The fabrication of low‐cost, effective, and highly integrated nanostructured materials through simple and reproducible methods for high‐energy‐density supercapacitors is highly desirable. Herein, an activated carbon cloth (ACC) is designed as the functional scaffold for supercapacitors and treated hydrothermally to deposit NiCo nanoneedles working as internal core, followed by a dip‐dry coating of...
Nonplanar porphyrins with out‐of‐plane distortions play crucial roles in many biological functions and chemical applications. The artificial construction of nonplanar porphyrins usually involves organic synthesis and modification, which is a highly comprehensive approach. However, incorporating porphyrins into guest‐stimulated flexible systems allows to manipulate the porphyrin distortion through...
The compact sulfur cathodes with high sulfur content and high sulfur loading are crucial to promise high energy density of lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries. However, some daunting problems, such as low sulfur utilization efficiency, serious polysulfides shuttling, and poor rate performance, are usually accompanied during practical deployment. The sulfur hosts play key roles. Herein, the carbon‐free...
Assays utilizing fluorophores are common throughout life science research and diagnostics, although detection limits are generally limited by weak emission intensity, thus requiring many labeled target molecules to combine their output to achieve higher signal‐to‐noise. We describe how the synergistic coupling of plasmonic and photonic modes can significantly boost the emission from fluorophores....

A tri‐layered bicomponent microfilament composite fabric comprised of a hydrophobic layer of PET/PA@C6F13 bicomponent microfilament webs, an adhesive layer of LPET/PET fibrous web, and a fluffy‐soft layer of PET/Cellulous fibrous web have been designed and also successfully been fabricated, promoting multiple advantages of waterproof breathable properties and high...
Solid‐state lithium metal batteries with garnet‐type electrolyte provide several advantages over conventional lithium‐ion batteries, especially for safety and energy density. However, a few grand challenges such as the propagation of Li dendrites, poor interfacial contact between the solid electrolyte and the electrodes, and formation of lithium carbonate during ambient exposure over the solid‐state...
Breaking immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) has unique effects on inhibiting tumor growth and recurrence. Here, an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) targeted PdPtCu nanozyme (PNBCTER) is prepared to boost immunotherapy. First, PNBCTER has three kinds of enzyme activities, including catalase (CAT), glutathione oxidase (GSHOx), and peroxidase (POD)‐like activities, which can reshape the TME. Second,...
Cell mechanics is an emerging field of research for translational medicine. Here, the cell is modeled as poroelastic cytoplasm wrapped by tensile membrane (poroelastic@membrane model) and is characterized by the atomic force microscopy (AFM). The parameters of cytoskeleton network modulus EC, cytoplasmic apparent viscosity ηC, and cytoplasmic diffusion coefficient DC are used to describe the mechanical...
Conductive polymer hydrogels (CPHs) are widely employed in emerging flexible electronic devices because they possess both the electrical conductivity of conductors and the mechanical properties of hydrogels. However, the poor compatibility between conductive polymers and the hydrogel matrix, as well as the swelling behavior in humid environments, greatly compromises the mechanical and electrical properties...
Li‐CO2 battery with high energy density has aroused great interest recently, large‐scale applications are hindered by the limited cathode catalysis performance and execrably cycle performance.

Dysfunctional transcription factors that activate abnormal expressions of specific proteins are often associated with the progression of various diseases. Despite being attractive drug targets, the lack of druggable sites has dramatically hindered their drug development. The emergence of proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) has revitalized the drug development of many conventional hard‐to‐drug...
Effective electrolyte compositions are of primary importance in raising the performance of lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs). Recently, fluorinated cyclic phosphazenes in combination with fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) have been introduced as promising electrolyte additives, which can decompose to form an effective dense, uniform, and thin protective layer on the surface of electrodes. Although the basic...
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most frequent osseous neoplasm among young people aged 10–20. Currently, the leading treatment for osteosarcoma is a combination of surgery and chemotherapy. However, the mortality remains high due to chemoresistance, metastasis, and recurrence, attributing to the existence of cancer stem cells (CSCs) as reported. To target CSCs, differentiation therapy attracts increasing...
Synaptic devices that mimic biological synapses are considered as promising candidates for brain‐inspired devices, offering the functionalities in neuromorphic computing.

Hydrogel electrolytes provide a possible solution, especially cross‐linked zwitterionic...
Depletion‐induced self‐assembly is routinely used to separate plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) of different shapes, but less often for its ability to create supercrystals (SCs) in suspension. Therefore, these plasmonic assemblies have not yet reached a high level of maturity and their in‐depth characterization by a combination of in situ techniques is still very much needed. In this work, gold triangles...
