The interpretation and analysis of the DFXM data presents significant challenges that have limited its broader adoption. Here we review our recent advances using artificial intelligence (AI) methods to enhance DFXM analysis, particularly focusing on dislocation characterization. We discuss the development of physics-informed AI approaches that combine theoretical understanding with data science techniques to enable both time-resolved dislocation dynamics studies and dimensional reduction of complex DFXM datasets. Our work demonstrates how semi-automated workflows, guided by dislocation theory and employing techniques such as wavelet transforms and Bayesian inference, can effectively track and analyze dislocation behavior across multiple time scales. These methodologies have been successfully applied to various materials science challenges, from studying thermally activated dislocation motion to characterizing dislocation networks. By presenting our works that integrate physics-based modeling into AI capabilities, we demonstrate how our and other works can extract new important quantitative dislocation data from DFXM measurements.Graphical abstract: ","PeriodicalId":19016,"journal":{"name":"MRS Communications","volume":"16 1","pages":"144-154"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13002649/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147499690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the basic principles of THz surface emission have been understood for more than 30 years, the constant progress in ultrafast laser science to ever shorter pulses, the development of new materials and enhanced sensitivity promote THz emission spectroscopy as a reliable method to gain insights into charge carrier dynamics with unprecedented precision. It provides a versatile tool to study ultrafast processes, such as plasmon-driven hot carriers, dynamics of Dirac fermions, interfacial charge transfer, coherent phonon emission and quantum beating, to name only a few. However, despite the rapidly growing body of research on van der Waals materials, especially in their low-dimensional limit, THz emission spectroscopy has only been applied to a limited extent in these material systems. In this prospective, we review time-domain THz emission spectroscopy as a complementary approach to probe ultrafast charge carrier dynamics and the material's nonlinear response. After a description of the experimental method, we report on THz emission spectroscopy of bulk and 2D van der Waals materials with special focus on graphene and transition metal dichalcogenide layers.Graphical abstract: ","PeriodicalId":19016,"journal":{"name":"MRS Communications","volume":"16 3","pages":"659-671"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13337885/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148405313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, attack from the host immune system represents a major challenge, requiring chronic immunosuppression to enable long-lived cell transplantation in vivo. Encapsulating cells in engineered biomaterials capable of excluding components of the host immune system while allowing for the transport of therapeutic proteins, oxygen, nutrients, metabolites, and waste products represents a potential solution. However, the foreign-body response can lead to isolation from native vasculature and hypoxia leading to cell death. In this prospective article, we highlight materials-based solutions to three important challenges in the field: (i) improving biocompatibility and reducing fibrosis; (ii) enhancing transport of secreted protein drugs and key nutrients and oxygen via engineered, semipermeable membranes; and (iii) improving oxygenation. These efforts draw on several disciplines in materials' research, including polymer science, surfaces, membranes, biomaterials' microfabrication, and flexible electronics. If successful, these efforts could lead to new therapies for chronic disease and are a rich space for both fundamental materials' discovery and applied translational science.Graphical abstract: ","PeriodicalId":19016,"journal":{"name":"MRS Communications","volume":"15 1","pages":"21-33"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11825545/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143433540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
