Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most prevalent inflammatory joint disease worldwide, leading to irreversible disability and even mortality. Unfortunately, current treatment regimens fail to cure RA due to low therapeutic responses and off‐target side effects. Herein, a neutrophil membrane‐cloaked, natural anti‐arthritic agent leonurine (Leo), and catalase (CAT) co‐loaded nanoliposomal system (Leo@CAT@NM‐Lipo)...
In this work, high‐performance, light‐stimulation healable, and closed‐loop recyclable covalent adaptable networks are successfully synthesized from natural lignin‐based polyurethane (LPU) Zn2+ coordination structures (LPUxZy). Using an optimized LPU (LPU‐20 with a tensile strength of 28.4 ± 3.5 MPa) as the matrix for Zn2+ coordination, LPUs with covalent adaptable coordination networks are obtained...
Blocking liquid penetration in porous materials is a key function for several applications including chemical protective clothing (CPC), wound healing, and hygiene products. Enormous efforts are made to prevent liquid penetration through porous media by the modification of materials. CPC is used as an example to demonstrate the effect of the synergistic effect on liquid penetration. A common strategy...
The catalytic properties of supported metal heterostructures critically depend on the design of metal sites. Although it is well‐known that the supports can influence the catalytic activities of metals, precisely regulating the metal–support interactions to achieve highly active and durable catalysts still remain challenging. Here, the authors develop a support effect in the oxide‐supported metal...
Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) has recently become interesting as a room‐temperature multiferroic material, and a variety of prototype devices have been designed based on its thin films. A low‐cost and simple processing technique for large‐area and high‐quality BiFeO3 thin films that is compatible with current semiconductor technologies is therefore urgently needed. Development of BiFeO3 thin films is summarized...
In recent years, atomically thin superconductors, including atomically thin elemental superconductors, single layer FeSe films, and few‐layer cuprate superconductors, have been studied extensively. This hot research field is mainly driven by the discovery of significant superconductivity enhancement and high‐temperature interface superconductivity in single‐layer FeSe films epitaxially grown on SrTiO...
Quantum anomalous Hall effect, with a trademark of dissipationless chiral edge states for electronics/spintronics transport applications, can be realized in materials with large spin–orbit coupling and strong intrinsic magnetization. After Haldane's seminal proposal, several models have been presented to control/enhance the spin–orbit coupling and intrinsic magnetic exchange interaction. After brief...
The spin‐gapless semiconductors (SGSs) are a new class of zero‐gap materials which have fully spin polarized electrons and holes. They bridge the zero‐gap materials and the half‐metals. The band structures of the SGSs can have two types of energy dispersion: Dirac linear dispersion and parabolic dispersion. The Dirac‐type SGSs exhibit fully spin polarized Dirac cones, and offer a platform for massless...
Conventional pressure sensing devices are well developed for either indirect evaluation or internal measuring of fluid pressure over millimeter scale. Whereas, specialized pressure sensors that can directly work in various liquid environments at micrometer scale remain challenging and rarely explored, but are of great importance in many biomedical applications. Here, pressure sensor technology that...
With the impacts of climate change and impending crisis of clean drinking water, designing functional materials for water harvesting from fog with large water capacity has received much attention in recent years. Nature has evolved different strategies for surviving dry, arid, and xeric conditions. Nature is a school for human beings. In this contribution, inspired by the Stenocara beetle, superhydrophilic/superhydrophobic...
