Quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) are promising for next-generation near-eye displays, yet achieving Rec. 2020-compliant green emission remains challenging due to insufficient electron confinement and field-induced spectral redshift in InP-based quantum dots (QDs). Here, we report a band-engineering strategy by introducing a compositionally graded ZnSeS interlayer betwe…

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are attractive candidates for large-scale energy storage because of their cost-effectiveness, environmental friendliness, and high safety. Nonetheless, the bottleneck of most cathode materials for AZIBs is the trade-off between structural stability and ion intercalation kinetics, hindering their cycling life and rate performance. Here, this tr…

Magnesiothermic reduction (MgTR) is a convenient route capable of reducing oxides such as SiO₂ to produce porous Si. The Mg/SiO₂ system is optimized, understood, and has enabled researchers to tailor synthesis conditions that afford materials suitable for targeted applications. The extension of MgTR to hierarchical, multi-component oxide precursors containing transition m…

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) remains one of the most aggressive central nervous system malignancies, with therapeutic efficacy severely constrained by the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which limits drug delivery to the tumor site, and by the lack of tumor-specific targeting, leading to off-target effects and inadequate intratumoral accumulation. To address these interconnected ch…

Imidazole propionate (ImP) is an atherogenic metabolite involved in vascular inflammation. Molecular dynamics simulations and DFT calculations show the spontaneous formation of a highly stable ImP@P[5]G host-guest complex driven predominantly by electrostatic interactions. This suggests a novel application of a sequestration strategy to modulate the biological availability of I…

This work reports a novel low-temperature approach for the direct heteroepitaxial integration of narrow-bandgap III-V materials on silicon. We demonstrate the self-catalyzed vapor-liquid-solid molecular beam epitaxy growth of InAs : Bi nanowires via Bi catalytic droplets directly on Si (111) substrates. Compared to Au-catalyzed growth, bismuth-induced vapor-liquid-solid synthes…

Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) is a degenerative joint disease involving cartilage degeneration, synovial inflammation, and subchondral bone remodeling. Current treatments are primarily palliative, lacking precise therapies. MicroRNA-based gene therapy is promising, but free miRNAs are limited by rapid degradation and poor cellular uptake. Given its marked downr…

Perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) show great potential for optoelectronic devices, but their application in electrochemical systems is hindered by the insulating nature of conventional long-chain ligands (e.g., oleic acid/oleylamine). We introduce a short-chain post-treatment strategy to efficiently reduce the capping density of these ligands in CsPbX₃ (X = Cl, Br, I) PQDs. Thr…

Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and the unfolded protein response (UPR) operate as central signaling hubs that integrate cellular homeostasis, adaptation, and fate determination. Dysregulation of this network constitutes a common pathogenic thread across cancer, metabolic syndromes, neurodegeneration, and inflammatory disorders. Although small molecule ERS modulators have va…

Triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC) offers a transformative approach for harvesting near-infrared (NIR) photons under non-coherent light excitation. However, achieving high efficiency beyond 900 nm is fundamentally challenged by the scarcity of sensitizers that combine strong NIR absorption with efficient triplet generation, as rapid non-radiative decay typically…
