TL;DR: This work reviews recent advances and challenges in the developments towards applications of stimuli-responsive polymeric materials that are self-assembled from nanostructured building blocks and provides a critical outline of emerging developments.

TL;DR: It is reported that the metal film induces a polarization to the single nanoparticle light scattering, resulting in a doughnut-shaped point spread function when imaged in the far-field.

TL;DR: Examination of the impact of organic cation and inorganic layer choice on the exciton absorption/emission properties, among the set of compounds considered, reveals that perovskite layer distortion has a more global effect on theexciton properties than octahedral distortion.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that primary differentiated cells exhibit distinct mechanical properties compared to adult stem cells is tested and these findings will help more accurately model the cellular mechanical environment in mesenchymal tissues, which could assist in describing injury thresholds and disease progression or determining the influence of mechanical loading for tissue engineering efforts.

TL;DR: Stimulus-responsive polymer brushes (SRPBs) exhibit a change in conformation and structure, often accompanied by a noticeable change in surface energy, due to an external stimulus such as change in solvent composition, temperature, pH, ionic strength, light, or mechanical stress as discussed by the authors.
