The room temperature manipulation of solid-state spins provides an opportunity to develop quantum applications under ambient conditions. Local electromagnetic fields, that usually produced by current in micro/nanoscale metal wires, have been employed for the coherent driving and addressing of spin qubit. However, the fixed distribution limits the spatial selectivity and efficiency of qubit manipulation, which is of central importance in a scaled-up quantum system. Here, we report a solution by demonstrating a reconfigurable current with arbitrary shape to engineer microwave and DC magnetic field at microscale. A "photothermal doping" method was proposed to optically control local insulator-to-metal transition in vanadium dioxide. It generates a conducting filament with adjustable position, direction, and width. Universal manipulation and selective addressing of spins at arbitrary sites are realized, by freely changing the filament and electromagnetic field on demand. Our work paves the way for developing quantum devices with large-scale spin qubits.

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.

Conventional nanocarriers have three inherent limitations: therapeutic inefficacy, suboptimal drug-loading capacity, and disease-specific nanocarrier requirements necessitating frequent structural reconfiguration. To overcome these challenges, we developed a novel modular synergistic bioactive nanocarrier based on olsalazine (Olsa), utilizing a modular coordination-switching strategy to achieve cross-disease therapeutic adaptability. A spherical Olsa-based Cu/Fe metal-organic framework (MOF) was developed for colorectal cancer (CRC) therapy to encapsulate doxorubicin (DOX) and address the intrinsic hydrogen peroxide (HO) deficiency in tumor microenvironments through a self-catalytic HO regeneration mechanism.

Photovoltaic (PV) systems, which accounted for 75% of global renewable energy capacity in 2023, are limited by the substantial waste heat generated through the photothermal effect, reducing both electricity generation efficiency and panel longevity. In this work, a passive cooling strategy using an ultra-cooling patch (UCP) that effectively cools down the PV panel is presented, thus achieving an exceptionally high cooling power of nearly 700 W m and facilitating the recovery of over 70% of waste heat for freshwater production. The flexibility and adhesive properties of UCP allow for easy integration with various PV configurations, including flexible panels.

Traditional soft robots, while praised for their flexibility and biocompatibility, often face challenges with complex motion and adaptability. In this work, a visible light-driven liquid crystalline network (LCN) film with a multistage photo-responsive behavior is judiciously designed and prepared. By integrating donor-acceptor stenhouse adducts (DASAs) into LCN matrix, it is found that the DASA exhibits polymerization temperature-dependent isomerization, indicating an opportunity to fabricate complex photo-driven soft actuators and devices by simply adjusting the polymerization conditions.
