Summary: Hybrid anisotropic hydrogel is created by dispersing carbon quantum dots and ultrahigh magnetic nanoparticle-coated alumina (Fe/Al2O3) platelets in acrylamide aqueous solution with the assistance of a magnetic field, and then fixing the oriented structure through gelation. The aligned Fe/Al2O3 platelets lead to the formation of anisotropic structure, providing mechanical and fluorescent anisotropy to the hydrogels. White-light emission is achieved by adjusting the weight ratio of yellow-emitting ZnO QDs and blue-emitting N,S-CDs. This approach not only enriches the field of mechanical/fluorescent dual anisotropic soft materials, but also holds significant potential in organic light-emitting diodes, nonlinear optics, and field effect transistors.

Summary: Current and future diagnostics require imaging agents that are non-toxic and superior to small molecule dyes. In this study, luminescent green light-emitting carbon dots (GCDs) were synthesized using a low-cost chemical precursor. The GCDs exhibited excitation-independent fluorescence emission and negligible cytotoxicity. Moreover, the fluorescence emission of the GCDs showed a concentration-dependent behavior in both cell and animal experiments. These findings highlight the potential of GCDs for diverse bioimaging applications.

Summary: Doping and blending strategies are crucial for controlling excited states and energy levels in conjugated molecular systems. However, effective models and platforms to explore the effects of trapped doped centers on heterogeneous structures and photophysical processes are rarely proposed. In this study, a supramolecular N-B coordination was designed to investigate the impact of molecular doping on film energy levels and photoexcitation dynamics. The results showed that the coordination bond increased N atoms' binding energy and tuned the band-gap, resulting in a new fluorescent emission center with longer excitation and emission wavelengths. The blending films exhibited inconsistent fluorescent behaviors compared to solution due to intermolecular Forster resonance energy transfer. Additionally, the charge transfer state and changed dielectric constant caused a red-shift in the photoluminescence spectra with increased dopant ratio, enabling wide-tunable fluorescent color. The excited state behaviors of the compounds in blending system were further studied using transient absorption spectroscopy. It was found that supramolecular coordination blending effectively improved the photoluminescence quantum yield and conductivity of the films. This exploration in coordination mechanisms provides insights into doped semiconductors and facilitates the development of high-efficient fluorescent systems.

The nanoparticles chemically degrade the biofilm matrix and kill bacteria, while also activating the immune response. This strategy efficiently treats chronic lung infections by combining physical/chemical/antibiotic biofilm elimination and immune activation.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.
