A facile and environmentally friendly hydrothermal approach has been employed to synthesize size-controllable quasi-cubic α-Fe O nanocrystals by using an aqueous solution of FeCl without any alkaline materials and stabilizing agent. The as-prepared products were carefully characterized and the growth mechanism is also discussed. This hydrothermal synthesis of such quasi-cubic structures implies a simple and low-cost route to prepare monodisperse nanomaterials on a large scale. The size-controllable synthesis of α-Fe O is the first achieved successfully from 80 nm to 2 μm with constant structures. The synthesized α-Fe O materials have different optical properties and stabilities in water, which are caused by the change of their band-gap energy and specific surface areas. Finally, the dielectric properties of synthesized α-Fe O cubes were also investigated, and the differences caused by the particle sizes are discussed.

Background: There has been little application of fluorine-substituted hydroxyapatites (FHAs) in dental adhesives. Previous studies primarily focused on the effect of fluoride content on enamel remineralization, neglecting the role of FHA particle size. This study aimed to synthesize uniform FHA nanorods of varying sizes by adjusting the fluorine doping levels, and to investigate the synergistic effects of the fluorine content and nanorod size on enamel remineralization by incorporating the FHA nanorods into adhesives.

Microrobots for endovascular embolization face challenges in precise delivery within dynamic blood vessels. Here, an intelligent generic high-throughput oscillatory shear technology (iGHOST) is proposed to fabricate diversely programmable, multifunctional microrobots capable of real-time visual guidance for in vivo endovascular embolization. Leveraging machine learning (ML), key synthesis parameters affecting the success and sphericity of the microrobots are identified.

Article Synopsis
- Rare-earth oxyfluoride (REOF) colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) have low photoluminescence efficiency due to small size, poor crystallinity, and surface quenching effects.
- An innovative approach involves doping sodium ions into these NCs, resulting in size-controllable, well-crystallized, and highly luminescent core/shell NCs that significantly improve luminescence.
- The developed NCs show potential applications in multicolor luminescent inks for information security and high-resolution imaging in the near-infrared-IIb range, enhancing the use of rare-earth doped NCs in various fields.

Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has been limited by the tumor microenvironment, such as the low concentration of hydrogen peroxide (HO). The combination of therapeutic strategies that increase HO with CDT can synergistically enhance the therapeutic effect. Herein, a novel supramolecular PEG-DNA-ferrocene nanogel that can codeliver glucose oxidase (GOx) and the hypoxia-activable prodrug tirapazamine (TPZ) was developed to synergistically amplify CDT via cascade reactions.

Article Synopsis
- The study addresses the challenge of localized cancer pain by exploring a combination of gas therapy and targeted interventional ablation therapy.
- Researchers created HA-AsS nanoparticles using different molecular weights of sodium hyaluronate to control particle size, which are able to release hydrogen sulfide gas and arsenic in acidic environments.
- The released arsenic harms tumor mitochondria, increasing reactive oxygen species, while hydrogen sulfide gas further disrupts mitochondrial functions, leading to effective tumor destruction and pain relief in mice.
