A novel bifunctional platform has been developed by integrating nonpharmacological and pharmacological cues into one system for AD treatment. This electrically responsive platform can realize on-demand controlled drug delivery. Electrochemical stimulation can be used to treat peripheral nerve injury (PNI) for stimulating neurite outgrowth. This novel system can also effectively inhibit Aβ aggregate formation, decrease cellular ROS, and protect cells from Aβ-related toxicity.

In the presence of an external electric field, the Schottky barrier height (SBH) is lowered by the image force, allowing more free carriers to pass through the metal-semiconductor junction and enhancing the screening effect on positive piezoelectric polarization charges. As the strength of the external electric field increases,
the piezotronic effect is significantly suppressed and the metal- semiconductor contact finally exhibits Ohmic behavior.

Upon X-ray irradiation, lanthanide transfers visible energy to a photosensitizer, leading to local reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and triggering photodynamic therapy (PDT), even in deep tumors. The proposed nanolipoparticles, which contain both lanthanides and photosensitizer molecules, offer new opportunities in therapy and diagnosis.

Hybridization of single-stranded target DNA with single-stranded probe DNA molecules physically adsorbed on the MoS2-channel field-effect transistor results in the modulation of the drain current and threshold voltage (Vth). The negative shift in Vth is attributed to electrostatic gating effects induced by the detachment of negatively charged probe DNA after hybridization from the MoS2-channel surface.

The efficiency of the preparation of ternary CdSe@ZnS/Au heterostructures by adding gold salts to CdSe@ZnS nanoparticles depends on the thickness of their ZnS shell. These heterostructures evolve thermally to give rise to novel quaternary CdSe@ZnS/ Au2S/Au structures. Surprisingly, prolonged irradiation of these heterostructures with visible light greatly enhanced their emission efficiency.

Axial strains in excess of 1.5% can be sustained over large (few 100 nm) thickness in epitaxial wires having ultra-small diameters (~3C6 nm). This epitaxial strain can be modeled in the framework of the Frenkel-Kontorova model and it is diameter-dependent, opening perspectives for strain-engineering.

Co3O4@CeO2 core@shell nanowires have been successfully prepared in mass production by thermal decomposition of Co(CO3)0.5(OH)?0.11H2O@CeO2 precursors. The successful fabrication of the core@shell structures leads to remarkably improved catalytic activity and stability of Co3O4. The best sample can catalyze 100% CO conversion at a temperature as low as 160 °C. Detailed study reveals that CO oxidation possibly takes place at the interface of Co3O4 and CeO2, demonstrating obvious synergistic effects between the two components.

We tracked the concentration-dependent morphologies of an amphiphilic designer peptide by combining small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) with Cryo-TEM and provide a detailed global characterization of the supramolecular assemblies, as well as insights into the internal organization at the low-nanometer range. For the first time, a stable double helical architecture within the class of amphipathic designer peptides is presented, which holds promise as template for innovative bioinspired nanomaterials.
