Inspired by the lotus leaves, we present a bio-inspired radiative cooling coating (BRCC) with hierarchical porous structures, consisting of multiwalled carbon nanotubes, modified SiO2 and fluorosilicone resin. The BRCC displayed sustainably efficient heat dissipation by the combination of high emittance and robust self-cleaning property. It is expected to be a promising candidate for thermal management …

The self-supported bimetallic array superstructures were constructed for high-performance coupling electrosynthesis of formate and adipate at the anode and cathode, respectively. Thanks to the unique nanostructure features and the promotion effect of adaptive reactions, the resulting electrocatalysts delivered remarkable performance for both CO2-to-formate and cyclohexanone-to-adipate conversion with high Faradaic efficiencies and current densities. Abstract: The …

The catalysts for nuclear spin conversion of molecular hydrogen (ortho-para H2 conversion), are categorized into four groups in the ascending order of activity at 77 K; Group 1: metallic materials and most of the oxides containing low-valence metal cations; Groups 2 and 3: metal oxides comprising high-valence cations; Group 4: metal oxides and hydroxides that …

This research develops an “all-in-one” red blood cell-derived microrobot capable of stably circulating in blood vessels, targeting tumour regions under magnetic guidance, releasing therapeutic cargoes upon laser trigger, and facilitating drug penetration by damaging extracellular matrix in tumour tissues. This system addresses critical challenges during systemic drug delivery and represents a new class of intelligent …

Cold atmospheric plasma can produce peroxynitrite (ONOO−), ozone (O3), superoxide anion radicals (O2−), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as the major reactive species to inactivate coronaviruses by disrupting the viral Spike protein and genomic RNA, thus hindering viral entry and replication. This study highlights the potential of cold atmospheric plasma as a promising approach to combat …

A novel drainage pathway through which cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)/interstitial fluid (ISF) molecules enter the bloodstream directly via dynamically assembled trumpet-shaped pores on the walls of brain venules was discovered. An updated model for glymphatic clearance of brain metabolites and potential roles in the Alzheimer disease and some neurological disorders are discussed. Abstract: The glymphatic system …

A tailor-designed dissociable nanosystem can decompose into small nanostructures in brain microenvironment of Alzheimer’s disease, and then recognize and bind amyloid-β for the dissolution, reassembly and further clearance of amyloid-β fibrils. This nanosystem rescues cognitive and memory impairments in mice for Alzheimer’s disease therapy. Abstract: The fibrillation of amyloid-β (Aβ) is the critical causal factor …

The ion cocktail, consisting of silicate, strontium and copper could attenuate both electrical and structural remodeling after myocardial infarction in rat and Bama minipigs. The therapeutic effect of ion cocktail on myocardial infarction may account for that different ions in the cocktail have different functions to regulate cellular behaviors. Abstract: Myocardial infarction (MI) is a …

Traditional tumour-dynamic therapy still inevitably faces the critical challenge of limited reative oxygen species (ROS)-generating efficiency due to tumour hypoxia, strict Fenton reaction conditions, and un-sustainable mono-catalytic reaction. To fight against these issues, a tumour–microenvironment-responsive yolk–shell nanoreactor is developed to realize the high-efficiency, selective, and sustainable dynamic therapy via cascade-responsive dual cycling amplification of •SO4−/•OH …

In the present paper, a phenomenon of ionic migration of large organic cations in the lead- and iodide-deficient perovskite films is unveiled. This phenomenon is intrinsic to the structure and at the origin of a large hysteresis in the measured J–V curves. Contrary to iodide, it cannot be fully blocked through defect passivation by potassium …
