Multidirectional Colossal Polarization in a Centrosymmetric Crystal via Long-Range Ion Displacement
Herein, we demonstrate that colossal polarization occurs by long-range ion displacement even in the nonpolar proton conductor Na2MnN(CN)4·3.25H2O (1·H2O).

Thermally Robust and Strongly Pressure-Responsive NIR Luminescent Manometer Based on Cr3+-Ni2+ Emission
In this work, we introduce NaLu2Ga3Ge2O12:Cr3+, Ni2+ as a highly sensitive NIR luminescent manometer in which pressure not only induces pronounced spectral shifts of the Cr3+ and Ni2+ emission bands but also strongly modulates their relative luminescence intensities.

Superfluorescence as a cooperative amplifier of hidden anisotropy in a ferroelectric hybrid perovskite
Remarkably, macroscopic polarization emerges without external bias despite randomly oriented microscopic domains, suggesting a cooperative gain mechanism that amplifies weak local anisotropies by several orders of magnitude into coherent, linearly polarized light bursts.
