Organic near infrared (NIR) persistent-luminescence systems with bright and long-lived emission are highly valuable for applications in communication, imaging, and sensors. However, realizing these materials (especially lifetime over 0.1 s) is a challenge, mainly because of non-radiative quenching o...

Excellent mechanical properties and remarkable self-healing ability are difficult to unify in one hydrogel. We integrated acylhydrazone bonds and Pluronic F127 (PF127) micelle cross-linking, as two kinds of dynamic cross-links, in one system and developed hydrogels with superior stretchability, high...

Abstract Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as potential light emitting polymers for optoelectronic and optical devices, but their nonlinear optical properties, particularly two‐photon absorption and fluorescence (TPA/TPF), have seldom been explored. Herein, to construct octupolar three...

Conventional cement-based materials are faced with significant challenges, including large carbon emissions, high density, and quasi-brittleness. Here, inspired by hierarchical porous structures existing in nature, we develop a low carbon, lightweight, strong and tough cement-based material (LLST), ...

Plaque rupture is related to the mechanical stress it suffered. The value and distribution of the mechanical stress in plaque could help on assessing plaque vulnerability. To look into the stress conditions in the coronary artery, a patient-specific coronary model was created by using optical cohere...

Proper disposal of the millions of tons of eggshell waste generated around the world every year is a significant environmental challenge. However, eggshell waste can be converted into new materials that may be useful for a wide range of applications. In this study, four methods, including the conven...

Most strokes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are thought to arise from thrombus formation in the left atrial appendage (LAA). Assessing the hemodynamics in LAA and left atrium (LA) may provide some insights in the evaluation of the risk of thrombus formation. This study aims to find out th...

Acute cerebral ischemic events and thrombosis are associated with the rupture/erosion of carotid atherosclerotic plaques. The aim of the present study was to determine the impact of calcification deposition on the wall shear stress (WSS) and stresses within the plaques using 3D fluid-structure inter...

SIGNIFICANCE: Detection and characterization of coronary atherosclerotic plaques often need reviews of a large number of optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging slices to make a clinical decision. However, it is a challenge to manually review all the slices and consider the interrelationship betw...
