The inability to measure mechanical forces within cells has been limiting our understanding of how mechanical information is processed on the molecular level. In this chapter, we describe a method that allows the analysis of force propagation across distinct proteins within living cells using Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based biosensors.

Fiber Optic Micro-Hole Salinity Sensor Based on Femtosecond Laser Processing.
Nanomaterials (Basel)
January 2025
School of Artificial Intelligence, Optics and Electronics (iOPEN), Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi'an 710072, China.
This study presents a novel reflective fiber Fabry-Perot (F-P) salinity sensor. The sensor employs a femtosecond laser to fabricate an open liquid cavity, facilitating the unobstructed ingress and egress of the liquid, thereby enabling the direct involvement of the liquid in light transmission. Variations in the refractive index of the liquid induce corresponding changes in the effective refractive index of the optical path, which subsequently influences the output spectrum.

Enikolopov Institute of Synthetic Polymer Materials Russian Academy of Sciences (ISPM RAS), Profsoyuznaya St. 70, 117393 Moscow, Russia.
The results of a comprehensive investigation into the structure and properties of nanodiamond soot (NDS), obtained from the detonation of various explosive precursors (trinitrotoluene, a trinitrotoluene/hexogen mixture, and tetryl), are presented. The colloidal behavior of the NDS particles in different liquid media was studied. The results of the scanning electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, zeta potential measurements, and laser diffraction analysis suggested a similarity in the morphology of the NDS particle aggregates and agglomerates.

December 2024
School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Soochow University, Suzhou 215137, China.
Composite coatings reinforced with varying mass fractions of SiC particles were successfully fabricated on 316 stainless steel substrates via laser cladding. The phase compositions, elemental distribution, microstructural characteristics, hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the composite coatings were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), Vickers hardness testing, friction-wear testing and electrochemical methods. The coatings have no obvious pores, cracks or other defects.
