Supramolecular hydrogels involved macrocycles have been explored widely in recent years, but it remains challenging to develop hydrogel based on solitary macrocycle with super gelation capability. Here, the construction of lantern[33]arene‐based hydrogel with low critical gelation concentration (0.05 wt%), which can be used for efficient oil–water separation, is reported. The lantern[33]arenes self‐assemble...
Chiral inorganic quasi‐2D perovskites are prepared by self‐assembling 3D perovskites in solution for the first time. The quasi‐2D perovskite synthesized is a pure‐phase perovskite with <n> = 3 and is periodically arranged, which is a big breakthrough in quasi‐2D inorganic perovskites. With the individual chiral CsPbBr3 nanocrystals (NCs) assemble into quasi‐2D perovskite, the g‐factor significantly...
Flexible piezoresistive sensors with biological structures are widely exploited for high sensitivity and detection. However, the conventional bionic structure pressure sensors usually suffer from irreconcilable conflicts between high sensitivity and wide detection response range. Herein, a triple periodic minimum surface (TPMS) structure sensor is proposed based on parametric structural design and...
Spinal Cord Injuries
In article number 2207888, Xianjin Du, Jian Zhang, Hongsheng Lin, Yuhui Liao, and co‐workers design an emergency treatment and photoacoustic severity assessment (ETPSA) strategy for spinal cord injury (SCI) based on the selenium (Se) matrix antioxidant system Se@BDP‐DOH nanoparticles, which can real‐time evaluate the severity of SCI using photoacoustic signals and simultaneously...
Spinal cord injury (SCI), following explosive oxidative stress, causes an abrupt and irreversible pathological deterioration of the central nervous system. Thus, preventing secondary injuries caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS), as well as monitoring and assessing the recovery from SCI are critical for the emergency treatment of SCI. Herein, an emergency treatment strategy is developed for SCI...
Natural polymer‐based sutures have attractive cytocompatibility and degradability in surgical operations. Herein, anionic cellulose nanofibrils (ACNF) and cationic guar gum (CGG) are employed to produce nontoxic CGG/ACNF composite filament with a unique core–shell structure via interfacial polyelectrolyte complexation (IPC) spinning. The comprehensive characterization and application performance of...
Diabetic infectious micromilieu (DIM) leads to a critical failure rate of osseointegration by virtue of two main peculiarities: high levels of topical glucose and inevitable infection. To tackle the daunting issue, a bioheterojunction‐engineered orthopedic polyetheretherketone (PEEK) implant consisting of copper sulfide/graphene oxide (CuS/GO) bioheterojunctions (bioHJs) and glucose oxidase (GOx)...
2D heterostructures provide a competitive platform to tailor electrical property through control of layer structure and constituents. However, despite the diverse integration of 2D materials and their application flexibility, tailoring synergistic interlayer interactions between 2D materials that form electronically coupled heterostructures remains a grand challenge. Here, the rational design and...
The development of efficient and stable Pt‐based catalysts is significant but challenging for fuel cells. Herein, Sn and Co elements are introduced into Pt to form PtCo‐PtSn/C heterostructure for enhancing the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Electrochemical results indicate that it has remarkable ORR intrinsic activity with a high mass activity (1,158 mA mg–1 Pt) at 0.9 V in HClO4 solution, which...
Combination therapy based on molecular drugs and therapeutic genes provides an effective strategy for malignant tumor treatment. However, effective gene and drug combinations for cancer treatment are limited by the widespread antagonism between therapeutic genes and molecular drugs. Herein, a calixarene‐embedded nanoparticle (CENP) is developed to co‐deliver molecular drugs and therapeutic genes without...
Lead halide perovskite quantum dots (QDs) are promising materials for next‐generation photoelectric devices because of their low preparation costs and excellent optoelectronic properties. In this study, the blinking mechanisms and the intrinsic quantum‐confined Stark effect (IQCSE) in single organic–inorganic hybrid CH3NH3PbBr3 perovskite QDs using single‐dot photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy is...
Much attention is paid to metal lithium as a hopeful negative material for reversible batteries with a high specific capacity. Although applying 3D hosts can relieve the dendrite growth to some extent, gradient‐distributed lithium ion in 3D uniform hosts still induces uncontrolled lithium dendrites growth, especially at high lithium capacity and high current density. Herein, a 3D conductive carbon...
The atomic structure of free‐standing graphene comprises flat hexagonal rings with a 2.5 Å period, which is conventionally considered the only atomic period and determines the unique properties of graphene. Here, an unexpected highly ordered orthorhombic structure of graphene is directly observed with a lattice constant of ≈5 Å, spontaneously formed on various substrates. First‐principles computations...

First‐principle computations show that this atomic structure can be attributed to dipoles between the graphene surface and substrates.
A substrate mimicking the surface topography and temperature sensitivity of skin goosebumps is fabricated. Close‐packed arrays of thermoresponsive microgel particles undergo topographical changes in response to temperature changes between 25 and 37 °C, resembling the goosebump structure that human skin develops in response to temperature changes or other circumstances. Specifically, positively charged...

Although 2D nanocrystals with exposed high‐energy facets are highly desired in the field of catalysts due to their anticipant high catalytic activities, they are difficult to be gained. Here, atomic layers of metallic molybdenum dioxide (MoO2) with primarily exposed high‐energy (010) facet are achieved via a facile carbothermic reduction approach. The resultant MoO2 exhibits single‐crystalline, monoclinic,...
