Tailored nanoscale quantum light sources, matching the specific needs of use cases, are crucial building blocks for photonic quantum technologies. Several different approaches to realize solid-state quantum emitters with high performance have been pursued and different concepts for energy tuning have been established. However, the properties of the emitted photons are always defined by the individual quantum emitter and can therefore not be controlled with full flexibility. Here we introduce an all-optical nonlinear method to tailor and control the single photon emission. We demonstrate a laser-controlled down-conversion process from an excited state of a semiconductor quantum three-level system. Based on this concept, we realize energy tuning and polarization control of the single photon emission with a control-laser field. Our results mark an important step towards tailored single photon emission from a photonic quantum system based on quantum optical principles.

As an enzyme that plays an important role in DNA repair, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) has become a popular target for cancer therapy. Nuclear medicine molecular imaging technology, supplemented by radiolabeled PARP-1 inhibitors, can accurately determine the expression level of PARP-1 at lesion sites to help patients choose an appropriate treatment plan. In this work, niraparib was modified with a hydrazinonicotinamide (HYNIC) group to generate the ligand NPBHYNIC, which has an affinity (IC) of 450.

Electrocatalytic NO reduction (NORR) to NH represents a promising approach for converting hazardous NO waste gases into high-value NH products under ambient conditions. However, exploring stable, low-cost, and highly efficient catalysts to enhance the NO-to-NH conversion process remains a significant challenge. Herein, through systematic computational studies based on density functional theory (DFT), we rationally designed transition metal triatomic cluster supported on graphdiyne (TM/GDY) as potential single-cluster catalysts for high-performance NORR.

This innovative method enables precise focus control within a monolithic metafiber device by allowing light coupled into any of the 37 cores to be precisely focused at predefined locations. Our approach demonstrates significant advances over conventional lenses and offers unique functionalities through computationally designed holograms.

Diatomic catalysts featuring a tunable structure and synergetic effects hold great promise for various reactions. However, their precise construction with specific configurations and diverse metal combinations is still challenging. Here, a selective etching and metal ion adsorption strategy is proposed to accurately assign a second metal atom (M) geminal to the single atom site (M-N) for constructing diatomic sites (e.
