The abstract supports that these materials rely on engineered active surfaces or related nanostructuring.; requires engineered active-surface nanostructures
Needs compatible illumination hardware and optical access. Independent follow-up evidence is still limited. Validation breadth across biological contexts is still narrow. Independent reuse still looks limited, so the evidence base may be fragile. No canonical validation observations are stored yet, so context-specific performance remains under-specified.
