A novel aluminum-carbon nanotubes nanocomposite with doubled strength and preserved electrical conductivity
Enhancing the mechanical strength of highly conductive pure metals usually causes significant reduction in their electrical conductivity. For example, introducing phase/matrix interfaces or more grain boundari...

Long-term exposure to titanium dioxide nanoparticles promotes diet-induced obesity through exacerbating intestinal mucus layer damage and microbiota dysbiosis
Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2-NPs) are commonly used as food additives, including some high-fat foods that are risk factors for obesity. However, little is known about the effects of chronic TiO2-NPs diges...

Construction of self-sensitized LiErF4: 0.5% Tm3+@LiYF4 upconversion nanoprobe for trace water sensing
LiErF4 was commonly used as a dipolar-coupled antiferromagnet, and was rarely considered as a luminescent material. Herein, we achieved the strong red upconversion emission of LiErF4 simply by an inert shell coat...

Stress-induced CsPbBr3 nanocrystallization on glass surface: Unexpected mechanoluminescence and applications
In this work, we discovered an unexpected mechanoluminescence (ML) phenomena occurring when transforming amorphous into crystalline, due to the stress-induced precipitation of CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals on g...

Low-temperature processed solar cells with formamidinium tin halide perovskite/fullerene heterojunctions
A new type of lead-free, formamidinium (FA)-based halide perovskites, FASnI2Br, are investigated as light-harvesting materials for low-temperature processed p–i–n heterojunction solar cells with different configu...

In situ generated thrombin in the protein corona of zeolites: Relevance of the functional proteins to its biological impact
Adsorption of plasma proteins to nanomaterial surfaces has a great influence on their bio-functionality. However, there is limited understanding of the relationship between the functional proteins in the prote...
