Abstract Drawing inspiration from cohesive integration of skeletal muscles and sensory skins in vertebrate animals, we present a design strategy soft robots, primarily consisting an electronic skin (e-skin) artificial muscle. These robots integrate multifunctional sensing on-demand actuation into biocompatible platform using in-situ solution-based method. They feature biomimetic designs that enable adaptive motions stress-free contact with tissues, supported by battery-free wireless module...
Transient receptor potential vanilloid family member 1 (TRPV1) has been revealed as a therapeutic target of osteoarthritis (OA), the most common deteriorating whole joint disease, by impeding macrophagic inflammation and chondrocytes ferroptosis. However, clinical application for capsaicin TRPV1 agonist is largely limited its chronic toxicity. To address this issue, we developed bifunctional controllable magnetothermal switch targeting alleviation OA progression coupling magnetic...
2D MXene, Ti3 C2 (TC), has displayed enormous potential in applications photothermal therapy (PTT), attributing to its biocompatibility and outstanding conversion capability. However, some tumor ablations are difficult be realized completely by monotherapy due the essential defects of intricate microenvironment (TME). In this work, appropriate doped Fe2+ ions anchored into layers ultrathin TC nanosheets (TC NSs) synthesize a novel multifunctional nanoshell Fe(II)-Ti3 (FTC) through interlayer...
Joint replacement surgery is one of the orthopedic surgeries with high successful rates; however, wear debris generated from prostheses can ultimately lead to periprosthetic osteolysis and failure implant. The implant-derived particulate such as ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) initiate local immune response recruit monocytic cells phagocytose particles for generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS induces osteoclastogenesis macrophages secrete cytokines which promote...
Atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) carbon nitride sheets (CNs) are attracting attention in the field of photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Because rapid recombination photogenerated electron–hole pairs and limited more active sites, efficiency CNs cannot meet actual requirements. Here, atomically 2D/2D van der Waals heterostructures metal-free graphdiyne (GDY)/CNs fabricated through a simple electrostatic self-assembly method. Experimental characterizations along with first-principles...
Monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2 ) nanoenzymes exhibit a piezoelectric polarization, which generates reactive oxygen species to inactivate tumors under ultrasonic strain. However, its therapeutic efficiency is far away from satisfactory, due stackable MoS2 , quenching of piezo-generated charges, and monotherapy. Herein, chitosan-exfoliated monolayer (Ch-MS) composited with atomic-thin MXene, Ti3 C2 (TC), self-assemble multimodal nanoplatform, -Chitosan-MoS2 (TC@Ch-MS), for tumor...

Topological magnons are bosonic analogues of topological fermions in electronic systems. They have been studied extensively by theory but rarely realized experiment. Here, performing inelastic neutron scattering measurements on single crystals a two-dimensional ferromagnet CrBr$_3$, which was classified as Dirac magnon semimetal featured the linear bands crossing at points, we fully map out magnetic excitation spectra, and reveal that there is an apparent gap $\sim$3.5~meV between acoustic...
In recent years, organic–inorganic hybrid ferroelectric materials with zero-dimensional (0D) structures have attracted widespread attention due to their fascinating characteristics arising from isolated metal halide structures.
Hybrid organic–inorganic halide perovskites (HOIPs) MAPbBr3 and their ramifications have emerged because of the photovoltaic, optical, other fascinating performances HOIPs in recent years.

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metals enable the elimination of metal-induced gap states and Fermi-level pinning in field-effect transistors (FETs), offering an advantage over conventional metal contacts. However, substrates typically exhibit nonoriented behaviors, leading to inability achieve monolingual responses with P- or N-type semiconductors. Here we devise symmetry engineering oxidized architectural MXene, termed OXene, which implements exploiting coupling additional out-of-plane...
