Exciting such field topologies relies on selection rules related to various conserved quantities. Unfortunately, existing algebraic rules focus primarily on scalar singularities in nano-optical (e.g., plasmonic) systems and largely neglect the vectorial nature of the fields. More critically, these rules remain phenomenological. Given the intrinsic link between conserved quantities and symmetries, here we establish a unified selection rule using group theory that govern the excitations of nontrivial field topologies across three photonic spin states in generic nanophotonic systems. This rule can act as building blocks for constructing selection rules for exciting and engineering higher-dimensional field topologies (embedded within vectorial singularities and quasiparticles). These rules are derived purely from symmetry arguments and are therefore rooted in first principles. The proposed rules further predict two novel physical effects in plasmonic systems: spin-orbit splitting of vortices and multidimensional nested vortices. Phase-resolved in-situ measurements of nested multidimensional plasmonic topologies well demonstrate our findings. Our group-theory-based approach can serve as a versatile framework for engineering symmetry- and singularity-related phenomena—like circular meron lattices and plasmonic quasicrystals—in diverse wave systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":117,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Science","volume":"13 62","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":14.1,"publicationDate":"2026-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13455830/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148700147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we develop an inhalable nanoformulation of the traditional Chinese medicine Huaxian Formula (NHXF) with favorable physicochemical stability and enhanced pulmonary delivery properties. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate that NHXF attenuates radiation-induced alveolar epithelial injury, accompanied by reductions in oxidative stress and apoptosis. NHXF also suppresses secondary inflammatory responses, as evidenced by decreased pro-inflammatory cytokine production and neutrophil infiltration, which may contribute to its protective effects against acute RILI. Importantly, NHXF displays a favorable safety profile throughout treatment. Transcriptomic analysis highlights ferroptosis-related pathways associated with NHXF-mediated protection. Our findings indicate that NHXF treatment is associated with the attenuation of ferroptosis-related alterations in iron homeostasis and lipid peroxidation. Pharmacological activation of ferroptosis significantly diminishes the protective effects of NHXF against radiation-induced injury, further supporting a functional contribution of ferroptosis modulation to NHXF-mediated protection, while acknowledging that additional direct mechanistic evidence is warranted to establish causal dependency.

Using dual-material additive manufacturing, each cell integrates thermally responsive and passive thermoplastics to achieve cold-programmed bistability and sequential 4D actuation. This approach is validated through three functional mechanisms: (i) multimodal bridging structures capable of both mechanically and thermally induced reconfigurations; (ii) multistable 4D grippers capable of inward and outward transformations; and (iii) a biomimetic underwater cleaning robot that autonomously collects and encloses floating debris through sequential thermal recovery.
