Magnetic targeting of antimicrobial-loaded magnetic nanoparticles to micrometer-sized infectious biofilms is challenging. Bacterial biofilms possess water channels that facilitate transport of nutrient and metabolic waste products, but are insufficient to allow deep penetration of antimicrobials and bacterial killing. Artificial channel digging in ...

Thermal quenching that is characterized by loss of light emission with increasing temperature is widely observed in luminescent materials including upconversion nanoparticles, causing problems in technological applications such as lighting, displays, and imaging. Because upconversion processes involve extensive intra-particle energy transfer that i...

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a neurological disorder resulting from the nontraumatic rupture of blood vessels in the brain. Ferroptosis is a newly identified form of programmed cell death, which is an important pathological feature of ICH injury. At present, the therapeutic efficacy of ICH treatment is far from satisfactory, so it is urgent to...

To overcome the shuttle effect in lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries, an sp/sp2 hybridized all-carbon interlayer by coating graphene (Gra) and hydrogen-substituted graphdiyne (HsGDY) with a specific surface area as high as 2184 m2 g-1 on a cathode is designed and prepared. The two-dimensional network and rich pore structure of HsGDY can enable the fas...

As a newly emerging two-dimensional material, black phosphorus (BP) has received broad attention in the field of biomedical applications. Prior to its clinical application, its cytotoxicity to cells should be carefully evaluated; however, this field is still in its infancy. Motivated by this, we performed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to syst...

Thin-film transistors (TFTs) have been widely used in the increasingly advanced field of displays. However, it remains a challenge for TFTs to overcome the poor subthreshold swing in the fast switching and high-speed applications. Here, we provide a solution to the above-mentioned challenge via supercritical dehydroxylation, which combines a low te...

We study by scanning thermal microscopy the nanoscale thermal conductance of films (40-400 nm thick) of [1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1]benzothiophene (BTBT) and 2,7-dioctyl[1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1]benzothiophene (C8-BTBT-C8). We demonstrate that the out-of-plane thermal conductivity is significant along the interlayer direction, larger for BTBT (0.63 ± 0.1...

A mechanistic study on the two-phase synthesis of heteroleptic Au nanoclusters (NCs) is reported here. First, the effects of binary ligands on controlling the size of Au NCs were examined: (1) the binary ligands could exhibit an eclectic effect on the size control of Au NCs if the binding affinities of such hetero-ligands with Au are comparable and...

Modification using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is one of the most important strategies to boost the performance of materials in various applications, among which the CNT-modified silicon-based anodes have gained considerable attention in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their improved conductivity and cycle stability. However, the realization of a c...
