Integrating Dual-Interfacial Liquid Metal Based Nanodroplet Architectures and Micro-Nanostructured Engineering for High Efficiency Solar Energy Harvesting.

Broadband strong absorption of solar light over a wide range of angles, low heat loss, and excellent structural reliability are of significance for enhancing solar harvesting of photothermal materials; however, it remains a challenge to achieve these attributes simultaneously. Herein, a tailored photothermal composite nanodroplet (LMP-rGO) featured with dual-interface, which comprises liquid metal (LM) core with polydopamine (PDA) photothermal middle layer of tunable thickness and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) shell, is particularly prepared. Thermal-insulating PDA coating and light-absorbing carbonaceous shell allow it to synergistically suppress heat loss and reinforce photon absorptivity.

Millefeuille-inspired highly conducting polymer nanocomposites based on controllable layer-by-layer assembly strategy for durable and stable electromagnetic interference shielding.

High-performance conductive polymer nanocomposites containing two-dimensional (2D) MXene are garnering substantial interest for electromagnetic shielding interference (EMI) in flexible electronics. However, owing to the non-sticky nature and undesirable mechanical performances of freestanding MXene film, it remains a formidable challenge to make the trade-off between outstanding EMI shielding capability and high stability. In this study, inspired by the structure and manufacturing process of millefeuille cakes, we propose a controllably layer-by-layer assembling strategy for fabricating flexible multilayered EMI shielding composite films based on MXene and an inherently conductive polymer (ICP).

Reexpression of ARHI inhibits tumor growth and angiogenesis and impairs the mTOR/VEGF pathway in hepatocellular carcinoma.

The Ras-related tumor suppressor gene aplasia Ras homolog member I (ARHI) is frequently downregulated in many types of cancer, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, we sought to explore the therapeutic implications of ARHI reconstitution in the treatment of HCC. We generated stable cell lines overexpressing ARHI in Hep3B and SK-Hep1 cells, both of which lack endogenous ARHI.
