A tunable metal surface composed of periodically arranged graphene nanodisks (GNDs) has been designed to achieve precise regulation of two-dimensional light fields. Since the distribution of hot spots (i.e., locally enhanced light fields) around GND is closely related to the polarization state, it can be reconfigured by rotating the polarization direction to transport trapped particles along the edge of the disk. By adjusting the Fermi level to activate the corresponding GND, the directional transmission of target particles between adjacent GND is realized. The rotation of the polarization direction determines the particle movement trajectory around GND. The target particle can move around GND in any direction by synchronously adjusting the Fermi energy level and the polarization angle. This innovative optical transport mechanism with high structural scalability can be widely used in on-chip optical fluid technology.

Background: Occupational therapists (OTs) play a crucial role in rehabilitation, aiming to improve the lives of individuals with sensory impairment and an increased risk of cognitive decline. Despite being responsible for cognitive screenings on occasion, they have expressed limited confidence in performing these with their clients with visual and/or hearing impairments (VI/HI). To improve this situation, OTs should gain expertise in collaborative sensory rehabilitation.

Optical tweezers, which leverage the forces exerted by radiation pressure, have emerged as a pivotal technique for precisely manipulating and analyzing microscopic particles. Since Arthur Ashkin's ground-breaking work in the 1970s and the subsequent development of the single-beam optical trap in 1986, the capabilities of optical tweezers have expanded significantly, enabling the intricate manipulation of biological specimens at the micro- and nanoscale. This review elucidates the foundational principles of optical trapping and their extensive applications in the biomedical sciences.

Background: Amyloidosis combined with lung cancer is a rare occurrence. To date, there are no reported cases of amyloid light-chain(AL) amyloidosis solely affecting the colon combined with pulmonary adenocarcinoma.
Case Summary: Here, we describe a case of a 66-year-old woman who presented with recurrent abdominal pain and was eventually diagnosed with AL amyloidosis with colon involvement and pulmonary adenocarcinoma.
Breaking the deep-red light absorption barrier of iridium(III)-based photosensitizers.

Activating photosensitizers with long-wavelength excitation is an important parameter for effective photodynamic therapy due to the minimal toxicity of this light, its superior tissue penetration, and excellent spatial resolution. Unfortunately, most Ir(III) complexes suffer from limited absorption within the phototherapeutic window, rendering them ineffective against deep-seated and/or large tumors, which poses a significant barrier to their clinical application. To address this issue, several efforts have been recently made to shift the absorption of Ir(III) photosensitizers to the deep-red/near-infrared region by using different strategies: functionalization with organic fluorophores, including porphyrinoid compounds, and ligand design π-extension and donor-acceptor interactions.
