Abstract
Multi-dimensional force sensing that combines intensity, location, area and the like could gather a wealth of information from mechanical stimuli. Developing materials with force-induced optical and electrical dual responses would provide unique opportunities to multi-dimensional force sensing, with electrical signals quantifying the force amplitude and the luminescence output providing spatial distribution of force. However, the reliance on external power supply and high-energy excitation source brings significant challenges to the applicability of multi-dimensional force sensors. Here we reported the mechanical energy-driven and sunlight-activated materials with force-induced dual responses, and investigated the underlying mechanisms of self-sustainable force sensing. Theoretical analysis and experimental data unraveled that trap-controlled luminescence and interfacial electron transfer play a major role in force-induced optical and electrical output. These materials were manufactured into pressure sensor with renewable dual-mode output for quantifying and visualization of pressures by electrical and optical output, respectively, without power supply and high-energy irradiation. The quantification of tactile sensation and stimuli localization of mice highlighted the multi-dimensional sensing ability of the sensor. Overall, this self-powered pressure sensor with multimodal output provides more modalities of force sensing, poised to change the way that intelligent devices sense with the world.

Abstract
Chirality, with its intrinsic symmetry-breaking feature, is frequently utilized in the creation of acentric crystalline functional materials that exhibit intriguing optoelectronic properties. On the other hand, the development of chiral crystals from achiral molecules offers a solution that bypasses the need for enantiopure motifs, presenting a promising alternative and thereby expanding the possibilities of the self-assembly toolkit. Nevertheless, the rational design of achiral molecules that prefer spontaneous symmetry breaking during crystallization has so far been obscure. In this study, we present a series of six achiral molecules, demonstrating that when these conformationally flexible molecules adopt a cis-conformation and engage in multiple non-covalent interactions along a helical path, they collectively self-assemble into chiral superstructures consisting of single-handed supramolecular columns. When these homochiral supramolecular columns align in parallel, they form polar crystals that exhibit intense luminescence upon grinding or scraping. We therefore demonstrate our molecular design strategy could significantly increase the likelihood of symmetry breaking in achiral molecular synthons during self-assembly, offering a facile access to novel chiral crystalline materials with unique optoelectronic properties.

Abstract
Mechanoluminescent materials are characterized by high luminescence intensity, high repeatability, no external voltage activation, and a good linear relationship between stress and mechanoluminescence intensity within a certain range. Therefore, mechanoluminescent materials have attracted increasing attention from researchers in the fields of stress sensing, encryption and anti-counterfeiting, structural health monitoring, energy-saving lighting, intelligent wearable devices, and other fields. In this study, ZnS:Mn powders with different Mn2+ ratios and different ion doping were synthesized by a high-temperature solid-phase reaction, and the synthesis of various materials was characterized. Then, the optimal mechanoluminescence effect of the ZnS:1%Mn,1%Li material was obtained. The photoluminescence intensity of ZnS:1%Mn,1%Li was 16.7 times higher than that of the sample without doping with Li+, and the mechanoluminescence intensity was 1.64 times higher. Finally, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film was combined with ZnS:Mn,Li mechanoluminescent powders to prepare flexible three-layer composite film. Based on this, a feasible strategy for the detection of temporomandibular disorders was proposed. The composite film is easy to use, economical, and safe, and has good mechanoluminescent performance, which has potential application value in the field of occlusal force detection and visualization.

Abstract
Self-powered flexible devices with skin-like multiple sensing ability have attracted great attentions due to their broad applications in the Internet of Things (IoT). Various methods have been proposed to enhance mechano-optic or electric performance of the flexible devices; however, it remains challenging to realize the display and accurate recognition of motion trajectories for intelligent control. Here, we present a fully self-powered mechanoluminescent-triboelectric bimodal sensor based on micro-nanostructured mechanoluminescent elastomer, which can patterned-display the force trajectories. The deformable liquid metals used as stretchable electrode make the stress transfer stable through overall device to achieve outstanding mechanoluminescence (with a gray value of 107 under a stimulus force as low as 0.3 N and more than 2000 cycles reproducibility). Moreover, a microstructured surface is constructed which endows the resulted composite with significantly improved triboelectric performances (voltage increases from 8 to 24 V). Based on the excellent bimodal sensing performances and durability of the obtained composite, a highly reliable intelligent control system by machine learning has been developed for controlling trolley, providing an approach for advanced visual interaction devices and smart wearable electronics in the future IoT era.

Abstract
Optogenetics has revolutionized neuroscience research through its spatiotemporally precise activation of specific neurons by illuminating light on opsin-expressing neurons. A long-standing challenge of in vivo optogenetics arises from the limited penetration depth of visible light in the neural tissue due to scattering and absorption of photons. To address this challenge, sono-optogenetics has been developed to enable spatiotemporally precise light production in a three-dimensional volume of neural tissue by leveraging the deep tissue penetration and focusing ability of ultrasound as well as circulation-delivered mechanoluminescent nanotransducers. Here, we present a comprehensive review of the sono-optogenetics method from the physical principles of ultrasound and mechanoluminescence to its emerging applications for unique neuroscience studies. We also discuss a few promising directions in which sono-optogenetics can make a lasting transformative impact on neuroscience research from the perspectives of mechanoluminescent materials, ultrasound-tissue interaction, to the unique neuroscience opportunities of "scanning optogenetics".

Abstract
Mechanoluminescent materials transform mechanical energy into visible light. Phenomena could prove to be advantageous to various next-generation monitoring systems employed in the fields of security and healthcare if the intrinsic mechanisms are fully understood. Scientific efforts are mainly hindered by the lack of equipment capable of controlled mechanical deformation and simultaneous collection of light emitted by the sample. This article describes an easily constructible material testing device (508 €) with an interchangeable test fixture and an integrated load cell made from readily available mechanical components and 3D printed parts. A commercial low-cost alternative to spectroscopic apparatus (200 €) has recently become available alongside a highly capable 16-bit CMOS camera intended for low light conditions (520 €). A highly modular prototype system with an overall cost much lower than commercial alternatives that provide less functionality could enable a larger portion of scientific personnel to contribute to a novel field of research.

Abstract
Mechanoluminescence has attracted increasing attentions because it can convert the kinetic energy during human daily motions into light to be used in sensors and displays. However, its practical applications are still hindered by the weak brightness and limited color while under large forces. Herein, we developed novel piezoluminescent devices (PLDs) which could effectively emit visible light under low pressing forces through the stress-concentration and enhancing deformation on the basis of carefully-designed array structures. The emitting colors were also tunable by using bilayer luminescent film under different pressures. This work not only provides a new strategy to effectively harvest mechanical energy into light, but also presents a scalable, low-cost and color-tunable PLD which shows great potentials in various applications such as luminescent floors, shoes and stress-activated displays.

Abstract
The sonication of terbium sulfate suspensions in benzene, toluene, and p-xylene induces intense UV luminescence (260-320 nm). The luminescence bands coincide with the fluorescence spectra of these aromatic hydrocarbons, but it is not observed in their sonoluminescence spectra. Furthermore, the spectra of ultrasound-initiated luminescence of the suspensions defined as sonotriboluminescence, which is 103 times more intense than the sonoluminescence of hydrocarbons, exhibit also emission from the ∗Tb3+ ion. The luminescence of ∗N2, which is observed during traditional triboluminescence of terbium sulfate in air, is hardly detectable in the case of sonolysis of terbium sulfate suspensions in aromatic hydrocarbons, but can be observed on decreasing the temperature of the suspensions, which decreases the saturated vapor pressure of the liquids. A possible mechanism of excitation of aromatic hydrocarbon molecules during sonotriboluminescence is discussed.
