Methane in the solid state is often studied in interaction with water, either as clathrate hydrates or as interstellar ice in a water-rich ice environment. Using free-electron laser infrared irradiation, we studied the interaction between CH and HO through energy dissipation after on-resonance vibrational excitation. The observed changes in the ice structure are largely independent of the vibrational mode excited and suggest an energy-dissipation-induced local heating of the ice. Local heating results in desorption for the two pure crystalline phases of CH, a phase transition to phase II for metastable CH and a 1:10 HO:CH mixture, and segregation for the 1:1 and 1:5 HO:CH ice mixtures. Local heating only occurs when the infrared irradiation is on resonance with a vibrational mode of the system in the case of the pure CH ices, suggesting that a sufficient absorption cross section is required to convert the on-resonance vibrational energy into general heating.

Dynamic micro/nano-structured surfaces play pivotal roles in biological systems and engineering applications. Despite considerable progress has been made in fabricating precisely ordered architectures, achieving controlled motion in top-down fabricated structures remain a formidable challenge. Here, we introduce an advanced dynamic micron-nano optical platform featuring hierarchical microscale wrinkles integrated with ordered nanoscale arrays.

Magnetic nanoparticles are widely explored in biomedical applications, particularly as MRI contrast agents and for magnetic hyperthermia. However, their photothermal capabilities under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation remain underexplored in realistic, tissue-like environments. This study provides a comprehensive assessment of ultrasmall FeO nanoparticles (9.

Intense pulsed light (IPL) is an emerging surface antimicrobial technology characterized by prominent efficiency but the performance in the decontamination of granular foods is yet to be improved. Using S. Enteritidis as a model bacterium, this article attempted to resolve the confusion on bactericidal mechanism of IPL treatment on spice products.

In this study, we successfully developed a diselenide-based, triple-responsive intelligent nanogel, IR780@BEAP, for lung cancer therapy. Exploiting the elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and glutathione (GSH) in the tumor microenvironment (TME), a ROS/GSH dual-responsive diselenide cross-linker (DSe5) was synthesized and used to cross-link betulin (BE) with polysaccharide (AP) while coloading the photosensitizer IR780. The resulting nanogel, IR780@BEAP, exhibited an appropriate particle size (137.
