We theoretically investigate the comprehensive modulation effect of interlayer twisting and external electric field to the two-photon absorption (TPA) in twisted graphene/hexagonal boron nitride (tG/hBN) heterojunction with small twist angles (2° < θ < 10°) starting from an effective continuum model. It is found that the TPA of tG/hBN is extended to the visible light band from infrared light band of that in twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG) due to the increase in energy band gap caused by twisting and the potential energy of the boron nitride atomic layer. And the TPA coefficient is enhanced several times via an external electric field, which increases the density of states, leading to an increase transition probability for two-photon absorption.

A poor charge transfer (CT) characteristic between FTiOPc and axial ligand C is observed due to the attraction of the C-F bonds to the electron cloud. In addition, the CT characteristic can be effectively improved by peripheral substitution of H-atoms or tetra--butyl groups, and superior one-/two-photon absorption properties can also be achieved owing to the σ-π hyperconjugation effect in tetra--butyl groups.

Colloidal II-VI nanocrystals have garnered significant research attention in nonlinear optical applications due to their low-cost synthesis, photophysical tunability, and ease of device integration. Herein, we report that dual-type II CdSe/CdTe/CdSe colloidal quantum wells (CQWs) with core/crown/crown structures achieve remarkable nonlinear optical limiting capabilities driven by an exceptionally large nonlinear absorption coefficient. Open aperture -scan reveals that these dual-type II CQWs exhibit a third-order nonlinear absorption coefficient of 33.

Multiplex optogenetic applications require spectrally separated molecules that must be found in nature, as they are difficult to engineer without disrupting channel function. Scanning numerous sequence databases, we identified three robust naturally blue-shifted ChRs from ancyromonads.

Fluorescence imaging is a key tool for visualizing the morphology and dynamics of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) in living cells to understand their role in regulating the growth, development, and reproduction of organisms. However, effective probes capable of simultaneously targeting both DNA and RNA, as well as tools for analyzing their distribution and relative ratios in organisms, are currently lacking. Therefore, fluorine-nitrogen codoped carbon dots with two-photon absorption (F-NCDs) were synthesized by the hydrothermal method and exhibited stable fluorescence, good biocompatibility, and a fluorescence lifetime sensitive to nucleic acids (DNA and RNA).
