Energy transfer driven brightening of MoS2 by ultrafast polariton relaxation in microcavity MoS2/hBN/WS2 heterostructures by Hu, Zehua, Krisnanda, Tanjung, Fieramosca, Antonio, Zhao, Jiaxin, Sun, Qianlu, Chen, Yuzhong, Liu, Haiyun, Luo, Yuan, Su, Rui, Wang, Junyong, Watanabe, Kenji, Taniguchi, Takashi, Eda, Goki, Wang, Renshaw Xiao, Ghosh, Sanjib, Dini, Kevin, Sanvitto, Daniele, Liew, Timothy Chi Hin, Xiong, Qihua

“…Herein, we have designed a planar optical microcavity-confined MoS2/hBN/WS2 heterojunction, which realizes the strong coupling among donor exciton, acceptor exciton, and cavity photon mode. This configuration demonstrates an unconventional energy transfer via polariton relaxation, brightening MoS2 with a record-high enhancement factor of ~440, i.e., two-order-of-magnitude higher than the data reported to date. …”

The FGFR inhibitor PD173074 binds to the C-terminus of oncofetal HMGA2 and modulates its DNA-binding and transcriptional activation functions by Ahmed, Syed Moiz, Ragunathan, Priya, Shin, Joon, Peter, Sabrina, Kleissle, Sabrina, Neuenschwander, Martin, Schäfer, Reinhold, Kries, Jens Peter V., Grüber, Gerhard, Dröge, Peter

“…The HMGA2-antagonistic effect of PD173074 on transcriptional activation may therefore result from an induced altered DNA-binding mode of HMGA2. PD173074 as a novel HMGA2-specific antagonist could trigger the development of derivates with enhanced attributes and clinical potential.…”

Hydrodynamics of random-organizing hyperuniform fluids by Lei, Qun-Li, Ni, Ran

“…We find that the origin of fluidic HU can be understood as the damping of a stochastic harmonic oscillator in q space, which indicates that the suppressed long-wavelength density fluctuation in the hyperuniform fluid can exhibit as either acoustic (resonance) mode or diffusive (overdamped) mode. Importantly, our theory reveals that the damping dissipation and active reciprocal interaction (driving) are the two ingredients for fluidic HU. …”

Polarization invariant plasmonic nanostructures for sensing applications by Tobing, Landobasa Yosef Mario, Goh, Geat-Yee, Mueller, Aaron D., Ke, Lin, Luo, Yu, Zhang, Dao-Hua

“…For this reason, sensing platforms based on localized surface plasmons are preferred to their integrated optics counterparts for their simple mode excitation and inexpensive implementation. However, their optical response under unpolarized light excitation is typically weak due to their strong polarization dependence. …”
