Traffic noise has been regarded as one of the most annoying pollutions that induce severe hazards to human health, both physiological and psychological. The commonly used fibrous absorption materials are limited by their large density, poor sound ability at low frequencies, unsatisfactory fire-resistant ability. Here, we develop hierarchically structured elastic ceramic electrospun nanofibrous aerogels, which possess lightweight properties (density 13.29 mg cm–3) superior low-frequency (NRC...

Great challenges in investigating the release of drug complex cellular microenvironments necessitate development stimuli-responsive delivery systems with real-time monitoring capability. In this work, a smart nanocarrier based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) is fabricated by capping graphene quantum dots (GQDs, acceptor) onto fluorescent mesoporous silica nanoparticles (FMSNs, donor) via ATP aptamer for ATP-triggered release. Under extracellular conditions, FMSNs remains...
