Exploring highly efficient, portable, and robust biocatalysts is a great challenge in colorimetric biosensors. To overcome the challenging states in creating single‐atom biocatalysts, such as insufficient activity and stability, here, this work has engineered a unique CeO2 support as nanoglue to tightly anchor the Ru single‐atom sites (CeO2‐Ru) with strong electronic coupling for achieving highly...
Framework nucleic acids (FNAs) of various morphologies, designed using the precise and programmable Watson‐Crick base pairing, serve as carriers for biomolecule delivery in biology and biomedicine. However, the impact of their shape, size, concentration, and the spatial presentation of cytosine‐phosphate‐guanine oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG ODNs) on immune activation remains incompletely understood...
Deterministic Magnetization Switching
A sunlight‐controlled, non‐volatile, near 180‐degree deterministic magnetization switching is illustrated in Pt/Co/Pt/PN Si heterostructures with a magnetic bias assistant. The perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) can be regulated via photoelectron‐induced Fermi level altering and corresponding Rashba field change at the Pt/Co interfaces. The sunlight tuning...
Finding an energy‐efficient way of switching magnetization is crucial in spintronic devices, such as memories. Usually, spins are manipulated by spin‐polarized currents or voltages in various ferromagnetic heterostructures; however, their energy consumption is relatively large. Here, a sunlight control of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) in Pt (0.8 nm)/Co (0.65 nm)/Pt (2.5 nm)/PN Si heterojunction...

The further applications of liquid metals (LMs) are limited by their common shortcoming of silver‐white physical appearance, which deviates from the impose stringent requirements for color and aesthetics. Herein, a concept is proposed for constructing fluorescent core–shell structures based on the components and properties of LMs, and metal halides. The metal halides endow LMs with polychromatic and...
The cell microenvironment plays a crucial role in regulating cell behavior and fate in physiological and pathological processes. As the fundamental component of the cell microenvironment, extracellular matrix (ECM) typically possesses complex ordered structures and provides essential physical and chemical cues to the cells. Hydrogels have attracted much attention in recapitulating the ECM. Compared...
T cell exhaustion caused by mitochondrial dysfunction is the major obstacle of T cells‐based cancer immunotherapy. Besides exhausted T cells, the insufficient major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC I) on tumor cells leads to inefficient T cell recognition of tumor cells, compromising therapeutic efficacy. Therapeutic platform to regulate T cell exhaustion and MHC I expression for boosting T...
Oral cancer has a high mortality rate, and its treatment often causes debilitating complications. More than 90% of oral cancers are oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) that may develop from clinically recognizable oral premalignant lesions (OPLs). To eradicate OPLs before they turn into cancers, a non‐invasive topical formulation is developed based on a novel combination of synergistically acting...
Constructing high‐order DNA nano‐architectures in large sizes is of critical significance for the application of DNA nanotechnology.
