The glomerulus can use its glycocalyx layer to precisely control renal clearance and tumour targeting of sub-nm gold nanoclusters with size differences of just a few atoms.
Fast four-colour sequence readout from 20,000-bp-long DNA has been realized at sub-nanogram DNA input based on length-independent, voltage-induced DNA loading into waveguides equipped with nanopores in their floors.
An icosahedral DNA nanocapsule with photoresponsive polymers that can deliver small molecules into model organisms with high spatial and temporal resolution.
Time-resolved X-ray microscopy reveals the mechanism and speed of current-induced magnetization switching of Co/Pt dots under the combined effect of spin-orbit torques and Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction.
Localized surface plasmon resonance can be used to control the energy flow in plasmonic core-shell Ag–Pt nanocubes and excite energetic charge carriers in the thin Pt shell, which can then drive CO oxidation.
A proof-of-principle study shows that electromagnetic field-based in vivo lineage conversion can be used as a therapeutic strategy for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.
Lithium alloy nanoparticles are encased inside few-layer graphene to yield a chemically stable, high-capacity anode with promising performance in a full-cell configuration.
Arrays of nanoparticles grouped into microscale arrays support multiple nanolasing modes that can be tailored by changing the geometry of the superlattice.
A self-assembled monolayer with terminal ferrocene groups involves a different number of molecules in the transport of charges depending on the polarity of the voltage bias.
Polarized photoluminescence spectra of europium-doped nanorods can be used to measure the local shear rate profile of a liquid in microfluidic channels.
Highly bioactive supramolecular nanostructures displaying sulfated glycopeptides on their surfaces were designed in order to mimic the polysaccharides that bind and activate a plethora of proteins in mammalian biology during development and tissue regeneration.
Soft phononic clamping dilutes the intrinsic dissipation of a mechanical resonator's material by five orders of magnitude, enabling a record value of the product between frequency and quality factor at room temperature, and mechanical coherence times otherwise only available in optical or Paul traps.
