A gel with therapeutic nanoformulation that can be sprayed at the tumour resection site after surgery activates immune response in the tissue microenviroment, inhibiting tumour recurrence and potential metastasis.
A nanotweezer system based on dielectrophoresis can trap, manipulate and extract biomolecules and organelles in living cells at physiological conditions with high spatiotemporal resolution and minimal invasiveness.
A DNA-based nanosensor that simultaneously measures pH and chloride concentrations can chemically resolve different subpopulations of lysosomes in live cells derived from healthy individuals and patients with Niemann–Pick disease.
Reactive polyiodide melt-assisted conversion of metallic lead nanolayers into hybrid lead halide films opens a new branch of scalable technologies for perovskite photovoltaics.
A set of in situ and operando techniques, as well as gravimetric and microscopic investigations are used to characterize the formation of the solid–electrolyte interphase in a Li-ion battery.
Spikes on the surface of TiO2 microparticles, mimicking the nanotopological structures found on pathogens, boost the immune response in animal models and can be used to enhance the immunogenic effect of vaccines and adjuvants.
Mixing antigens with liposomes containing cobalt porphyrin leads to the spontaneous formation of a malaria nanovaccine with increased uptake by phagocytic antigen-presenting cells, boosting the production of long-lasting functional antibodies in mice and rabbits.
Ferrimagnetic Gd44Co56 near the compensation temperature enables domain wall motion with a speed of 1.3 km s–1 and room temperature skyrmions with diameters close to 10 nm.
Neutrophil membrane-coated nanoparticles reduce neutrophil-mediated inflammation in animal models of rheumatoid arthritis by acting as decoy devices and interacting with immunoregulatory agents targeted towards these cells.
Experimental observation of intersubband transitions in van der Waals quantum wells is enabled by high spatial resolution imaging through near-field optical microscopy.
An ultrasensitive miRNA sensor based on gold-coated magnetic nanoparticles modified with redox-labelled probe DNA is capable of detecting miRNA at a concentration of 10 aM to 1 nM in unprocessed blood, and following tumour-induced variation in miRNA levels.
Self-reconstruction of conducting nanostructures assisted by a dynamically crosslinked polymer network enables the fabrication of autonomous self-healable and stretchable multi-component electronic skin.
Active dielectric nanoantenna arrays exhibit low-threshold and high-quality-factor directional lasing achieved via a leaky resonance excited in coupled gallium arsenide (GaAs) nanopillars.
Gold nanoparticles typically considered inert in oxic waters accumulate in freshwater wetland subaquatic plants and are completely biotransformed to oxidized Au species by the associated cyanogenic biofilm.
A combination of planar porous electrodes, optoacoustic poration and laser scanning allows large-scale recording of intracellular action potentials of cardiomyocyte cultures on CMOS-MEAs.
