Summary: Intracellular transport, regulated by complex cytoarchitectures and active driving forces, plays a crucial role in biomolecule translocations and cellular functions. This study utilized 3D single-particle tracking to investigate the dynamics of intracellular transport. The results showed that the transport changes from thermal-dominated 3D-constrained motion to active-dominated quasi-2D motion, with heterogeneous lateral motion and homogeneous axial motion. The anisotropy and heterogeneity of vesicle transport were found to be due to actively directed motion on microtubules. Moreover, it was observed that endocytic cargos make diffusive motions on the inner vesicle membranes, suggesting a physical connection to microtubules during transport.

Summary: We developed type-II core-shell nanocrystals with a chiral low-dimensional perovskite shell and an achiral 3D MAPbBr(3) core. The core-shell nanocrystals exhibit spin-polarized luminescence and circularly polarized luminescence, which is controlled by the chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect. The spin-polarized light-emitting diode (spin-LED) also achieved circularly polarized electroluminescence under ambient conditions.

Summary: This study presents a method of three-dimensional direct lithography of perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) in glass, allowing for the control of composition and bandgap through ultrafast laser-induced liquid nanophase separation. The fabricated PNCs exhibit remarkable stability against UV irradiation, organic solution, and high temperatures, making them suitable for optical storage, micro-light emitting diodes, and holographic displays.

Summary: The construction of a heterostructure crystal, integrating a chiral two-dimensional perovskite with its three-dimensional counterpart, significantly enhances circular polarization sensitivity for CPL detectors. This strategy allows for the creation of a CPL detector with a greatly amplified anisotropy factor, providing a novel approach to modulate circular polarization sensitivity in chiral hybrid perovskites for advanced chiroptical devices.

Summary: The study analyzes the stability and electronic properties of an InSe monolayer with point defects, showing the presence of deep defect states within the band gap. It predicts that Ge as a substitution impurity of Se could be a promising material for single-photon emitters due to its optical properties and strongly peaked spectrum in the near-infrared.

Summary: A new concept for anti-counterfeiting security films that utilize the humidity from human breath to reveal a QR code on color-tunable one-dimensional (1D) PC films is presented. These films exhibit remarkable color transitions in a high humidity environment and can be used for anti-counterfeiting purposes and information storage.

Summary: In this study, a three-dimensional honeycomb carbon foam with zero-dimensional magnetic Co quantum dots (Co-QDs/CF) was prepared using the metal-organic framework (MOF) ZIF-67 material and melamine foam. The unique honeycomb structure significantly improved impedance matching and carrier mobility while reducing the overall density. The uniformly embedded magnetic Co-QDs endowed the 3D carbon foam with excellent high-frequency magnetic response while ensuring light weight, opening up new prospects for the development of lightweight broadband MAMs.

Summary: In this work, chiral cations were introduced into an achiral layered perovskite system to form an alloyed system with a clear layered structure, while manganese ions were doped in to explore the potential photoelectric properties. The XRD pattern and photoluminescence studies revealed significant differences in the optical properties between the alloyed system and the manganese-doped system, suggesting the importance of energy transfer mechanisms for the development of new photoluminescent materials.

Summary: As an important tumor marker, the ultra-sensitive detection of low-abundance microRNAs provides important data support for early warning of tumors. In this study, a novel enzyme-free semi-homogeneous photoelectrochemical (SHO-PEC) biosensor was designed, which utilized a 3D DNA walker for signal amplification, magnetic enrichment, and separation of pseudo-targets. The biosensor also incorporated CdTe@ZnS quantum dots and silver nanoparticles to enhance photocathodic current and accelerate charge separation.

Summary: We present a single-step synthesis and integration strategy for nanoscale silicon quantum dot architectures using a femtosecond laser direct writing technique. This approach enables the rapid synthesis and integration of silicon architectures with a unique crystal structure, resulting in bright luminescence at 712 nm. Our strategy has great potential for fabricating active layers of integrated circuit components or other compact devices based on silicon quantum dots.
