The demand for advanced data storage is skyrocketing due to unprecedented growth of digital information, energy constraints, and cybersecurity concerns. We propose a scalable, robust, and cost-effective technology for the production of materials through the knowledge-based design of high-entropy MXenes, streamlined synthesis of MXenes functionalized Potassium Sodium Niobate(KNN) ceramics by controllable energy-efficient self-propagating high-temperature synthesis, and development of multilevel encoding technique leveraging different discretized signal intensity and temporal levels. For the first time, we propose a sustainable, clean and high-tech approach to production of HEMXenes added KNN for optical data storage, optical switchers and anticounterfeiting technologies. Integrating luminescence with photochromic properties presents an advanced approach for high-density, multi-level, and rewritable data storage. We provide a rational route from basic research to engineered applications.

Visible effects of society’s ageing is the reported increase in the necessity of orthopaedic implants boosting to a huge economical market. For a successful integration of any implant, bone regeneration, osseointegration at the interface bone and implant as well as mitigating inflammatory events are crucial aspects. The project aims at extending the biocompatibility and tribo-mechanical performance associated with a lifetime of surgical implants based on Titanium (Ti). The hypothesis states combining Ti alloy with hydroxyapatite (HAp), and medically active components (drug delivery function) in order to obtain excellent biomaterial supporting bone growth and eliminating the problem of loosening of the implant by its integration with bone. The project goes beyond the state-of-the-art by laser surface treatment, opening the underlying porosity improving the cell transport and cell growth. The result implant biomaterial, will reduce the number of removal surgeries in the future.
