Summary: The conformation of poly(2,6-diphenyl-p-phenylene oxide) (PPPO) in good and mixed solvents was investigated using small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). The polymer conformation below the overlap concentration is well described by the polymer-excluded volume model, while above it is described by the Ornstein-Zernike expression with a correlation length xi dependent on the concentration and solvent/nonsolvent ratio. Additionally, the characteristic particle radius of polymer nanoparticles scales with polymer concentration and nonsolvent content, while the solution volume per precipitated particle remains nearly constant.

Summary: The current key challenge in 2D materials is to achieve emergent quantum phenomena in hetero structures by controlling the moire potential created by the periodicity mismatch between adjacent layers. This study demonstrates that the unstable octahedral MoTe2 can be stabilized in a commensurate MoTe2/graphene hetero-bilayer due to the moire potential between the two layers, providing a fresh approach to realize novel 2D quantum phases.

Summary: The self-assembly of ionic surfactants in deep eutectic solvents has been demonstrated recently, with the potential for developing new formulated products and templating nanostructured materials. The presence of hydrotropic salts can greatly affect the micellar structure in these solvents, leading to the formation of worm-like aggregates. This study provides insights into salt-induced micellar growth in deep eutectic solvents, showing an increase in micelle elongation and the formation of worm-like micelles with tunable morphology and flexibility through surfactant-salt interactions.

Summary: The study investigates the thermoreversible gelation of associating polymers in hydrogen-bonding mixed solvents through theoretical modeling, highlighting the optimal gel point where stable, strong gels can be formed. Results show that the preferential adsorption coefficient changes sign and the average molecular weight of the complexes reaches a maximum at this point. Experimental data on poly(vinyl alcohol) in various mixed solvents are compared to the theoretical findings.

Summary: This study demonstrates a practical approach to producing highly crystalline monolayer MoSe2 using high-temperature-annealed Au foil as a weakly interacting substrate for atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition. The low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy measurements reveal a honeycomb structure of MoSe2 with a quasi-particle bandgap of 1.96 eV. The weak coupling between the Au(100) surface and MoSe2 is critical for easy transfer of monolayers to another host substrate.

Summary: The successful fabrication of a 2D monolayer Cu-dicyanoanthracene MOF on an epitaxial graphene surface with long-range order and the study of its structural and electronic properties using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, along with density-functional theory calculations, show promise for future applications in electronic devices. The ability to access multiple molecular charge states in the 2D MOF using tip-induced local electric fields suggests potential for fabricating and characterizing 2D MOFs with engineered electronic states.

Summary: Unconventional superconductors, particularly nodal superconductors, have been a focus in modern quantum materials research. This study demonstrates the existence of nodal superconductivity in pristine monolayer 1H-TaS2 using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) experiments. It is also found that non-magnetic disorder can drive the nodal state to a conventional gapped s-wave state, and many-body excitations emerge near the gap edge, indicating a potential unconventional pairing mechanism.

Summary: This study demonstrates the local and electrical control of photoluminescence in monolayer WS2 using a nonplasmonic tip and tunneling current of a scanning tunneling microscope. The results show that short-range photoluminescence quenching is present due to near-field electromagnetic effects, independent of the bias voltage. Additionally, a bias-voltage-dependent long-range photoluminescence quenching is observed when the sample is positively biased.

Summary: This research presents a low-cost, lightweight, and automatic readout system for accurately quantifying the level of cisplatin in a colorimetric POC device. The system uses an RGB camera to capture color changes in a test tube, and a machine learning-based inference function to estimate the concentration of cisplatin. The training strategy incorporates ensemble learning to handle small training sets and supports a gray-box model for interpretability. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed readout system outperforms the state-of-the-art system for quantifying cisplatin levels in a colorimetric POC device.

Summary: The growth of pyramidal platinum nanocrystals is caused by the adsorption of hydrogen on {100} facets, which results in a peculiar type of symmetry breaking. The size-dependent adsorption energies of hydrogen atoms on {100} facets hinder the growth of pyramidal shapes only when they are sufficiently large. The absence of pyramidal nanocrystals in experiments without hydrogen confirms the crucial role of hydrogen adsorption.

Summary: This research aims to characterize the adsorption morphology of block copolymer dispersants of the styrene-block-4-vinylpyridine family (S4VP) on the surface of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) in a polar organic solvent, N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF). The results show that the block copolymers adsorb onto the MWCNT surface as a continuous coverage of low polymer concentration. Increasing the PS molecular weight increases the thickness of the adsorbed layer but decreases the overall polymer concentration within it. These results are relevant for the ability of dispersed CNTs to form a strong interface with matrix polymers in composites, due to the extension of the 4VP chains allowing for entanglement with matrix chains.

Summary: Most studied parameters of nanoparticles' interactions with cells are currently static, while proteins have dynamic structures. This study focuses on single-chain polymeric nanoparticles (SCPNs) that undergo dynamic changes. By creating multiple sets of particles with identical polymer chains, it was found that cell uptake discriminates between dynamic and static SCPN isomers. Dynamic isomers are uptaken more through different endocytic pathways, while static isomers access the cytosol more efficiently.

Combining different types of structural information obtained by other methods can increase the reliability of SANS profile analysis for complex multi-component systems. To overcome the issue of samples suitable for SANS being too thick for typical transmission FTIR method, a new simultaneous measurement system that uses attenuated total reflectance (ART) sampling method for FTIR spectroscopy has been developed.

Summary: Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a common cause of acute liver failure in the USA and Europe, but most cases can be recovered or prevented by discontinuing the offending drug. Recent research has found that peroxynitrite (ONOO-) can be used as a potential indicator for early diagnosis of DILI, and there is an urgent need to establish a method to detect and track peroxynitrite in DILI cases. In this study, a FRET-based nano fluorescent probe CD-N-I was developed, which showed high selectivity and sensitivity in detecting peroxynitrite. The probe successfully detected exogenous peroxynitrite in live cells and endogenous peroxynitrite in APAP-induced liver injury of HepG2 cells.
