Platinum‐rare earth metal (Pt‐RE) nanoalloys are regarded as a potential high performance oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst. However, wet chemical synthesis of the nanoalloys is a crucial challenge because of the extremely high oxygen affinity of RE elements and the significantly different standard reduction potentials between Pt and RE. Here, this paper presents a molten‐salt electrochemical...
It remains a great challenge to design and manufacture battery‐type supercapacitors with satisfactory flexibility, appropriate mechanical property, and high energy density under high power density. Herein, a concept of porous engineering is proposed to simply prepare two‐layered bimetallic heterojunction with porous structures.

Active and durable bifunctional electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) on the cathode are required for high‐performance rechargeable metal‐air batteries. Herein, the synthesis of hierarchically porous nitrogen‐doped carbon (HPNC) with bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysis for Zn‐air batteries is reported. The HPNC catalyst possesses a large surface...
Solid tumors possess a unique internal environment with high‐level thiols (mainly glutathione), over‐expressed H2O2, and low oxygen partial pressure, which severely restrict the radiotherapy (RT) efficacy. To overcome the imperfections of RT alone, there is vital to design a multifunctional radiosensitizer that simultaneously achieves multimodal therapy and tumor microenvironment (TME) regulation...
Construction of 2D transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD)‐based epitaxial heterostructures with different compositions is important for various promising applications, including electronics, photonics, and catalysis. However, the rational design and controlled synthesis of such kind of heterostructures still remain challenge, especially for those consisting of layered TMDs and other non‐layered materials...
Despite the existence of numerous photocatalyst heterostructures, their separation efficiency and charge flow precision remain low due to the poor study on interfacial properties. The photocatalysts with confined defects can effectively control the photogenerated carrier migration, but the metastability of such defects considerably decreases the photocatalyst stability. Meanwhile, the introduction...
RNA has important and diverse biological roles, but the molecular methods to manipulate it spatiotemporally are limited. Here, an engineered photoactivatable RNA N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) editing system with CRISPR‐Cas13 is designed to direct specific m6A editing. Light‐inducible heterodimerizing proteins CIBN and CRY2PHR are fused to catalytically inactive PguCas13 (dCas13) and m6A effectors, respectively...
Potassium‐ion batteries have attracted increasing attention for next‐generation energy storage systems due to their high energy density and abundance of potassium.

Hierarchical metal nanostructures containing 1D nanobuilding blocks have stimulated great interest due to their abundant active sites for catalysis. Herein, hierarchical 4H/face‐centered cubic (fcc) Ru nanotubes (NTs) are synthesized by a hard template‐mediated method, in which 4H/fcc Au nanowires (NWs) serve as sacrificial templates which are then etched by copper ions (Cu2+) in dimethylformamide...
