In this study, an efficient and mild approach is reported for the facile synthesis of a carbon quantum dot (CQD)-based dual-modal fluorescence (FL)/magnetic resonance (MR) imaging probe by doping Gd(iii) into CQDs through one-pot pyrolysis process at low temperature. The as-prepared Gd-encapsulated (GCDs), which have average diameter ∼15 nm, are highly water-soluble. GCDs observed to high MR response with longitudinal relaxation 57.42 mM-1 s-1 strong brightness absolute yield 40% while...
This paper reports the findings of an investigation reactivity and assembly gold nanoparticles mediated by homocysteine (Hcys), a thiol-containing amino acid found in plasma. The aim is to gain insight into interparticle interaction reactivity, which has potential application for detection acids.

fCDs with tunable photoluminescence are synthesized by controlling surface passivation reactions, and demonstrated for Fe<sup>3+</sup> determination in a complicated biological environment.
In vascular networks, the transport across different vessel walls regulates chemical compositions in blood over space and time. Replicating such trans-wall with spatial heterogeneity can empower synthetic fluidic systems to program fluid spatiotemporally. However, it remains challenging as existing channel are typically impermeable or composed of homogeneous materials without functional heterogeneity. This work presents a network-inspired system (VasFluidics), which is functionalizable for...
The ability to regulate how molecular chirality of enantiomeric amino acids operates in biological systems constitutes the basis drug design for specific targeting. We report herein a nanoparticle-based strategy interparticle chiral recognition enantiomers using cysteines (l and d) gold nanoparticles as model system. A key element this is creation nanoscale environment either favoring or not preferential configuration pairwise zwitterionic dimerization adsorbed on footprint recognition. This...
Abstract As one of the most widely distributed water resources, rainwater contains tremendous energy that cannot be effectively utilized by conventional electromagnetic generators. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) represent a method to convert trivial mechanical into electricity based on contact electrification. Benefiting from large and replenishable interfaces in liquid–liquid systems, TENG further promises efficient charge transfer. However, limited understanding electrification has...
RNA encodes sequence- and structure-dependent interactions to modulate the assembly properties of biomolecular condensates. G-quadruplexes (rG4s) formed by guanine-rich sequences can trigger formation liquid- or solid-like condensates that are involved in many aberrant phase transitions. However, exactly how rG4 motifs different transitions impart distinct material is unclear. Here, using oligonucleotides cationic peptides as model systems, we show RNA-peptide exhibit tunability over a wide...
In this study, two new functionalized polyethylenimine (PEI), PEIR and PEIQ, have been synthesized by covalently conjugating rhodamine 6G (R6G) or 8-chloroacetyl-aminoquinoline (CAAQ) investigated for their sensing capabilities toward metal ions anions basing on fluorescence on-off off-on mechanisms. When triggered protons, ions, anions, PEIs can behave as a switch, leading to multiaddressable system. Inspired these results, PEI-based logic systems capable of performing elementary operations...
The healthy functioning of the plants' vasculature depends on their ability to respond environmental changes. In contrast, synthetic microfluidic systems have rarely demonstrated this responsiveness. Plants stimuli through nastic movement, which inspires us introduce transformable microfluidics: By embedding stimuli-responsive materials, device can temperature, humidity, and light irradiance. Furthermore, by designing a foldable geometry, these responsive movements follow preset origami...
Soft robots, made from elastomers, easily bend and flex, but deformability constraints severely limit navigation through within narrow, confined spaces. Using aqueous two-phase systems we print water-in-water constructs that, by phase-separation-induced self-assembly, produce ultrasoft liquid termed aquabots, comprised of hierarchical structures that span in length scale the nanoscopic to microsciopic, are beyond resolution limits printing overcome barrier. The exterior compartmentalized...
Stimuli-responsive structural coloration allows the color change of soft substrates in response to environmental stimuli such as heat, humidity, and solvents. Such color-changing systems enable smart devices, camouflageable skin robots or chromatic sensors wearable devices. However, individually independently programmable stimuli-responsive pixels remain significant challenges among existing materials which are crucial for dynamic display. Inspired by dual-color concavities on butterfly...
