In article number 1702137, by Tohru Takarada and co-workers, directed assembly of gold nanoroads, whose surface is densely modified with short DNA duplexes is achieved.Side-by-side and end-to-end assemblies are readily afforded due to the simultaneous stacking interaction between terminal base pairs of the DNA duplexes and repulsive steric forces induced by fraying motion of terminal-mismatched nucleobases. Wearable DevicesIn article number 1702645, by Yaogang Li, David L. Carroll, Hongzhi Wang, and coworkers, a scaled-up blade-coating method for preparing ultrathin, freestanding, and washable graphene papers with excellent electrical and thermal properties is reported.The graphene papers are integrated into textiles, and used as a bifuctional personal thermal management device for cooling or warming under various ambient conditions. Energy StorageIn article number 1702702, Do Van Lam, Seung-Mo Lee, and co-workers produce a mechanically/chemically-activated hybrid carbon textile fully decorated with pseudocapacitive VC/V x O y .Supercapacitors made of the hybrid textile exhibit greatly enhanced energy density (over 30 fold) and excellent cycle life compared to the pure carbonized textile.
