Efficient classical sampling from Gaussian boson sampling distributions on unweighted graphs

The authors propose Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms to sample from GBS distributions on unweighted graphs, and prove that it mixes in polynomial time for dense graphs. Numerical experiments on 256-vertex graphs are conducted, demonstrating that the algorithm improves the performance up to 10x.

Counter-propagating entangled photon pairs from monolayer GaSe

The emission of entangled photon pairs from layered materials is attractive for quantum applications, but its observation in monolayers has remained elusive. Here, the authors report co- and counter-propagating photon pair emission in the telecom range from monolayer GaSe and the observation of high-fidelity Bell states in the counterpropagating configuration.

Filamentous phages as tumour-targeting immunotherapeutic bionanofibres

Phages are known as human-safe nanosized viruses that specifically infect bacteria. This work shows that non-lytic filamentous phages displaying a PD-L1-binding peptide and a melanoma-targeting peptide can efficiently target tumours and inhibit tumour growth by blocking the immune checkpoint.

Thymoquinone as an electron transfer mediator to convert Type II photosensitizers to Type I photosensitizers

Developing Type I photosensitizers (PSs) is vital for tackling hypoxic intolerance of photodynamic therapy in the hypoxic microenvironment, but elusive due to the lack of a general molecular design strategy. Here the authors report a universal and simple method to covert traditional Type II PSs to Type I PSs.

Single-junction organic solar cells with over 19% efficiency enabled by a refined double-fibril network morphology

The morphology of donor–acceptor blends in organic photovoltaics dictates the efficiency of the exciton dissociation and charge diffusion, and thus the final device performance. Here, the authors show that filament assembly helps to maximize the output, further enabling a power conversion efficiency greater than 19%.

Non-faradaic junction sensing

A junction between an ionic conductor and an electronic conductor is called non-faradaic if no electrochemical reaction takes place. Such a junction can be used to sense various environmental signals, including pressure, sound, temperature and chemicals. This Review discusses non-faradaic junction sensors, with emphasis on the development of devices and materials.

Active acoustic field modulation of ultrasonic transducers with flexible composites

The development of technologies to manipulate acoustic waves relies on acoustic lenses and ultrasonic arrays, but it is limited by low transmission efficiencies or bulky setups. The authors propose a flexible and efficient piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer that generates intricate ultrasound wave patterns and deviate from conventional approaches.
