this study, we present an analytical model using vector spherical harmonics to accurately capture the optical force and the resultant trajectory of an NP in an NB. We test the developed model using a solid Au NP as an example. By visualizing the vector field line of the optical force, we reveal the possible moving paths of the NP in the NB. This study can provide valuable insights for designing experiments to manipulate supercaviting NPs using plane waves.

AlN is a core material widely used as a substrate and heat sink in various electronic and optoelectronic devices. Introducing luminescent properties into intrinsic AIN opens new opportunities for next-generation intelligent sensors, self-powered displays, and wearable electronics. In this study, the first evidence is presented of AlN crystals exhibiting satisfactory mechanoluminescence (ML), photoluminescence (PL), and afterglow performance, demonstrating their potential as novel multifunctional optical sensors.

-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-protected gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) have emerged as promising candidates for biomedical applications due to their high stability and strong photoluminescence. However, their integration into atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, which facilitates an understanding of their behavior in biological environments, has been hindered by the lack of reliable force field parameters. Here, we present a new set of parameters for classical MD simulations of NHC-protected AuNCs, fully compatible with the AMBER force field.

We introduce a novel method using a kilohertz (kHz) amplified 800 nm laser for the first experimental confinement of microparticles within a single beam. This study demonstrates that high-energy kHz pulses can confine 1-μm-radius polystyrene beads in water within ∼26 μm. This approach utilizes the unique properties of high-energy pulsed lasers, distinct from continuous-wave and megahertz pulsed lasers traditionally used in optical trapping.

Recently, joint replacement surgery is facing significant challenges of patient dissatisfaction and the need for revision procedures. In-situ monitoring of stress stability at the site of artificial joint replacement during postoperative evaluation is important. Mechanoluminescence (ML), a novel "force to light" conversion technology, may be used to monitor such bio-stress within tissues.
