Penetration Depth Of Light Research Articles

Methodological notes on physical parameters of low-level laser irradiation. Part 2. Light dosage at laser therapeutic sessions

Purpose. The general goal of this methodological article, consisting of two parts, is to provide a unifying theoretical approach to the still debated problem on determining the depth of laser light penetration into biotissues and the dosage of laser therapeutic effect from the standpoint of modern medical physics. The purpose of the second part of the article is to demonstrate that calculation of the absorbed dosage at laser therapy sessions is similar to the calculation of classical doses in radiobiology and radiation therapy.Materials and methods. The authors reviewed current state of terms and definitions related to the calculation of doses in ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. The Monte Carlo method was used to simulate the soft tissue volume in which 95 % of radiation energy is absorbed. A classical absorbed dose measured in Grays was estimated. Numerical simulation of absorbed doses for various typical laser therapy procedures was performed.Results. It has been shown that the effective irradiated volume of tissues, despite of small variations in soft tissue density between patients, allows to calculate the absorbed radiation dose in Grays, similar to radiobiological doses. Comparative findings on a single local absorbed dose for various percutaneous therapeutic procedures do not contradict the known clinical data, and even more, make the relationship of different doses for different therapeutic purposes more clear. As it has been found, typical doses range from 0.7 Gy for intravascular blood irradiation to 106 Gy for destructive photodynamic therapy and UV therapy procedures in dermatology.Conclusion. The proposed methodological approach proposes a new look at both the problem of the depth of laser light penetration into biotissues and the problem of laser light doses during therapeutic and diagnostic procedures from a unified medical and physical standpoint.

Reconfigurable magnonic crystals: Spin wave propagation in Pt/Co multilayer in saturated and stripe domain phase

To control the spin wave (SW) propagation, external energy sources such as magnetic fields, electric currents, or complex nanopatterning are used, which can be challenging at the deep nanoscale level. In this work, we overcome such limitations by demonstrating SW propagation in Pt/Co multilayers at a remanent state controlled by stripe domain patterns, using Brillouin light scattering and micromagnetic simulations. We show that parallel stripes with a periodicity around 100 nm exhibit reconfigurability, as the stripes can be rotated by applying the in-plane field without damaging their shape. This allows us to study SW propagation perpendicular and parallel to the stripes. We observe multimodal SW spectra—three bands in perpendicular and five in parallel geometry. Numerical results allow us to identify all observed modes and to explain the differences between two configurations by the unequal contribution of all three magnetization components in the SW dynamics. We find that the experimentally measured non-reciprocal dispersion (for the wavevector perpendicular to the stripes) is not the breaking of time-symmetry but the asymmetry in intensity of the measured signals of two different low-frequency modes, which is due to the inhomogeneous SW amplitude distribution over the multilayer thickness and the limited light penetration depth. Our results pave the way for easy reprogrammability and high energy efficiency in nanomagnonics.

A tumor Microenvironment-triggered protein-binding Near-infrared-II Theranostic nanoplatform for Mild-Temperature photothermal therapy

Photothermal therapy (PTT) has gained significant attention as a non-invasive treatment in clinical oncology. However, the translation of PTT into clinical practice remains constrained by three fundamental limitations: acquired thermal tolerance in tumor cells, restricted light penetration depth in biological matrices, and insufficient therapeutic outcomes from single-modality treatment. To address these issues, a strategy for forming in situ complexes between near-infrared-II (NIR-II) photothermal agents and proteins is developed, aimed at damaging protein conformation and enhancing PTT effectiveness. We developed a nanoplatform called PCy-SF, consisting of the NIR-II photothermal polymer (PCy) and sorafenib (SF). PCy-SF responds to the tumor microenvironment (TME), specifically releasing Cy-CHO and sorafenib from the assemblies. The released Cy-CHO covalently binds to proteins, forming Cy-Protein complexes that activate NIR-II fluorescence, facilitating NIR-II imaging-guided photothermal therapy. Concurrently, the released SF intensifies microvascular damage, synergizing with PTT for enhanced therapeutic efficacy. Notably, PCy-SF induces a strong anticancer immune response, effectively suppressing tumor recurrence and metastasis. This study introduces a promising protein deactivation strategy for achieving mild-temperature PTT, offering broader applicability of PTT and insights for sensitizing tumors to photothermal therapy. Together, this innovative approach combining NIR-II photothermal agents with protein complexation and a responsive nanoplatform enhances PTT precision and efficacy, demonstrating significant potential in the field of cancer nanomedicine.

Periodically asymmetric responses of deep chlorophyll maximum to light and thermocline in a clear monomictic lake: Insights from monthly and diel scale observations

Deep chlorophyll maximum (DCM), a chlorophyll peak in the water column, has important implications for biogeochemical cycles, energy flow and water surface algal blooms in deep lakes. However, how an observed periodically asymmetric DCM response to environmental variables remains unclear, limiting our in-depth understanding and effective eco-environmental management of deep lakes. Based on both monthly field investigations in 2021 and diel continuous observations in 2021–2023 in clear, monomictic Lake Fuxian, Southwest China, the temporal dynamics and drivers of DCM were examined and periodic features of DCM were found, with a formation period (FP, February–July) and a weakening period (WP, August–December). On the monthly scale, although DCM dynamics were partly attributed to thermocline structures, the role of light penetration depths varied with period. In the FP, the influence of light on DCM was direct, i.e., increased depth and thickness but decreased magnitude. Differently, the influence of light mainly occurred by affecting thermocline structures in the WP, where water quality was another important driver. On the diel scale, light was a major reason for a thicker and lower (magnitude) DCM during day than at night, and the response of DCM to environmental factors between the FP and WP differed also more during day. This periodically asymmetric response of daytime DCM not only being caused by light but possibly also related to other physical factors such as lake surface water temperature, wind speed and precipitation. Bayesian network modelling suggested that water darkening and stratification intensification may promote a shallower, thinner and larger (magnitude) DCM in both FP and WP, but achieving such changes in DCM requires different light and thermocline thresholds. Our findings provide new information valuable for modelling DCM and for predicting the related surface algal blooms in deep lakes under climate change and eutrophication.

Optimization of the Treatment of Squamous Cell Carcinoma Cells by Combining Photodynamic Therapy with Cold Atmospheric Plasma

Actinic keratosis (AK) is characterized by a reddish or occasionally skin-toned rough patch on sun-damaged skin, and it is regarded as a precursor to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Photodynamic therapy (PDT), utilizing 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) along with red light, is a recognized treatment option for AK that is limited by the penetration depth of light and the distribution of the photosensitizer into the skin. Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is a partially ionized gas with permeability-enhancing and anti-cancer properties. This study analyzed, in vitro, whether a combined treatment of CAP and ALA-PDT may improve the efficacy of the treatment. In addition, the effect of the application sequence of ALA and CAP was investigated using in vitro assays and the molecular characterization of human oral SCC cell lines (SCC-9, SCC-15, SCC-111), human cutaneous SCC cell lines (SCL-1, SCL-2, A431), and normal human epidermal keratinocytes (HEKn). The anti-tumor effect was determined by migration, invasion, and apoptosis assays and supported the improved efficacy of ALA-PDT in combination with CAP. However, the application sequence ALA-CAP–red light seems to be more efficacious than CAP-ALA–red light, which is probably due to increased intracellular ROS levels when ALA is applied first, followed by CAP and red light treatment. Furthermore, the expression of apoptosis- and senescence-related molecules (caspase-3, -6, -9, p16INK4a, p21CIP1) was increased, and different genes of the junctional network (ZO-1, CX31, CLDN1, CTNNB1) were induced after the combined treatment of CAP plus ALA-PDT. HEKn, however, were much less affected than SCC cells. Overall, the results show that CAP may improve the anti-tumor effects of conventional ALA-PDT on SCC cells. Whether this combined application is successful in treating AK in vivo has to be carefully examined in follow-up studies.

Photodynamic Therapy for Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Current Status, Challenges, and Prospects.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most prevalent and deadly malignancy of the head and neck. The standard treatments for OSCC are surgery, radiotherapy, and chemoradiotherapy, which can cause severe cosmetic and functional damage to the oral cavity and impair the patients' quality of life. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising alternative that uses light-activated photosensitizers to induce selective phototoxicity and necrosis in the target tissues. PDT has several advantages over conventional treatments, such as minimal invasion, low side effects, high selectivity and preservation of the oral function and appearance. This review explores the principles, mechanisms, and current applications of PDT for OSCC. We address the challenges, such as the depth of light penetration and tissue hypoxia, and underscore the progressive innovations in photosensitizer enhancement, nanotechnological integration, and precision therapy. The exploration of biomarkers for refining patient selection and tailoring individualized treatment regimens is also undertaken. PDT holds promise as a secure and efficacious modality for OSCC management. Nonetheless, additional investigation is imperative to refine treatment protocols and validate sustained therapeutic success.

Rapid full-color serial sectioning tomography with speckle illumination and ultraviolet excitation

Three-dimensional (3D) high-resolution large-volume imaging has remained a challenge. Translational rapid ultraviolet-excited sectioning tomography (TRUST) achieves rapid and cost-effective whole-organ subcellular imaging through iterative optical scanning and mechanical sectioning. However, the axial resolution is limited by the mechanical sectioning thickness or the UV light penetration depth in tissue. Here, assisted with high-and-low-frequency (HiLo) microscopy (HiLoTRUST), the optical sectioning thickness has been reduced from tens of micrometers to ~5.8 µm. In addition, HiLoTRUST has attained a finer mechanical sectioning thickness (10–15 µm) compared to TRUST (50 µm). For high-content imaging as in TRUST, we employed two additional UV light-emitting diodes (LEDs) specifically for uniform illumination. The full-color imaging ability and improved axial resolution of HiLoTRUST have been validated by two-dimensional (2D)/3D imaging of various mouse organs and human lung cancer specimens. HiLoTRUST offers a cost-effective, full-color, and high-resolution 3D imaging approach, showing its great potential in 3D histology applications.

Fiber Optic-Mediated Type I Photodynamic Therapy of Brain Glioblastoma Based on an Aggregation-Induced Emission Photosensitizer.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the most lethal human malignancies. The current standard-of-care is highly invasive with strong toxic side effects, leading to poor prognosis and high mortality. As a safe and effective clinical approach, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a suitable option for GBM. Nevertheless, its implementation is significantly impeded by the limits of light penetration depth and the firm reliance on oxygen. To overcome these challenges, herein, a promising strategy that harnesses a modified optical fiber and less oxygen-dependent Type I aggregation-induced emission (AIE) photosensitizer (PS) is developed for the first time to realize in vivo GBM treatments. The proposed AIE PS, namely TTTMN, characterized by a highly twisted molecular architecture and a bulky spacer, exhibits enhanced near-infrared emission and strong production of hydroxyl and superoxide radicals at the aggregated state, thus affording efficient fluorescence imaging-guided PDT once formulated into nanoparticles. The inhibition of orthotopic and subcutaneous GBM xenografts provides compelling evidence of the treatment efficacy of Type I PDT irradiated through a tumor-inserted optical fiber. These findings highlight the substantially improved therapeutic outcomes achieved through fiber optic-mediated Type I PDT, positioning it as a promising therapeutic modality for GBM.

Bioluminescence Resonance Energy Transfer (BRET)-Mediated Protein Release from Self-Illuminating Photoresponsive Biomaterials.

Phototriggered release of various cargos, including soluble protein factors and small molecules, has the potential to correct aberrant biological events by offering spatiotemporal control over local therapeutic levels. However, the poor penetration depth of light historically limits implementation to subdermal regions, necessitating alternative methods of light delivery to achieve the full potential of photodynamic therapeutic release. Here, we introduce a strategy exploiting bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET)-an energy transfer process between light-emitting Nanoluciferase (NLuc) and a photosensitive acceptor molecule-to drive biomolecule release from hydrogel biomaterials. Through a facile, one-pot, and high-yielding synthesis (60-70%), we synthesized a heterobifunctional ruthenium cross-linker bearing an aldehyde and an azide (CHO-Ru-N3), a compound that we demonstrate undergoes predictable exchange of the azide-bearing ligand under blue-green light irradiation (>550 nm). Following site-specific conjugation to NLuc via sortase-tag enhanced protein ligation (STEPL), the modified protein was covalently attached to a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based hydrogel via strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC). Leveraging the high photosensitivity of Ru compounds, we demonstrate rapid and equivalent release of epidermal growth factor (EGF) via either direct illumination or via BRET-based bioluminolysis. As NLuc-originated luminescence can be controlled equivalently throughout the body, we anticipate that this unique protein release strategy will find use for locally triggered drug delivery following systemic administration of a small molecule.

Experimental and clinical combined photodynamic therapy for malignant and premalignant lesions using various types of radiation

The aim of the study was to present various types of radiation that can increase the effectiveness of combined photodynamic therapy (PDT) for malignant and premalignant lesions. Material and Methods. The Web of Science, Scopus, MedLine, Library, and RSCI databases were used for finding publications on this topic, mainly over the last 10 years. Of 230 sources, 64 were included in the review. Results. Photodynamic therapy is a new cancer treatment technology that has become increasingly popular in recent years. It is often an alternative method of treating cancer when there is a high risk of side effects and complications during traditional treatments such as surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. PDT requires a photosensitizer, light energy, and oxygen to create reactive oxygen species that destroy cancer cells. This review examines the basic principles and mechanisms of PDT used alone and in combination with other traditional therapies. Despite the fact that PDT is an effective and non-invasive cancer treatment, it has some limitations, such as low light penetration depth, ineffective photosensitizers and tumor hypoxia. Our study examines new strategies that use other energy sources, such as infrared- and x-rays, ultrasound, as well as electric and magnetic fields, to enhance the PDT effect and overcome its limitations. Great hopes are also associated with the use of a combination of PDT and neutron capture therapy (NСT). Currently, chlorin derivatives associated with boron carriers have been developed. They can be used for both fluorescence diagnostics and PDT, as well as for NСT. The synthesized compounds have a high selectivity of accumulation in the tumor. To date, encouraging preclinical results of high efficiency of combined use of NСT and PDT have already been obtained. Conclusion. Combination with various energy sources is a key factor for further development of PDT. Future research aimed at overcoming the limitations of PDT will contribute to unlocking the full potential of this technology in clinical practice.

Recent Advances in Light Penetration Depth for Postharvest Quality Evaluation of Fruits and Vegetables.

Light penetration depth, as a characteristic parameter reflecting light attenuation and transmission in biological tissues, has been applied in nondestructive detection of fruits and vegetables. Recently, with emergence of new optical detection technologies, researchers have begun to explore methods evaluating optical properties of double-layer or even multilayer fruit and vegetable tissues due to the differences between peel and pulp in the chemical composition and physical properties, which has gradually promoted studies on light penetration depth. A series of demonstrated research on light penetration depth could ensure the accuracy of the optical information obtained from each layer of tissue, which is beneficial to enhance detection accuracy for quality assessment of fruits and vegetables. Therefore, the aim of this review is to give detailed outlines about the theory and principle of light penetration depth based on several emerging optical detection technologies and to focus primarily on its applications in the field of quality evaluation of fruits and vegetables, its future applicability in fruits and vegetables and the challenges it may face in the future.

Silver-Organic Complex in Photosensitive Silver Pastes for Enhanced Resolution and Aspect Ratio.

Traditional screen printing is an easy approach commonly used for conductive pattern fabrication of electronics but lacks high resolution. Photolithography offers better resolution but is complex. Photosensitive silver pastes (PSP) combine the benefits of both but suffer from undercut issues, causing uneven etching, decreased interfacial adhesion, and thus poor resolutions. In this study, we explore the use of molecular precursors (i.e., silver oxalate) to replace metallic silver particles and enhance the depth of light penetration. Our findings demonstrate a successful solution to the undercut issue, achieving an undercut index of 1.0, indicating an undercut-free scenario and enabling higher resolutions in line and pattern formation. Additionally, our research confirms the feasibility of multilayer stacking of photosensitive pastes, achieving unprecedented aspect ratios in line patterns. By replacing 25% of micrometer silver powder with silver oxalate (PSP-25), we achieved optimal line widths as fine as 10 μm. The three-layer stack of PSP-25 reached a substantial aspect ratio with a height of 29.4 μm and an optimal fringe pattern resolution of 10 μm line width with a 15 μm aisle width. Utilization of silver oxalate was observed to slightly expand the line width, likely due to light scattering by the fine silver nanoparticles (∼40 nm) formed during the photodecomposition of silver oxalate.

Near-infrared pH-switchable BODIPY photosensitizers for dual biotin/cRGD targeted photodynamic therapy

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a clinically-approved cancer treatment that is based on production of cytotoxic reactive oxygen species to induce cell death. However, its efficiency depends on distribution of photosensitizer (PS) and depth of light penetration through the tissues. Tendency of pathological cancer tissues to exhibit lower pH than healthy tissues inspired us to explore dual-targeted pH-activatable photosensitizers based on tunable near-infrared (NIR) boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) dyes. Our BODIPY PSs were designed to carry three main attributes: (i) biotin or cRGD peptide as an effective cancer cell targeting unit, (ii) amino moiety that is protonated in acidic (pH <6.5) conditions for pH-activation of the PS based on photoinduced electron transfer (PET) and (iii) hydrophilic groups enhancing the water solubility of very hydrophobic BODIPY dyes. Illumination of such compounds with suitable light (>640nm) allowed for high phototoxicity against HeLa (αvβ3 integrin and biotin receptor positive) and A549 (biotin receptor positive) cells compared to healthy MRC-5 (biotin negative) cells. Moreover, no dark toxicity was observed on selected cell lines (>10 μM) providing promising photosensitizers for tumour-targeted photodynamic therapy.

Single Molecule Imaging of Sp3 Functionalized Ultrashort Carbon Nanotubes for Deep Brain Tissue Investigation

Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence microscopy has attracted significant attention for in vivo deep tissue imaging due to the combination of low light scattering and absorption by the tissues, resulting in good light penetration depth, especially in the NIR-II window (~1000–1350 nm). In this context, NIR photoluminescence (PL) (λem ~ 900–1400 nm) of single-walled carbon nanotubes overlapping with the so-called “tissue transparency window” laid the foundation for their use in bioimaging and sensing applications. Interestingly, although ultrashort carbon nanotubes (usCNTs) had long been sought for their advantages of mimicking bio-molecular dimensions, it is only when sp3 defects introduced bright fluorescent usCNTs could be generated [1]. In this work, we demonstrate the efficient preparation of bright fluorescent usCNTs specifically designed for biological applications, and we show how to create bright usCNTs wrapped by a biocompatible encapsulating agent (phospholipid-polyethylene glycol, PL-PEG). More precisely, we adapted a synthesis route where the sp3 functionalization is followed by chemical cutting [2]. We will present their full characterization and demonstrate their performance for deep tissue imaging in neuroscience. More precisely, our results performed on live brain tissue allow us to analyze their length specific behaviors in different compartments of mouse brains in comparison to the long sp3 functionalized CNTs [3].

Development of a Self-Luminescent Living Bioreactor for Enhancing Photodynamic Therapy in Breast Cancer.

The penetration ability of visible light (<2 mm) and near-infrared (NIR) light (∼1 cm) remarkably impairs the therapeutic efficacy and clinical applications of photodynamic therapy (PDT). To address the limitation of light penetration depth, a novel self-luminescent bacterium, teLuc.FP-EcN, has been engineered through transfection of a fusion expression plasmid containing the luciferase gene teLuc and bright red fluorescent protein mScarlet-I into Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN). The engineered teLuc.FP-EcN can specifically target and colonize tumors without significant toxicity to the host. Acting as a continuous internal light source, teLuc.FP-EcN can activate the photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and then effectively destroy tumor tissue from the inside. As a result, a significant reduction in tumor proliferation and extension of the overall survival in mouse tumor models has been observed. Furthermore, teLuc.FP-EcN-boosted PDT amplified its therapeutic effect by activating antitumor immune response, including the conversion of M2 macrophages into pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages, as well as an increase in the proportion of CD3+ T cells and a decrease in T-cell exhaustion. In conclusion, teLuc.FP-EcN can be used as an implantable light source for tumor phototherapy, which simultaneously possesses ROS generation and immune regulation.

Tumor microenvironment-modulated nanoparticles with cascade energy transfer as internal light sources for photodynamic therapy of deep-seated tumors

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an appealing modality for cancer treatments. However, the limited tissue penetration depth of external-excitation light makes PDT impossible in treating deep-seated tumors. Meanwhile, tumor hypoxia and intracellular reductive microenvironment restrain the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). To overcome these limitations, a tumor-targeted self-illuminating supramolecular nanoparticle T-NPCe6-L-N is proposed by integrating photosensitizer Ce6 with luminol and nitric oxide (NO) for chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (CRET)-activated PDT. The high H2O2 level in tumor can trigger chemiluminescence of luminol to realize CRET-activated PDT without exposure of external light. Meanwhile, the released NO significantly relieves tumor hypoxia via vascular normalization and reduces intracellular reductive GSH level, further enhancing ROS abundance. Importantly, due to the different ROS levels between cancer cells and normal cells, T-NPCe6-L-N can selectively trigger PDT in cancer cells while sparing normal cells, which ensured low side effect. The combination of CRET-based photosensitizer-activation and tumor microenvironment modulation overcomes the innate challenges of conventional PDT, demonstrating efficient inhibition of orthotopic and metastatic tumors on mice. It also provoked potent immunogenic cell death to ensure long-term suppression effects. The proof-of-concept research proved as a new strategy to solve the dilemma of PDT in treatment of deep-seated tumors.

Optical parameters of healthy and tumor breast tissues in mice.

Knowledge of the optical parameters of tumors is important for choosing the correct laser treatment parameters. In this paper, optical properties and refraction indices of breast tissue in healthy mice and a 4T1 model mimicking human breast cancer have been measured. A significant decrease in both the scattering and refractive index of tumor tissue has been observed. The change in tissue morphology has induced the change in the slope of the scattering spectrum. Thus, the light penetration depth into tumor has increased by almost 1.5-2 times in the near infrared "optical windows." Raman spectra have shown lower lipid content and higher protein content in tumor. The difference in the optical parameters of the tissues under study makes it possible to reliably differentiate them. The results may be useful for modeling the distribution of laser radiation in healthy tissues and cancers for deriving optimal irradiation conditions in photodynamic therapy.

A light-fueled self-rolling unicycle with a liquid crystal elastomer rod engine

Active materials hold substantial potential for self-sustaining motion, however, the dependency on movable light or extensive area illumination in current structures often restricts the design and practical deployment of such active machines. In this study, we report a novel zero-energy-mode, self-rolling unicycle equipped with a liquid crystal elastomer rod engine, which fueled by a fixed, small-area light source. By employing an elaborate dynamic model for liquid crystal elastomer, we derive the lateral curvature of the liquid crystal elastomer rod and the driving moment necessary for the unicycle's self-rolling. The study results demonstrate that the self-rolling of the unicycle is driven by a moment induced by the shift in the center of gravity of the curved liquid crystal elastomer rod. Our numerical simulations indicate the presence of a supercritical Hopf bifurcation point delineating the transition between the self-rolling mode and the static mode within the unicycle system. Additionally, the rolling velocity of the unicycle relies on a handful of key system parameters, notably including light intensity, light penetration depth, length of the liquid crystal elastomer rod, rolling friction coefficient, total mass of the unicycle, and wheel radius of the unicycle. The experimental validation of a self-rolling unicycle with zero-energy-mode has been conducted. The self-rolling unicycle constructed in this paper has excellent characteristics of simple structure, zero-energy-mode, horizontal constant light source, and small area light source, providing valuable insights for the utilization of photoresponsive liquid crystal elastomer rods in soft robotics, medical devices, energy harvesting systems, and actuators.

Self-rotation-eversion of an anisotropic-friction-surface torus

Recent experiments have revealed a new end-to-end ribbon spiral structure capable of demonstrating two interconnected periodic zero-energy-mode self-rotation-eversion in reaction to constant temperature or constant light sources, yet its fabrication is challenging due to its intricate nature. Differently, this paper develops a light-fueled self-rotating and everting liquid crystal elastomer torus on an isotropic frictional plane, by imparting anisotropic frictional properties to the surface of the torus. Based on a mature dynamic liquid crystal elastomer model, we constructed the theoretical model of the torus system. The torus is capable of absorbing the illumination energy to counteract damping dissipation and produce zero-energy-mode self-eversion-rotation. Theoretical findings demonstrate that the angular velocity of self-eversion is influenced by light intensity, light penetration depth, gravitational acceleration and anisotropic friction surface. Moreover, there is a proportional relationship between the self-rotation and self-eversion angular velocities, which is determined by the anisotropic frictional surface. The detailed criterion for the self-rotation direction is also established. Theoretical findings exhibit several similar phenomena to experimental observations. This paper proposes a new simple strategy that utilizes anisotropic friction surface to control self-eversion-rotation, which has guiding significance for the application of soft robots, active devices, and energy harvesters.
