    Abstract: Systems and methods related to optical nanosensors comprising photoluminescent nanostructures are generally described. Generally, the nanosensors comprise a photoluminescent nanostructure and a polymer that interacts with the photoluminescent nanostructure. In some cases, the interaction between the polymer and the nanostructure can be non-covalent (e.g., via van der Waals interactions). The nanosensors comprising a polymer and a photoluminescent nanostructure may be particularly useful in determining the presence and/or concentration of relatively small molecules, in some embodiments. In addition, in some instances the nanosensors may be capable of determining relatively low concentrations of analytes, in some cases determining as little as a single molecule. In some embodiments, the interaction between the analyte and the nanosensor (e.g., between the analyte and the photoluminescent nanostructure) can be reversible, which may allow, for example, for the reuse of a nanosensor after it has been exposed to an analyte.

    Abstract translation: 通常描述与包含光致发光纳米结构的光学纳米传感器有关的系统和方法。 通常，纳米传感器包含光致发光纳米结构和与光致发光纳米结构相互作用的聚合物。 在一些情况下，聚合物和纳米结构之间的相互作用可以是非共价的（例如，通过范德华相互作用）。 在一些实施方案中，包含聚合物和光致发光纳米结构的纳米传感器可以特别用于确定相对较小分子的存在和/或浓度。 此外，在一些情况下，纳米传感器可能能够确定相对低浓度的分析物，在某些情况下确定与单个分子一样少。 在一些实施方案中，分析物和纳米传感器之间的相互作用（例如分析物和光致发光纳米结构之间）之间的相互作用可以是可逆的，这可以允许例如纳米传感器暴露于分析物之后重新利用它们。

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to materials, devices, and methods for resonant ambient thermal energy harvesting. Thermal energy can be harvested using thermoelectric resonators that capture and store ambient thermal fluctuations and convert the fluctuations to energy. The thermal resonators can include heat engines disposed between masses of varying sizes or diodes. The masses or diodes can be made of high and ultra-high effusivity materials to transfer thermal energy through the resonator and optimize power output. The masses or diodes of the resonator can be tuned to the dominant frequency of the temperature waveform to maximize the amount of energy being converted. The resonators can be added to existing structures to supply or generate power, and, in some embodiments, the structures themselves can be a mass of the thermal resonator. Methods for constructing and/or using such devices are also provided, as are methods for formulating ultra-high effusivity materials.

    Abstract: A composition for sensing an analyte can include a photoluminescent nanostructure (e.g. a carbon nanotube) complexed to a sensing polymer, where the sensing polymer includes a phenylboronic acid based polymer non-covalently bound to the photoluminescent nanostructure where the composition is capable of selectively binding the analyte, and the composition undergoes a substantial conformational change when binding the analyte. Separately, a composition for sensing an analyte can include a complex, where the complex include a photoluminescent nanostructure in an aqueous surfactant dispersion and a phenylboronic acid capable of selectively reacting with an analyte. The compositions can be used in devices and methods for sensing an analyte.
