137Cs and 90Sr are hazardous to ecological environment and human health due to their strong radioactivity, long half‐life, and high mobility. However, effective adsorption and separation of Cs+ and Sr2+ from acidic radioactive wastewater is challenging due to stability issues of material and the strong competition of protons. Herein, a K+‐activated niobium germanate (K‐NGH‐1) presents efficient Cs...
Efficient cell internalization of framework nucleic acid nanostructures free of transfection agents provides new opportunities for developing biocompatible and intelligent nanoprobes and drug delivery carriers. Here, a proteomic identification method to screen target proteins that interact with tetrahedral DNA nanostructures (TDNs) during the process of endocytosis by combining drug affinity responsive...
The organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells present a rapid improvement on power conversion efficiency from 3.8% to 25.5% in the past decades. Owing to the tuneable bandgaps, low‐cost, and ease of fabrication, perovskites become ideal candidate materials for fabricating tandem solar cells, especially for efficient and high‐voltage monolithic two‐terminal devices. In this review, an overview...
Aerogels are ultralight solid materials formed by replacing the liquid phase found in hydrogels by air. In article number 2004932, Canhui Lu, Raffaele Mezzenga, and co‐workers show that using protein amyloid nanofibrils as templates, it is possible to design a new class of high‐performance conductive aerogels for smart devices, such as biosensors, wearable bioelectronics, pressure sensors and adaptable...
Amyloid fibrils have garnered increasing attention as viable building blocks for functional material design and synthesis, especially those derived from food and agricultural wastes. Here, amyloid fibrils generated from β‐lactoglobulin, a by‐product from cheese industries, have been successfully used as a template for the design of a new class of high‐performance conductive aerogels with sensing properties...
The commonly existing cellular heterogeneity plays a critical role in biological processes such as embryonic development, cell differentiation, and disease progress. Single‐cell omics‐based heterogeneous studies have great significance for identifying different cell populations, discovering new cell types, revealing informative cell features, and uncovering significant interrelationships between cells...
Enabling mechanical responsiveness in field‐effect transistors (FETs) offers new technological opportunity beyond the reach of existing platforms. Here a new force‐sensing concept is proposed by controlling the wettability of a semiconductor surface, referring to the interfacial field‐effect transistors (IFETs). An IFET made by superhydrophobic semiconductor nanowires (NWs) sandwiched between a layer...
In article number 1804006, Chih‐Jen Shih and co‐workers introduce a new transistor design concept for sensing ultrasmall surface forces by the deformation of a liquid metal droplet on the superhydrophobic semiconductor nanowires grown on graphene, referring to the interfacial field‐effect transistors.
Plasmonically coupled graphene structures have shown great promise for sensing applications. Their complex and cumbersome fabrication, however, has prohibited their widespread application and limited their use to rigid, planar surfaces. Here, a plasmonic sensor based on gold nanowire arrays on an elastomer with an added graphene monolayer is introduced. The stretchable plasmonic nanostructures not...
