The new agreement specifically addresses what authors can do with different versions of their manuscript -e.g. use in theses and collections, teaching and training, conference presentations, sharing with colleagues, and posting on websites and repositories. The terms under which these uses can occur are clearly identified to prevent misunderstandings that could jeopardize final publication of a manuscript (Section II, Permitted Uses by Authors). Easy Reference User Guide Posting Accepted and Published Works on Websites and Repositories:A digital file of the Accepted Work and/or the Published Work may be made publicly available on websites or repositories (e.g. the Author's personal website, preprint servers, university networks or primary employer's institutional websites, third party institutional or subject-based repositories, and conference websites that feature presentations by the Author(s) based on the Accepted and/or the Published Work) under the following conditions:• It is mandated by the Author(s)' funding agency, primary employer, or, in the case of Author(s) employed in academia, university administration.• If the mandated public availability of the Accepted Manuscript is sooner than 12 months after online publication of the Published Work, a waiver from the relevant institutional policy should be sought. If a waiver cannot be obtained, the Author(s) may sponsor the immediate availability of the final Published Work through participation in the ACS AuthorChoice program-for information about this program see http://pubs.acs.org/page/policy/authorchoice/index.html.• If the mandated public availability of the Accepted Manuscript is not sooner than 12 months after online publication of the Published Work, the Accepted Manuscript may be posted to the mandated website or repository. The following notice should be included at the time of posting, or the posting amended as appropriate: "This document is the Accepted Manuscript version of a Published Work that appeared in final form in [JournalTitle], copyright © American Chemical Society after peer review and technical editing by the publisher. To access the final edited and published work see [insert ACS Articles on Request authordirected link to Published Work, see http://pubs.acs.org/page/policy/articlesonrequest/index.html]." • The posting must be for non-commercial purposes and not violate the ACS' "Ethical Guidelines to Publication of Chemical Research" (see http://pubs.acs.org/ethics).• Regardless of any mandated public availability date of a digital file of the final Published Work, Author(s) may make this file available only via the ACS AuthorChoice Program.

This work paves the way to a generic approach for developing surface-based ion sensors using a range of sensor molecules, which can be attached to a surface without the need for its chemical modifica...

The probing of physiological processes in living organisms is a grand challenge that requires bespoke analytical tools. Optical fiber probes offer a minimally invasive approach to report physiological signals from specific locations inside the body. This perspective article discusses a wide range of such fiber probes developed at the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale BioPhotonics. Our fiber platforms use a range of sensing modalities, including embedded nanodiamonds for magnetometry, interferometric fiber cavities for refractive index sensing, and tailored metal coatings for surface plasmon resonance sensing. Other fiber probes exploit molecularly sensitive Raman scattering or fluorescence where optical fibers have been combined with chemical and immunosensors. Fiber imaging probes based on interferometry and computational imaging are also discussed as emerging in vivo diagnostic devices. We provide examples to illustrate how the convergence of multiple scientific disciplines generates opportunities for the fiber probes to address key challenges in real-time in vivo diagnostics. These future fiber probes will enable the asking and answering of scientific questions that were never possible before.

The efficient and accurate fabrication of Microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) requires a practical understanding of the 'draw process' beyond what is achievable by trial and error, which requires the ability to predict the experimental drawing parameters needed to produce the desired final geometry. Our results show that the Fitt et al. fluid-mechanics model for describing the draw process of a single axisymmetric capillary fiber provides practical insights when applied to more complex multi-hole symmetric and asymmetric MOF geometries. By establishing a method to relate the multi-hole MOF geometry to a capillary and understanding how material temperature varies with the draw tower temperature profile, it was found that analytical equations given by the Fitt model could be used to predict the parameters necessary for the chosen structure. We show how this model provides a practical framework that contributes to the efficient and accurate fabrication of the desired MOF geometries by predicting suitable fiber draw conditions.
