Recent advances in flexible materials and wearable electronics offer a noninvasive, high-fidelity recording of biopotentials for portable healthcare, disease diagnosis, and machine interfaces. Current device-manufacturing methods, however, still heavily rely on the conventional cleanroom microfabrication that requires expensive, time-consuming, and...

Dendrimers are well-defined, highly branched macromolecules that have been widely applied in the fields of catalysis, sensing, and biomedicine. Here, we present a novel multifunctional photochromic dendrimer fabricated through grafting azobenzene units onto dendrimers, which not only enables controlled switching of adhesives and effective repair of...

The long-term shortage of freshwater resources has drawn increasing research attention for water purification and collection. This work reports a facile method to prepare Janus fabrics with asymmetric wettability for on-demand oil/water separation and hydrophobic/hydrophilic patterned fabrics for efficient fog harvesting. Here, the superhydrophobic...

Although a room-temperature multiphase coexistence (MPC) strategy improves the piezoelectric coefficient (d33) of potassium sodium niobate ((K,Na)NbO3, KNN) ceramics, it still suffers from the dependencies on composition and temperature, making it remain challenging to further improve d33 and temperature stability of strain for an already-built MPC...

Perfluorocarbon-loaded nanoparticles are powerful theranostic agents, which are used in the therapy of cancer and stroke and as imaging agents for ultrasound and 19F magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Scaling up the production of perfluorocarbon-loaded nanoparticles is essential for clinical translation. However, it represents a major challenge as p...

The high water content of hydrogels makes them important as synthetic biomaterials, and tuning the mechanical properties of hydrogels to match those of natural tissues without changing chemistry is usually difficult. In this study, we have developed a series of hydrogels with varied stiffness, strength, and toughness based on a combination of poly(...

Despite the many reports in the literature on the magnetic field-dependent energy storage properties of metal oxides, the origin of magnetic field-dependent supercapacitive properties is still not clear. This is because electrode's properties such as physical (electrical and magnetic properties), structural and microstructural (surface area, pore s...

Defect-controlled exfoliation of few-layer transition-metal carbide (f-Ti3C2Tx) MXene was demonstrated by optimizing chemical etching conditions, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding coatings were explored. The structural features such as layer morphology, lateral size, layer thickness, defect density, and mechanical stability of the ex...

Multimodal imaging-guided therapy holds great potential for precise theranostics of cancer metastasis. However, imaging agents enabling the convergence of complementary modalities with therapeutic functions to achieve perfect theranostics have been less exploited. This study reports the construction of a multifunctional nanoagent (FIP-99mTc) that c...

Metal-organic framework (MOF)-based drug delivery nanosystems with both precise drug release and multidrug codelivery capabilities have emerged as promising candidates for cancer treatment. However, challenges are posed by the limited number of suitable payload types, uncontrollable drug leakage, and lack of chemical groups for postmodification. To...
