A Strong and Rigid Coordination Adaptable Network that Can Be Reprocessed and Recycled at Mild Conditions

Published in CCS Chemistry, 2022

We designed a coordination adaptable network (CoAN) with high mechanical rigidity that can be rapidly reprocessed and recycled at mild temperatures with no loss in mechanical performance — superior to previously reported covalent adaptable networks.

Monolithic silicon for high spatiotemporal translational photostimulation

Published in Nature, 2024

We demonstrate leadless, multisite optical pacing of cardiac systems — including the first in-vivo optical pacing of a pig heart — using a non-genetic, semiconductor-based platform adaptable for minimally invasive clinical procedures.

Gold-modified nanoporous silicon for photoelectrochemical regulation of intracellular condensates

Published in Nature Nanotechnology, 2025

We reveal the mechanism by which a nanoporous silicon photocatalyst generates H₂O₂ under physiological conditions, and demonstrate precise modulation of intracellular stress granule formation to enhance cellular resilience — with efficacy validated in an ex vivo myocardial ischemia-reperfusion model.
