A combination of light-emitting semiconductors and photochromic molecules enables the fabrication of optically switchable organic light-emitting transistors with tunable current and luminance.
An electromechanical transducer that integrates a high-frequency phononic crystal with a superconducting microwave circuit enables transduction of hypersonic mechanical motion at the quantum level.
The momentum mismatch between far-field light and acoustic graphene plasmons can be largely overcome by a two-stage coupling scheme for sensitive protein detection in sub-10-nm films.
DNA nanodevice can quantitatively map disulfide reduction exclusively in endosomes in C. elegans, by which the location-specific action of proteins can be addressed.
Analytical challenges in detecting nanoplastics have hindered the understanding of their behaviour in environmental systems, but these difficulties can be circumvented by synthesizing metal-doped nanoplastics (where the metal can be measured as a proxy for the plastic) to undertake mechanistic investigations of particle fate, transport and biological interactions in lab and pilot-scale studies.
A nanoparticle self-assembled by a multi-modular peptide and an amphiphilic poloxamine serves as a non-viral gene delivery agent for the long-term expression of CFTR in cell cultures and in animal models of cystic fibrosis.
Nanoparticles used in nanomedicine can induce increased vascular leakiness and therefore accelerate intravasation and extravasation of cancer cells, exacerbating existing metastasis and promoting the appearance of new metastatic sites.
The temperature-dependent transverse elongation of ferrimagnetic bubbles provides experimental evidence for an evanescent skyrmion Hall effect at zero spin density.
A machine-learning approach based on digital information encoding using silicon nanostructures enables a quasi-error-free read-out of sequences of up to 9 bit.
Rationally designed polymer vesicles increase cytosolic delivery of cGAMP, activating the STING pathway and increasing the immunogenicity of the tumour microenvironment in in vivo murine models of melanoma and in human metastatic melanoma tissues.
The ordered display of antigen patterns on DNA origami platforms combined with surface plasmon resonance chips allows the investigation of the affinity and kinetics of the antigen–antibody bivalent binding in relation to the antigen distance and antibody flexibility.
Sheet alignment and orientation order of graphene structures induced by microfluidics design enable the optimization of electronic and mechanical properties of macroscopic graphene fibres.
