Oral protein/peptide delivery systems have garnered global interest due to their potential to provide substantial benefits to patients. However, their clinical translation has been impeded by challenges pertinent to poor intestinal permeability, acid instability, and the short half-life of proteins/peptides. Here, we report a simple, efficient, and sustained-release oral insulin delivery system based on folic acid (FA)-conjugated acid-resistant metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles with high drug-loading capacity. The FA conjugation on MOF (PCN-777) nanoparticles not only selectively augmented intestinal transportation efficiency in diabetic animals via upregulated intestinal FA transporter-mediated endocytosis but they also tuned PCN-777 disintegration in the phosphate-rich bloodstream environment to sustain long-acting basal insulin release kinetics within a narrow therapeutic range. In diabetic animal models, the FA-PCN-777 oral insulin delivery nanosystem exhibited a smooth hypoglycemic effect for up to 48 h and a markedly high bioavailability of 35.5%, representing a potential long-acting oral formulation with reduced hypoglycemia risk.

Innovative “parallel+uniaxial” conjugated electrospinning is advanced and utilized to synthesize a unique {[CsPbBr3/polystyrene (PS)]//[CoFe2O4/PS]}||[CsPb(Br0.06/I0.94)3/PS] analogous-tricolor microfiber film (ATMF) with multicolor emission and tunable magnetism. This analogous-tricolor microfiber as a structural element accomplishes three independent microcosmic partitions to assemble CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots (QDs) with green fluorescence, CsPb(Br0.06/I0.94)3 QDs with red fluorescence, and magnetic CoFe2O4 into their respective partitions. As a result, the adverse impacts of dark-colored CoFe2O4 on the fluorescence of the two perovskite QDs are shunned, and the microcosmic spatial separation of the two kinds of perovskite QDs fully addresses infaust halogen anion exchange between them to receive super fluorescence-magnetic bifuction. The light-emitting diodes (LEDs) packaged using blue chips and ATMF as phosphor exhibit white-light fluorescence. The formation mechanisms of the analogous-tricolor microfiber and ATMF are advanced, and corresponding facile construction techniques are established to shun complex processes. This work provides support for the design and preparation of other multifunctional materials.

Lumbar puncture is a minimally invasive technique for delivering drugs into cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). However, its effectiveness is limited by the spine’s extensive length and the narrow, complex CSF spaces, which hinder efficient passive diffusion of therapeutic agents. Here, we have engineered a differentiable stem cell-assembled soft robot (SCASR) by using a three-dimensional self-assembly process in liquid marbles. These biologically viable robots can interface with the tissues inside the CSF, adapting to the complex surroundings while navigating. With X-ray imaging and magnetic actuation, the SCASRs can be guided toward targeted regions. The SCASRs autonomously disassemble into individual cells, which then differentiate into neural cells to facilitate the restoration of neural connections, thereby aiding the recovery of paralyzed lower limbs. The proposed strategy provides an imaging-based therapeutic system for nerve injury, enabling accessibility of hard-to-reach spinal regions and facilitating efficient therapy in minimally invasive manner, by means of soft microrobots.

Advancing organic photoelectric synapses for circularly polarized light (CPL) detection poses challenges in balancing CPL discrimination and photoelectric conversion efficiency. In this study, we reveal an innovative heterojunction consisting of two-dimensional molecular crystal (2DMC) and cholesteric liquid crystal network (CLCN) film to achieve high-performance CPL-resolved synapses. The periodically ordered molecular packing and molecular-scale thickness of 2DMC amplify the efficient exciton dissociation, consequently endowing the synaptic phototransistor with exceptional responsivity of 3.45 × 104 A W−1. Harnessing the intrinsic chiroptical of the CLCN film on the 2DMC, the device manifests a distinguished synaptic response to CPL stimuli, as substantiated by a significant dissymmetry factor of 1.97. Furthermore, the binary output states corresponding to distinct excitatory postsynaptic current levels facilitate robust chiroptical data encoding and encryption. Our innovative integration within polarized neuromorphic vision bolsters the capabilities of photonic devices and ushers in new frontiers for secure visual data encoding and transmission.

Unaltered biological matter (biomatter) can be harnessed to fabricate cohesive, sustainable bioplastics. However, controlling the material properties of these bioplastics is challenging, as the contributions of different macromolecular building blocks to processability and performance are unknown. To deconvolute the roles of different classes of biomolecules, we developed experimental and computational methods to construct and analyze biomatter analogs composed of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids. These analogs are intended to improve fundamental understanding of biomatter plastics. Spectroscopic analyses of biomatter analogs suggest that cohesion depends on protein aggregation during thermomechanical processing. Molecular dynamics simulations confirm that alterations to protein conformation and hydrogen bonding are likely the primary mechanisms underlying the formation of a cohesive, proteinaceous matrix. Simulations also corroborate experimental measurements highlighting the importance of hydrogen bonding and self-assembly between specific, small-molecule constituents. These conclusions may enable the engineering of next-generation biomatter plastics with improved performance.

The growing demand for metallic materials resistant to both environmental corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement under municipal wastewater conditions presents a significant challenge. Achieving superior resistance to both simultaneously is difficult due to microbial and acid-induced corrosion in wastewater alongside hydrogen embrittlement caused by the generation of free hydrogen during corrosion. These complex loading scenarios require materials capable of withstanding both forms of degradation. Here, we present a FeCoMnNiCu alloy, designed using the multiprincipal element concept, which forms a protective passive film and exhibits high resistance to both microbial and oxidative acid-induced corrosion. Furthermore, it shows exceptional resistance to hydrogen embrittlement with a hydrogen embrittlement index of approximately 4.01%. This is achievable because the alloy has a very low hydrogen diffusion coefficient and promotes hydrogen-induced twinning through the reduction of stacking fault energy. These properties establish the new alloy as a promising solution for components exposed to corrosive, hydrogen-rich municipal wastewater environments.

Cordierite, Mg2Al4Si5O18, finds widespread use as a high-performance material because of its very low thermal expansion, but its thermal properties are not understood at a fundamental level. Here we examine the thermal expansion in cordierite using lattice dynamics and molecular dynamics simulations with transferable force fields. The model reproduces the low positive thermal expansion along the orthorhombic [1,0,0] and [0,1,0] directions and the negative thermal expansion (NTE) along the [0,0,1] direction. Calculations of the mode strain Grüneisen parameters show that many phonon branches up to 10 THz contribute to the NTE. The overall strain Grüneisen parameters give similar results for the three principal strains: all are negative at lower temperatures and positive at higher temperatures. While they show the presence of a significant tension effect, the overall behavior is controlled by the form of the elastic compliance tensor. The results will usefully inform future studies of anisotropic systems.

Passive daytime radiative cooling is regarded as a promising technology to achieve all-day subambient cooling without energy consumption and pollution. The installation of monotonous white radiative cooling coating on the facades of buildings poses challenges in terms of aesthetic integration. Fabricating radiative cooling coatings with different colors and high cooling efficiency at a low cost is an optimal solution for their broad adoption and commercialization. Here, inspired by the elytra of the scarab beetle, we design a hierarchically porous nested structured radiative cooling film with high subambient cooling efficiency and flexible color tunability. This film exhibits both high solar reflectance (93.4%) and superior thermal emissivity (92.3%), realizing subambient cooling of ∼10.2°C at night and ∼7.2°C at midday. Its color is brilliant, stable, and flexible. Additionally, this film is self-cleaning and can reduce noise, which suggests possibilities for the development of multifunctional radiative cooling surfaces in building envelopes, automobile coatings, and clothes.

Heat transformation and storage based on the solid sorption principle, as a prospective sustainable and carbon-neutral technology, possesses significant potential for renewable energy utilization and carbon footprint reduction. However, the water and alcohols cannot adapt to critical conditions of low evaporation and high condensation temperatures, thus limiting the efficient utilization of thermal energy. This critical issue could be mitigated by engineering a transformative sorption working pair, known as a metal-organic framework (MOF)-ammonia working pair, which can reversibly convert solar-thermal energy to chemical energy and thermodynamic potential energy, enabled by the sorption and desorption processes. This perspective examines the feasibility and challenges of MOFs in saturated ammonia sorption for thermal energy utilization, such as refrigeration, ice making, heat pumps, and thermal energy storage. We discuss the evaluation and selection criteria for high-stability MOFs, the design of thermodynamic cycles, and performance assessments. Finally, this article also provides an ingenious insight into the potential applications of MOF-ammonia working pairs and proposes future research directions and solutions to advance the carbon neutrality vision.
