Summary: The evolution of smart life requires microscale energy storage devices with high power and energy density to integrate IoT devices with sustainable power generators. Pseudocapacitors are considered efficient energy storage devices due to their longer cyclability and high-power density compared to Li-ion batteries, but there are difficulties in patterning microscale electrodes using conventional methods. A one-step fabrication method of micro-supercapacitors was developed through the in situ formation of Co metals and reduced graphene oxides in a one-pot laser scribing process, resulting in a Co/rGO MSC with four times higher capacitance than rGO MSC.

Summary: A combination of hyperthermia and other therapies has great potential for improving cancer treatment. However, traditional methods of inducing hyperthermia cannot effectively control temperature increase in tumor while preserving healthy tissues. Carbon-based nanomaterials, particularly graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO), have emerged as promising candidates for photothermal therapy (PTT) due to their excellent photothermal conversion capabilities, large surface area for drug loading, and the ability to be functionalized with various molecules. This review discusses recent advances in combinational PTT for synergistic benefits in cancer treatment.

Summary: Photothermal therapy is a popular treatment for bone tumors, and magnesium and its alloys have the potential to be used as bone implants. However, there is limited research on fabricating a photothermal coating on magnesium alloys. In this study, a reduced graphene oxide coating with a strong photothermal effect was successfully prepared on the surface of AZ31. The coating showed tight adhesion to the substrate and demonstrated superior photothermal effect, providing a new strategy for the treatment of bone tumors with magnesium-based implants.

Summary: Nanomedicine using carbon-based nanomaterials, especially reduced graphene oxide (rGO), has shown promising potential in cancer therapy due to its ability to carry drugs and act as a photothermal agent. Functionalized rGO can be designed as multifunctional nanosystems with temperature/pH-dependent drug/gene delivery abilities for multimodal cancer therapy. Additional advantages like high biocompatibility, targeted delivery, and enhanced photothermal effects further enhance the potential of functionalized rGO in cancer treatment.

Summary: Graphene-based nanomaterials, specifically graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO), have shown great potential in cancer therapy. This review explores the structural features of GO and rGO, and discusses the applicability of GBNMs in photothermal therapy for different cancer types. It also examines the integration of photothermal therapy with other treatment strategies and the use of hybrid magnetic-GBNMs. The challenges and prospects of clinical translation are also addressed.

Summary: This study demonstrates a large enhancement in the thermal conductivity of a van der Waals heterostructure composed of few-layer hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO). By controlling the reduction temperature of RGO and changing the thickness of h-BN, the thermal conductivity of RGO is increased by nearly 18 times.

Summary: Nanomaterials that can absorb near infrared light and exhibit a photothermal-photodynamic response have shown promise in cancer therapy. In this study, a novel nanosystem was developed by functionalizing dopamine-reduced graphene oxide with sulfobetaine methacrylate-brushes and loading it with IR780. The resulting hybrid nanosystem demonstrated optimal size distribution, surface charge, and colloidal stability. When exposed to near infrared light, the nanosystem exhibited a photothermal effect and generated singlet oxygen, leading to a significant decrease in breast cancer cell viability.

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between buccal micronucleus cytome assay biomarkers and inorganic elements and genetic polymorphisms in welders. It was found that welders showed higher levels of DNA damage and cell death. The frequency of micronuclei was significantly correlated with the concentrations of Na, Si, Cl, Ti, Cr, Zn, and Mg. The presence of certain genetic polymorphisms was associated with cell death and a higher frequency of micronuclei in welders.

Summary: Antimicrobial resistance is a major global health threat. In this study, bio-based silver and copper oxide nanoparticles were combined with a microbial-produced polyester to create bioactive films for the prevention and treatment of MRSA infections. These films showed strong antibacterial activity against MRSA and did not induce significant cytotoxicity or DNA damage in human fibroblast cells. These films also promoted platelet aggregation, which is beneficial for wound healing.
