Plasmonic gold nanoparticles self-assembled at the air–water interface to produce an evaporative surface with local control inspired by skins and plant leaves. Fast efficient evaporation is realized due instant localized plasmonic heating surface. The bio-inspired process provides alternative promising approach for evaporation, has potential applications in sterilization, distillation, heat transfer. As a service our authors readers, this journal supporting information supplied authors. Such...
Drug-loaded urease-powered Janus cell robots enhance binding efficiency with biological targets and improve therapeutic efficacy.
Abstract Fe–N–C single‐atom catalysts (SACs) exhibit excellent peroxidase (POD)‐like catalytic activity, owing to their well‐defined isolated iron active sites on the carbon substrate, which effectively mimic structure of natural peroxidase's center. To further meet requirements diverse biosensing applications, SAC POD‐like activity still needs be continuously enhanced. Herein, a phosphorus (P) heteroatom is introduced boost SACs. A 1D nanowire (FeNCP/NW) catalyst with enriched Fe–N 4...
The use of micromotors for active drug delivery via oral administration has recently gained considerable interest. However, efficient motor-assisted into the gastrointestinal (GI) tract remains challenging, owing to short propulsion lifetime currently used micromotor platforms. Here, we report on an algae-based motor platform, which takes advantage fast and long-lasting swimming behavior natural microalgae in intestinal fluid prolong local retention within GI tract. Fluorescent dye or cell...
Lung metastasis poses a formidable challenge in the realm of cancer treatment, with conventional chemotherapy often falling short due to limited targeting and low accumulation lungs.
