An electrofluorochromic conjugated polyelectrolyte, PFTSO3Na as a polyanion, was synthesized and used in the fabrication of layer-by-layer (LbL) assembled multilayer film with poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) as a polycation. The electrofluorescent device (EFD) fabricated from the multilayer thin film of PFTSO3Na /PDDA emits blue light under UV excitation. The fluorescence intensity can be switched off upon electrochemical oxidation. The electrofluorescent behavior of the EFD is reversible and can be switched between the non-fluorescent (oxidized) state and the fluorescent (neutral) state with a maximum contrast ratio (If/If0) of 5.20.

An integrated magnetoimpedance (MI) biosensor microfluidic magnetic platform was proposed for the evaluation of the cardiac marker, cardiac troponin I (cTnI). This bioanalyte evaluation platform mainly comprised three external permanent magnets (PMs), one MI element, two peelable SiO film units and a microfluidic chip (MFC). The MI element was made of micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS)-based multilayered [Ti (6 nm)/FeNi (100 nm)]/Cu (400 nm)/[Ti (6 nm)/FeNi (100 nm)] thin films and designed as meander structures with closed magnetic flux.

Multilayered van der Waals (vdW) materials are semiconductors composed of atomically thin crystal layers, held together by weak vdW forces. They offer unique crystal structures and electronic properties, distinct from conventional semiconductors, making them a promising platform for linear and nonlinear optics. In this context, the large refractive indexes given by highly polarizable transition metals, combined with excitonic resonances and unconventional crystalline structures, provides a toolbox for exploring non-linear physics and strong light-matter interactions with unprecedented opportunities for nanoscale optics.

Functional properties of mixed ionic electronic conductors (MIECs) can be radically modified by (de)insertion of mobile charged defects. A complete control of this dynamic behavior has multiple applications in a myriad of fields including advanced computing, data processing, sensing or energy conversion. However, the effect of different MIEC's state-of-charge is not fully understood yet and there is a lack of strategies for fully controlling the defect content in a material.

Rock aggregates have been extensively exploited in the construction sector, and the associated engineering features play a critical role in their application. The main aim of this research is to assess the impact of petrographic characteristics on the engineering properties of carbonate rocks. A total of 45 carbonate rock samples from different geological formations within the Salt Range (Western Himalayan Ranges, Pakistan) were subjected to comprehensive petrographic analyses and standard aggregate quality control tests.
