In this work, an innovative doxorubicin (DOX) imprinted photoluminescent polymer via the precipitation free-radical polymerization strategy was developed based on graphene quantum dots as a pH-responsive nanocarrier. The prepared materials were characterized by Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscopy, photoluminescence, and dynamic light scattering techniques. Binding kinetics of DOX established specific recognition binding sites in the photoluminescent nanoscale molecularly imprinted polymer (PLMIP) structure. drug release behaviors exhibited a pH-controlled release in a sustained manner for the prepared photoluminescent nanocarriers. Due to the presence of pseudopeptide skeletons in the nanocarrier and a positively charged structure, the cytotoxicity study indicated that a DOX-loaded nanocarrier against human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cell lines has notable cytotoxicity. According to the obtained results, the prepared pH-responsive PLMIP has the potential to be employed as an anticancer and biodetection platform.

Physical unclonable functions (PUFs) are emerging as a cutting-edge technology for enhancing information security by providing robust security authentication and non-reproducible cryptographic keys. Incorporating renewable and biocompatible materials into PUFs ensures safety for handling, compatibility with biological systems, and reduced environmental impact. However, existing PUF platforms struggle to balance high encoding capacity, diversified encryption signatures, and versatile functionalities with sustainability and biocompatibility.

Twisted hexagonal boron nitride (thBN) exhibits ferroelectricity due to moiré superlattices with AB/BA domains. These domains possess electric dipoles, leading to a periodic electrostatic potential that can be imprinted onto other materials placed in its proximity. Here we demonstrate the remote imprinting of moiré patterns from thBN onto monolayer MoSe and investigate the changes in the exciton properties.

Effective bacterial detection is crucial for health diagnostics, particularly for the detection of pathogenic species like Escherichia coli (E. coli), which is responsible for up to 90% of urinary tract infections (UTIs), is especially crucial. Current detection methods are time-consuming, often delaying diagnosis and treatment.

This study aims to synthesize a core-shell gelatin-based carbon quantum dot-molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP@g-CQD) via the precipitation free-radical polymerization process using methotrexate (MTX) as a model anticancer template. To investigate the efficiency of the prepared photoluminescent MIP@g-CQD as a pH-responsive nano-carrier, MTX was loaded into MIP@g-CQD by soaking in a drug solution and the release behavior of the loaded drug was evaluated in the necessary pH values (7.4, 5).

Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) offer high color purity essential to high-quality liquid crystal displays (LCDs), which enables unprecedented levels of color enrichment in LCD-TVs today. However, for LCDs requiring polarized backplane illumination in operation, highly polarized light generation using inherently isotropic QDs remains a fundamental challenge. Here, we show strongly polarized color conversion of isotropic QDs coupled to Fano resonances of v-grooved surfaces compatible with surface-normal LED illumination for next-generation QD-TVs.
