Acidic residues (Asp and Glu) have a high prevalence on protein surfaces, but cross‐linking reactions targeting these residues are limited. Existing methods either require high‐concentration coupling reagents or have low structural compatibility. Here a previously reported “plant‐and‐cast” strategy is extended to develop heterobifunctional cross‐linkers. These cross‐linkers first react rapidly with...
This study addresses the challenge of designing simple and environmentally friendly methods for the preparation of effective electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbing materials with tailored microstructures and multi‐component regulation. N, O doped walnut‐like porous carbon composite microspheres loaded with FeCo nanoparticles (WPCM/Fe–Co) are synthesized through high‐temperature carbonization combined...
The rapid, simultaneous, and accurate identification of multiple non‐nucleic acid targets in clinical or food samples at room temperature is essential for public health. Argonautes (Agos) are guided, programmable, target‐activated, next‐generation nucleic acid endonucleases that could realize one‐pot and multiplexed detection using a single enzyme, which cannot be achieved with CRISPR/Cas. However,...
The self‐healing ability of superhydrophobic surfaces in air has attracted tremendous additions in recent years. Once the superhydrophobic surface is damaged underwater, water seeps into gaps among micro/nano structures. The air film diffuses into water and eventually disappears during immersion without actively replenishing the gas, which results in the impossible of self‐healing. Here, an underwater...
Recently, nanozyme‐based photothermal‐catalytic therapy has emerged as a promising strategy for antitumor treatment. Extensive research has focused on optimizing the catalytic activity and photothermal conversion performance of nanozymes through size, morphology, and surface property regulations. However, the biological effects of nanozymes, such as cellular uptake and cytotoxicity, resulting from...
Ionic liquids (ILs) have emerged as versatile tools for interfacial engineering in perovskite photovoltaics. Their multifaceted application targets defect mitigation at SnO2‐perovskite interfaces, finely tuning energy level alignment, and enhancing charge transport, meanwhile suppressing non‐radiative recombination. However, the diverse chemical structures of ILs present challenges in selecting suitable...
The availability of durable, high‐performance electrocatalysts for the hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) is currently a constraint for anion‐exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs). Herein, a rapid microwave‐assisted synthesis method is used to develop a core–shell catalyst support based on a hydrogenated TiO2/carbon for PtRu nanoparticles (NPs). The hydrogenated TiO2 provides a strong metal‐support...
Wind energy is the most promising alternative to fossil fuels as a clean, nonpolluting, and renewable source of energy. However, how to achieve stable and efficient harvesting of wind energy has been a major challenge. Here, a triboelectric‐electromagnetic‐piezoelectric hybrid wind energy harvester (TEP‐WEH) based on the cantilever is proposed. The TEP‐WEH achieves a power density of 62.79 mW (m3...
Selective photocatalytic production of high‐value acetaldehyde concurrently with H2 from bioethanol is an appealing approach to meet the urgent environment and energy issues. However, the difficult ethanol dehydrogenation and insufficient active sites for proton reduction within the catalysts, and the long spatial distance between these two sites always restrict their catalytic activity. Here, guided...
The problem in d‐band center modulation of transition metal‐based catalysts for the rate‐determining steps of oxygen conversion is an obstacle to boost the electrocatalytic activity by accelerating proton coupling. Herein, the Co doping to FeP is adopted to modify the d‐band center of Fe. Optimized Fe sites accelerate the proton coupling of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on N‐doped wood‐derived carbon...
Metallic substrates, widely studied in the context of monolithic catalysts, offer inherent advantages in heterogeneous catalysis due to their exceptional thermal conductivity and mechanical properties. However, synthesizing stable monolithic catalysts with metallic substrates in a well‐controlled manner remains a significant challenge. Here, this work introduces a simple, cost‐efficient method to...
The rational design of hybrid nanocrystals structures facilitates electronic and energetic communication between different component, which can optimize their specific performance. In this study, an efficient approach for building intricate ZnO@h‐CoO nanocomposites and their derivatives is presented, based on a lattice‐match/mismatch mechanism. Due to the ultra‐low lattice mismatch between ZnO and...
Triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC) is highly malignant and prone to recurrence and metastasis. Patients with TNBC have limited therapeutic options, often resulting in poor prognosis. Some new treatments for TNBC have been considered in the past decade, such as immunotherapy, photothermal therapy (PTT), and ferroptosis therapy, that allow the rapid and minimally invasive ablation of cancer. However,...
Organic luminescent materials are indispensable in optoelectronic displays and solid‐state luminescence applications.

Ionogels are extremely soft ionic materials that can undergo large deformation while maintaining their structural and functional integrity. Ductile ionogels can absorb energy and resist fracture under external load, making them an ideal candidate for wearable electronics, soft robotics, and protective gear. However, developing high‐modulus ionogels with extreme toughness remains challenging. Here,...
