A combination of planar porous electrodes, optoacoustic poration and laser scanning allows large-scale recording of intracellular action potentials of cardiomyocyte cultures on CMOS-MEAs.
A highly conductive, biocompatible and stretchable nanocomposite based on ultralong gold-coated silver nanowires allows for the realization of wearable and implantable bioelectronics.
Using lifetime-resolved imaging techniques, engineered nanoparticles can be used to perform multiplexed imaging in the NIR-II region with limited interference from biological tissues, thus by-passing the challenges of conventional deep imaging.
An ensemble multicolour FRET model is introduced and used to extend multicolour barcoding to extreme FRET regimes, enabling in silico design of 580 barcode responses using common dyes and cytometer optics, and permitting fully automated decoding.
Lateral TMD–graphene–topological insulator hetero-devices enable room-temperature optoelectronic transport of the valley-locked spin polarization degree of freedom.
Self-assembled, ferroelectric BiFeO3 nanoislands confine centre-type quad-domains that can be switched reliably by means of an electric field, changing the domain-wall conductance by three orders of magnitude.
DNA origami-based integrated gene transcription modules enable the rational design of transcription activity. Architectural modalities between gene and RNA polymerase allow the autonomous response to various signals with reprogrammable logic gates.
Colloidal state machines, composed of 2D nanoelectronics grafted onto submillimetre-sized particles, act as autonomous electronic circuits capable of logical operation and information storage.
Direct thermal-to-electric energy conversion can be performed at electronic efficiencies comparable to efficiencies of traditional cyclical heat engines.
A fluorinated electrolyte forms a few-nanometre-thick interface both at the anode and the cathode that stabilizes lithium-metal battery operation with high-voltage cathodes.
An integrated theoretical and experimental approach characterizes buried interfaces in nanocrystal-in-glass systems at the atomistic level, revealing how matrix density and specific defects may be designed to attain desirable electronic and transport properties.
Exploiting both pulsed resonant excitation and a large Purcell enhancement, a single quantum dot coupled to a photonic crystal nanostructure can deterministically produce highly indistinguishable single photons for on-chip quantum optical applications.
Pd, Pt and Au nanoparticles are encapsulated in ZIF-8. The progressive atomic dispersion of these PGM atoms as single sites in the N-doped carbon derived from ZIF-8 pyrolysis is observed.
Graphene quantum dots inhibit the formation of alpha-synuclein fibrils and induce their dissociation in vitro, and display neuro-protective properties in in vivo models of Parkinson’s disease, with no appreciable long-term toxicity.
