We demonstrate two types of combinatorial color arrays based on the Fabry-Perot (FP) micro-resonators in monolithic architecture. Optical micro-resonators corresponding to color elements are constructed using a soluble dielectric material between two transreflective layers by transfer-printing in either a pattern-by-pattern or a pattern-on-pattern fashion. The color palette depends primarily on the thickness and the refractive index of a dielectric material embedded in the micro-resonator. A self-defined lateral gap between two adjacent color elements provides the functionality of light-blocking by the underlying background layer. A prototype of a liquid crystal display incorporated with our combinatorial color array is also demonstrated. This monolithic integration of different FP micro-resonators leads to a versatile platform to build up a new class of color arrays for a variety of visual applications including displays and coloration devices.

Article Synopsis
  • A new colorimetric sensor using green-colored silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) detects biogenic amines like histamine, which indicate spoilage in protein-rich foods.
  • After optimizing various parameters, the sensor achieved a detection limit of 0.21 μg/mL for histamine, which was further improved to 0.09 μg/mL using smartphone imaging and artificial neural networks.
  • The sensor effectively monitored histamine levels in chicken meat over three days, demonstrating its potential for real-time food freshness monitoring.

Background: Metastatic prostate cancer is a highly heterogeneous and dynamic disease and practicable tools for patient stratification and resistance monitoring are urgently needed. Liquid biopsy analysis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and circulating tumor DNA are promising, however, comprehensive testing is essential due to diverse mechanisms of resistance. Previously, we demonstrated the utility of mRNA-based in situ padlock probe hybridization for characterizing CTCs.

Microbeam X-ray and Scanning Electron Microscopic Analyses on Sector-Banded Spherulites of Poly(p-dioxanone) Justified with Pixelated Iridescence.

Polymers (Basel)

September 2024

Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering, National University of Kaohsiung, No. 700, Kaohsiung University Rd., Nan-Tzu Dist., Kaohsiung 811, Taiwan.

Poly(p-dioxanone) (PPDO) is crystallized with amorphous poly(p-vinyl phenol) (PVPh) and tannic acid (TA) as co-diluents to regulate and induce dendritic-ringed PPDO spherulites, with spoke- or sector-bands, aiming for convenience of analyses on interior lamellar assembly. Morphologies and interior lamellar arrangement leading to the peculiar rings on individual dendrites are evaluated by using polarized-light microscopy (PLM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Combinatory microbeam small-/wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS/WAXS) analyses further confirm the unique assembly patterns in periodic cycles.

Combinatorial library-based metabolic engineering approaches allow lower cost and faster strain development. We developed a genetic toolbox EXPRESS for combinatorial engineering of the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica. The toolbox enables consecutive rounds of engineering, where up to three combinatorially assembled gene expression cassettes can be integrated into each yeast clone per round.
