A new class of multifunctional PtCuTe nanosheets with strong ROS scavenging and ROS-independent antibacterial properties is reported. It promotes endothelial tip cell formation, enhances vascular tube formation, stimulates macrophage polarization toward M2 phenotype, and improves fibroblast mobility, remarkably superior to the traditional PtCu nanoenzyme....

Germanium-based heterostructures are frontrunner candidates for silicon-compatible quantum processors. At the core of these emerging technologies is the use of hole spin in germanium, where the quiet quantum environment combined with large spin-orbit coupling provides fast manipulation and long coherence. To eliminate the decoherence induced by the...

As natural intercellular transporters, extracellular vesicles (EVs) show great potential as diagnostic biomarkers, therapeutic agents, and drug delivery vehicles. DNA nanomaterials provide an easy-to-use, programmable approach to design and construct sophisticated molecular devices on the EV surface for EV isolation, analysis, and delivery. ...

The damage-free single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) dispersed using poly(p-phenylene-benzimidazole-terephthalamide) (PBIA) are selected as the orientation seed to improve the fiber microstructure and the mechanical properties. The p-SWNT/PBIA fibers exhibit an increase of 22% in tensile strength and 23% in elongation, with a maximum tensile strength...

Acoustic sensors are transitioning from rudimentary forms to wearable devices and smart everyday clothing that can conform to soft, curved, and deformable surfaces or surroundings. This review critically discusses and analyzes the latest scientific and technological breakthroughs and provides insights into the materials, physics, design principles,...

The simple tetrabutylammonium (TBA)-functionalization of MXene improves the in-plane actuation strain over three times and enhances the mechanical property and stability in air. In situ and ex situ characterizations reveal that the co-insertion/de-insertion of TBA ions with Li ions into/from MXene interlayer galleries and inter-edge gaps causes a...
