The image depicts a membrane with 1 nm nanochannels made by crosslinking chitosan molecules with copper ions. The membrane exhibits promising performance for hydroxide exchange applications.
We will now explicitly ask reviewers to flag up to us and authors whether a simpler model or theory could explain the experimental data in a given manuscript.
Tilting the substrate after bar-coating of colloidal perovskite nanocrystals facilitates the nanocrystal self-assembly process and enables highly efficient large-area perovskite LEDs.
Anion-selective covalent organic framework (COF) membranes fabricated using laminar assembly and interfacial polymerization exhibit enhanced potential for osmotic power generation.
A frequency filtering method can efficiently remove the autofluorescence background and light scattering during in vivo visible and near-infrared experiments.
This Perspective suggests a characterization cascade for nanoparticle-based vaccines that takes into consideration the complexity of the materials and of their immunomodulatory responses, providing a roadmap for the preclinical validation of potential vaccine candidates.
The incorporation of electron transport layers based on single-crystalline TiO2 rhombohedral nanoparticles enables the realization of stable and efficient large-area perovskite solar cell modules.
The performance of nanostructured metal catalysts in acetylene hydrochlorination is governed by an interplay of nuclearity, coordination and host effects. The central activity descriptor is identified as the acetylene adsorption energy.
A robust all-organic interfacial protective layer towards ultrahigh-rate and large-capacity Li metal anodes is proposed by rational integration of porous polymer-based molecular brushes with single-ion-conductive lithiated Nafion.
The ultrathin thickness, high pore density and short interpore distance of a COF monolayer endow an extremely low membrane resistance and strong pore–pore coupling, which greatly improves the membrane-based osmotic power generation.
A Cu2+-crosslinked chitosan material with unique 1 nm hexagonal nanochannels is synthesized and applied as a high-performance and alkaline-stable hydroxide exchange membrane.
Motion is a key characteristic of every form of life. In this work, the authors use graphene drums to probe the nanomotion of a single bacterium and develop a new way for performing antibiotic susceptibility testing with single-cell resolution.
An optical technique is developed that extends the capabilities of fluorescent nanosensors into previously inaccessible ultradeep in vivo locations, including the brain, without the use of fibre optic or cranial window insertion.
Biocompatible core–shell quantum dots and superconducting nanowire single-photon detector enable non-invasive one-photon excitation fluorescence imaging at 1,880 nm for in vivo imaging at 1,100 μm depth.
This study provides insights into unifying mechanisms that explain the impact of engineered nanomaterials across species and identifies those that underlie differing sensitivities.
