A simple and safe technique which is based on glow discharge is demonstrated for stable encapsulation of H atoms in cage-shaped silsesquioxanes at room temperature, leading to the encapsulation yield of ca. 10(-4) H atoms per molecule for 10-minute discharging, much faster than the conventional gamma-ray irradiation technique.

Nanorobots hold great promise for integrated drug delivery systems that are responsive to molecular triggers. Herein, we successfully developed an automatic smart bionanorobot that has transport capability and recognizes and removes zinc ions from poisoned cells based on nanoscale polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane molecules. This intelligent bionanorobot can easily move inside and outside the cell and find zinc ions owing to its highly selective recognition to zinc ions and high cell permeability, especially the well-combined high penetration and strong binding energy.

Amine-functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS), the smallest, monodisperse cage-shaped silica cubic nanoparticle, is exceptionally interfacially active and can form assemblies that jam the toluene/water interface, locking in non-equilibrium shapes of one liquid phase in another. The packing density of the amine-functionalized POSS assembly at the water/toluene interface can be tuned by varying the concentration, the pH value, and the degree of POSS functionalization. Functionalized POSS gives a higher interface coverage, and hence a lower interfacial tension, than nanoparticle surfactants formed by interactions between functionalized nanoparticles and polymeric ligands.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has drawn extensive attention as a promising cancer treatment modality. However, most PDT nanoagents suffer from insufficient drug loading capacity, a severe self-quenching effect, premature release of drugs and/or potential toxicity. Herein, we rationally designed an inorganic-organic nanohybrid with high drug loading capacity and superior chemical stability for enhanced PDT.
