Dynamic Assembly of Microgels and Polymers at Non‐Aqueous Liquid/Liquid Interfaces

Abstract Particle assembly at liquid–liquid interfaces presents a promising bottom‐up strategy for creating supramolecular materials with advanced functionalities. However, the significantly lower interfacial tension observed in immiscible ...

A hybrid nanomodulator enables metabolic microenvironment remodeling for potent immunotherapy against lung adenocarcinoma

STING agonist-based immunotherapy holds considerable promise for cancer treatment, yet its efficacy against immunologically “cold” tumors such as lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains markedly limited. A major obstacle lies in the highly glyco...

Twins‐like nanodrugs synchronously transport in blood and coalesce inside tumors for sensitive ultrasound imaging and triggerable penetrative drug delivery

Abstract Nanodrugs capable of aggregating in the tumor microenvironment (TME) have demonstrated great efficiency in improving the therapeutic outcome. Among various approaches, the strategy utilizing electrostatic interaction as a driving f...

Superconductivity emerging from a stripe charge order in IrTe2 nanoflakes

Superconductivity often appears due to suppression of competing electronic orders. Here, the authors present a contrary example showing a superconducting dome inside the parent phase with a stripe charge order in IrTe2 nanoflakes and identi...

Author Correction: Biodegradable black phosphorus-based nanospheres for in vivo photothermal cancer therapy

Research Progress of Conjugated Nanomedicine for Cancer Treatment

The conventional cancer therapeutic modalities include surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Although immunotherapy and targeted therapy are also widely used in cancer treatment, chemotherapy remains the cornerstone of tumor treatment. Wi...

Evaluation of drug delivery performance of curcumin by chitosan synthesized from the skin of the shrimp of the Gulf of Gorgan

Chitosan nanoparticles have emerged as promising carriers for curcumin delivery due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and mucoadhesive properties. This study investigates the development and characterization of chitosan nanoparti...

Nanotechnology: Principles and Practices

Adult Education and Globally Engaged Trainers: The Case of Vocational Training Institutes

Globalization provides access to people, services, goods, ideas, beliefs and values in a new way and poses fundamental challenges for all areas of education in every country. Education on global issues is a process of individual and collect...

Agricultural Transformations and Their Influential Factors Revealed by Archaeobotanical Evidence in Holocene Jiangsu Province, Eastern China

The development and adoption of agriculture has been investigated for decades, and remains a central topic within archaeology. However, most previous studies focus on the crop’s domestication centers, leading to gaps in knowledge, particula...

Palaeoenvironments and hominin evolutionary dynamics in southeast Asia

Abstract Secure environmental contexts are crucial for hominin interpretation and comparison. The discovery of a Denisovan individual and associated fauna at Tam Ngu Hao 2 (Cobra) Cave, Laos, dating back to 164–131 ka, allows for environmen...

Transforming archaeology through practice: Strategies for collaborative archaeology and the Community Archaeology Project at Quseir, Egypt

'Community archaeology' is a relatively new sub-field of research in archaeology that aims to involve local people in the investigation and interpretation of the past. Based on the creation of a community archaeology research project in Qus...

Measurement of the Y(1S) pair production cross section and search for resonances decaying to Y(1S)μ+μ− in proton-proton collisions at s=13TeV

The fiducial cross section for Y(1S) pair production in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV in the region where both Y(1S) mesons have an absolute rapidity below 2.0 is measured to be 79±11(stat)±6(syst)±3(B)pb ass...

Quantum Image Encryption Scheme Using Arnold Transform and S-box Scrambling

The paper proposes a lossless quantum image encryption scheme based on substitution tables (S-box) scrambling, mutation operation and general Arnold transform with keys. First, the key generator builds upon the foundation of SHA-256 hash wi...

Eclipsing Millisecond Pulsars with He Star Companions

Eclipsing millisecond pulsars (MSPs) are a type of pulsar binaries with close orbits (≲1.0 day). They are important objects for studying the accretion history of neutron stars (NSs), pulsar winds, and the origin of isolated MSPs, etc. Recen...

Geographic patterns and dimensions of poverty in the Indian Himalayan region

Despite India's progress in reducing national poverty rates, pockets of severe poverty persist in the mountainous states comprising the Indian Himalayan Region (IHR). This paper examines the geographic patterns and dynamics of consumption a...

Edge-centric connectome-genetic markers of bridging factor to comorbidity between depression and anxiety

Abstract Depression-anxiety comorbidity is commonly attributed to the occurrence of specific symptoms bridging the two disorders. However, the significant heterogeneity of most bridging symptoms presents challenges for psychopathological in...
