Abstract
Materials are the fundament of the physical world, whereas information and its exchange are the centerpieces of the digital world. Their fruitful synergy offers countless opportunities for realizing desired digital transformation processes in the physical world of materials. Yet, to date, a perfect connection between these worlds is missing. From the perspective, this can be achieved by overcoming the paradigm of considering materials as passive objects and turning them into perceptual, information-providing matter. This matter is capable of communicating associated digitally stored information, for example, its origin, fate, and material type as well as its intactness on demand. Herein, the concept of realizing perceptual, information-providing matter by integrating customizable (sub-)micrometer-sized communicating supraparticles (CSPs) is presented. They are assembled from individual nanoparticulate and/or (macro)molecular building blocks with spectrally differentiable signals that are either robust or stimuli-susceptible. Their combination yields functional signal characteristics that provide an identification signature and one or multiple stimuli-recorder features. This enables CSPs to communicate associated digital information on the tagged material and its encountered stimuli histories upon signal readout anywhere across its life cycle. Ultimately, CSPs link the materials and digital worlds with numerous use cases thereof, in particular fostering the transition into an age of sustainability.

Abstract
Identifying and ensuring the integrity of products plays an important role in today's globalized world. Miniaturized information taggants in the packaging surface are therefore required to monitor the product itself instead of applying external labels. Ideally, multiple types of information are stored in such additives. In this work, micrometer-sized core-shell particles (supraparticles) were developed to provide material surfaces with both an identifier and a surface abrasion indication functionality. The core of the supraparticles contains iron oxide nanoparticles that allow identification of the surface with a spectral magnetic code resolved by magnetic particle spectroscopy. The fluorescent silica nanoparticles in the supraparticle shell can be abraded by mechanical stress and resolved by fluorescence spectroscopy. This provides information about the mechanical integrity of the system. The application as surfaces, that contain several types of information in one supraparticle, was demonstrated here by incorporating such bifunctional supraparticles as additives in a surface coating.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2022; 18:e2107511.

Abstract
(Sub)micrometer-scaled identification (ID) taggants enable direct identification of arbitrary goods, thereby opening up application fields based on the possibility of tracking, tracing, and anti-counterfeiting. Due to their small dimensions, these taggants can equip in principle even the smallest subcomponents or raw materials with information. To achieve the demanded applicability, the mostly used optically encoded ID taggants must be further improved. Here, micrometer-scaled supraparticles with spectrally encoded luminescent and magnetically encoded signal characteristics are reported. They are produced in a readily customizable bottom-up fabrication procedure that enables precise adjustment of luminescent and magnetic properties on multiple hierarchy levels. The incorporation of commonly used magnetic nanoparticles and fluorescent dyes, respectively, into polymer nanocomposite particles, establishes a convenient toolbox of magnetic and luminescent building blocks. The subsequent assembly of selected building blocks in the desired ratios into supraparticles grants for all the flexibility to freely adjust both signal characteristics. The obtained spectrally resolved visible luminescent and invisible magnetic ID signatures are complementary in nature, thus expanding applicability and information security compared to recently reported optical- or magnetic-encoded taggants. Additionally, the introduced ID taggant supraparticles can significantly enhance the coding capacity. Therefore, the introduced supraparticles are considered as next-generation ID taggants.

A facile construction of bifunctional core-shell magnetic fluorescent Fe 3O 4@YVO 4:Eu 3+ microspheres for latent fingerprint detection. J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 605:425-431.

Abstract
Latent fingerprint recognition technique has received increasing attention because it helps to precisely identify human information for many applications. In this study, bifunctional core-shell magnetic fluorescent microspheres have been synthesized via a facile interface Pechini-type sol-gel method using citric acid and polyethylene glycol as chelating agent and cross-linking agent, respectively. The obtained Fe3O4@YVO4:Eu3+ microspheres possess a typical core-shell structure, large magnetization, and strong fluorescence emission. The surface morphology and roughness of the microspheres can be flexibly tuned by controlling the multistep interface deposition process and subsequent calcination temperatures. Due to their well-integrated bifunctionalities, these magnetic fluorescent microspheres show outstanding performance in the visualization of latent fingerprints on various substrates with high definition and excellent anti-interference, and therefore they have great potential for application in identity recognition.

Abstract
Magneto-fluorescent nanocomposites have been recognized as an emerging class of materials displaying great potential for improved magnetic hyperthermia assisted by optical imaging. In this study, we have designed a series of hybrid composites that consist of zinc doped ZnxFe3-xO4 ferrites functionalized by polyethylene-glycol (PEG8000) and an orange-emitting platinum complex [Pt(phen)Cl2]. Experimental and theoretical studies on the optimization of their magnetically-mediated heating properties were conducted. PEG was assembled around particles' surface by two different approaches; in situ and post-PEGylation. PEGylation ensured the optimal distance between the magnetic core and Pt(ii)-complex to maintain significant luminescence in the composite. The successful inclusion of the complex to the organic matrix was confirmed by a variety of spectroscopic techniques. A theoretical model was developed, based on linear response theory, in order to examine the composites' power losses dependence on their properties. Within this model, inter-particle interactions were quantified by inserting a mean dipolar energy term in the estimation of Néel relaxation time, and consequently, the size and concentration that maximize power loss were derived (20 nm and 4 mg mL-1). Moreover, a decrease in the anisotropy of nanoparticles resulted in an increase in specific loss power values. Theoretical estimations are validated by experimental data when heating aqueous dispersions of composites in 24 kA m-1, 765 kHz AMF for various values of concentration and size. Magnetic hyperthermia results showed that the theory-predicted values of optimum concentration and size delivered the maximum-specific loss power which was found equal to 545 W g-1. By the present approach, a quantitative link between the particles' dipolar interactions and their heating properties is established, while opening new perspectives to nanotheranostic applications.

Abstract
Nanoparticles exhibiting both magnetic and luminescent properties are need of the hour for many biological applications. A single compound exhibiting this combination of properties is uncommon. Herein, we report a strategy to synthesize a bifunctional luminomagnetic Gd2-xEuxO3 (x = 0.05 to 0.5) nanorod, with a diameter of ~20 nm and length in ~0.6 μm, using hydrothermal method. Gd2O3:Eu(3+) nanorods have been characterized by studying its structural, optical and magnetic properties. The advantage offered by photoluminescent imaging with Gd2O3:Eu(3+) nanorods is that this ultrafine nanorod material exhibits hypersensitive intense red emission (610 nm) with good brightness (quantum yield more than 90%), which is an essential parameter for high-contrast bioimaging, especially for overcoming auto fluorescent background. The utility of luminomagnetic nanorods for biological applications in high-contrast cell imaging capability and cell toxicity to image two human breast cancer cell lines T47D and MDA-MB-231 are also evaluated. Additionally, to understand the significance of shape of the nanostructure, the photoluminescence and paramagnetic characteristic of Gd2O3:Eu(3+) nanorods were compared with the spherical nanoparticles of Gd2O3:Eu(3+).

Abstract
Herein, we introduce a novel strategy for the synthesis of Eu3+ doped α-sodium gadolinium fluoride (α-NaGd0.88F4:Eu0.123+) based luminomagnetic nanophosphors using hydrothermal route. The synthesized nanophosphor has exceptional luminescent and paramagnetic properties in a single host lattice, which is highly desirable for biomedical applications. This highly luminescent nanophosphor with an average particle size ∼ 5±3 nm enables high-contrast fluorescent imaging with decreased light scattering. In vitro cellular uptake is shown by fluorescent microscopy that envisages the characteristic hypersensitive red emission of Eu3+ doped α-sodium gadolinium fluoride centered at 608 nm (5D0-7F2) upon 465 nm excitation wavelength. No apparent cytotoxicity is observed. Furthermore, time- resolved emission spectroscopy and SQUID magnetic measurements successfully demonstrate a photoluminescence decay time in microseconds and enhanced paramagnetic behavior respectively, which promises the applications of nanophosphors in biomedical studies. Hence, the obtained results strongly suggest that this nanophosphor could be potentially used as a bimodal nanoprobe for high-contrast in vitro bio-imaging of HeLa cells and external magnetic field tracking applications of luminomagnetic nanophosphors using permanent magnet.

Abstract
Multifunctional integration based on a single nanostructure is emerging as a promising paradigm to future functional materials. In this paper, novel magnetofluorescence nanobowls built with ferroferric mandrel and quantum dots exoderm is reported. Magnetic mandrels are stacked into nanobowls though hydrophobic primary Fe3O4 nanocrystals dragged into anion polyelectrolyte aqueous solution via forced solvent evaporation. Bright luminescence core/shell/shell CdSe/CdS/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) are modified with cationic hyperbranched polyethylenimine (PEI). Through electrostatic interactions, positively charged PEI-coated QDs are anchored on the surface of magnetic mandrel. Under this method, the luminescence of QDs is not quenched by magnetic partners in the resultant magnetoflurescence nanobowls. Such magnetoflurescence nanobowls exhibit high saturation magnetization, superparamagnetic characteristics at room temperature, superior water dispersibility, and excellent photoluminescence properties. The newly developed magnetoflurescence nanobowls open a new dimension in efforts toward multimodal imaging probes combining strong magnetization and efficient fluorescence in tandem for biosensors and clinical diagnostic imaging.

Abstract
In this study, we report new water-soluble multifunctional nanomaterials based on amphiphilic poly(HFMA-co-Eu(AA)3Phen)-g-PEG copolymers and oleic acid modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The nanoparticles can self-assemble to form magnetic and luminescent hybrid micelles and show a spherical morphology, paramagnetic properties with a maximum saturation magnetization of 7.05 emu g-1, and a high transverse relaxivity of 340 mM-1 s-1. According to in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) experiments, excellent contrast of the liver and spleen was achieved after injection of the hybrid micelles. Fluorescence spectra show characteristic emission peaks from the rare earth Eu at 616 nm and vivid red fluorescence can be observed by 2-photon confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). In vivo optical imaging demonstrates the unique fluorescent characteristics of the magnetic and luminescent hybrid micelles in the liver and spleen and the excellent multifunctional properties suggest the possibility of clinical use as nanocarriers in magnetic resonance imaging and optical imaging.

Abstract
We report ultrasensitive sub-10 nm NaMnF(3) nanocrystals codoped with Yb(3+), Er(3+)/Tm(3+) ions, and their intense pure red and near-infrared upconversion emissions in the presence of Mn(2+). The nanocrystals showed excellent T(1) contrast in 7 T MRI, implying their potential as single-phase contrast agents for fluorescent deep tissue and MR imaging.

Abstract
Highly luminescent-paramagnetic nanophosphors have a seminal role in biotechnology and biomedical research due to their potential applications in biolabeling, bioimaging, and drug delivery. Herein, the synthesis of high-quality, ultrafine, europium-doped yttrium oxide nanophosphors (Y(1.9)O(3):Eu(0.1)(3+)) using a modified sol-gel technique is reported and in vitro fluorescence imaging studies are demonstrated in human breast cancer cells. These highly luminescent nanophosphors with an average particle size of ≈6 nm provide high-contrast optical imaging and decreased light scattering. In vitro cellular uptake is shown by fluorescence microscopy, which visualizes the characteristic intense hypersensitive red emission of Eu(3+) peaking at 610 nm ((5)D(0)-(7)F(2)) upon 246 nm UV light excitation. No apparent cytotoxicity is observed. Subsequently, time-resolved emission spectroscopy and SQUID magnetometry measurements demonstrate a photoluminescence decay time in milliseconds and paramagnetic behavior, which assure applications of the nanophosphors in biomedical studies.

Abstract
We demonstrate a promising synthesis route based on pulsed laser dewetting of bilayer films (Ag and Co) to make bimetallic nanoparticle arrays. By combining experiment and theory we establish a parameter space for the independent control of composition and diameter for the bimetallic nanoparticles. As a result, physical properties, such as the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), that depend on particle size and composition can be readily tuned over a wavelength range one order of magnitude greater than for pure Ag nanoparticles. The LSPR detection sensitivity of the bimetallic nanoparticles with narrow size distribution was found to be high-comparable with pure Ag (∼60 nm/RIU). Moreover, they showed significantly higher long-term environmental stability over pure Ag.
