Summary: Bacterial infections can result from mishandled wounds or consumption of moldy food. Prompt diagnosis of bacterial infections is crucial to minimize anatomical damage, but current non-invasive early detection methods are challenging due to the lack of suitable tools. In this study, two hNQO1 fluorescent probes (RX2 and RX3) were developed through deep learning to visualize bacterial infections. RX2 and RX3 were found to enable early detection of bacterial infections using fluorescence imaging (FLI) and photoacoustic imaging (PAI) respectively, as demonstrated in a mouse model of myositis and inflammatory bowel disease caused by Escherichia coli infection. These probes show great potential for early diagnosis of bacterial infections, with RX2 suitable for FLI of E. coli-infected wounds and RX3 suitable for PAI of E. coli-infected inflammatory bowel disease.

Summary: This study presents an innovative approach to improve the photovoltaic conversion characteristics and stability of perovskite solar cells through carbon electrode interface modification. By in-situ polymerization and carbonization on the surface of nano-graphite, a dendritic structure carbon electrode is formed, reducing the work function and aligning the energy levels with perovskite. This leads to improved charge and hole collection efficiency, resulting in increased photovoltaic conversion efficiency. Furthermore, the modified carbon electrode-based perovskite solar cells exhibit exceptional stability, maintaining high efficiency even without encapsulation.

Summary: This study demonstrates the improvement of mechanical properties and reduction of coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) in graphene oxide (GO)/epoxy (EP) nanocomposites by enhancing the interface between GO and EP through functionalization and incorporating rigid-flexible interphases. The results reveal that the SiO2-PEA-GO hybrid exhibits better strengthening and toughening effects, as well as lower CTE, compared to the PEA-GO hybrid due to the presence of rigid-flexible interfaces with higher bonding strength and better energy dissipation mechanisms. Additionally, the nanocomposites with longer polyetheramine (PEA) molecules in the rigid-flexible interphases demonstrate higher strength and toughness, while maintaining a lower CTE. This work provides a promising strategy for constructing adjustable flexible-rigid interfacial structures and offers potential in developing GO/EP nanocomposites with high mechanical properties and low CTE.

Summary: A detailed understanding of the interaction between molecules and two-dimensional materials is crucial for incorporating functional molecular films into next-generation 2D material-organic hybrid devices. This study compares the energy level alignment of different-sized fullerenes on a Moire superstructure and finds that C-84 fullerenes can be either neutral or negatively charged depending on slight variations of the electrostatic potential. This discovery suggests a new path to achieve ambipolar charge transfer without overcoming the electronic gap of fullerenes.
