Luminescent molecules with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) property or AIE-active luminogens (AIE-gens) are typical stimuli-responsive materials. Many AIE-gens have shown luminescent responses to mechano-, thermo-, electro-, vapo-, and/or solvato-stimulus, but the detailed structure-property relationship has been a…

The sensitivity of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is dictated by the signal-to-noise ratio. It was recently noted that the signal-to-noise ratio could be substantially increased via excitation of certain metasurface eigenmodes. Here, we provide a detailed discussion of the wire metasurface eigenmode impact on the se…
