We report on a chemiresistive gas sensor using boron nanostructures as the sensing layer, to detect methane gas down to 50 ppm. The sensor showed an excellent response of 43.5-153.1% for a methane concentration of 50 ppm to 105 ppm, with linear behaviour and good response and recovery time. The stability, repeatability, reproducibility, and shelf life of the sensor are promising for next generation methane gas detection.

The miniaturization of electrochemical supercapacitors (EC-SCs) requires electrode materials that are both durable and efficient. Boron-doped diamond (BDD) films are an ideal choice for EC-SC due to their durability and exceptional electrochemical performance. In this study, nanostructured boron-doped ultra-nanocrystalline diamonds (NBUNCD) are fabricated on Si micro-pyramids (Si) using a simple reactive ion etching (RIE) process.

Polaritons in two-dimensional (2D) materials provide unique opportunities for controlling light at nanoscales. Tailoring these polaritons via gradient polaritonic surfaces with space-variant response can enable versatile light-matter interaction platforms with advanced functionalities. However, experimental progress has been hampered by the optical losses and poor light confinement of conventionally used artificial nanostructures.

Transdermal insulin delivery in a painless, convenient, and on-demand way remains a long-standing challenge. A variety of smart microneedles (MNs) fabricated by glucose-responsive phenylboronic acid hydrogels have been previously developed to provide painless and autonomous insulin release in response to a glucose level change. However, like the majority of MNs, their transdermal delivery efficiency was still relatively low compared to that with subcutaneous injection.

Periodontitis is characterized by dysbiotic biofilms, gingival inflammation, and bone resorption, highlighting the urgent need for a comprehensive approach to drug combination therapy. In this study, we introduce dynamic covalent nanonetworks (dcNNWs) synthesized through a one-pot, four-component reaction-induced self-assembly method using polyamines, 2-formylphenylboronic acid, epigallocatechin gallate, and alendronate. The formation of iminoboronate bonds drives the creation of dcNNWs, allowing controlled release in the periodontitis microenvironment.

The synthesis of large, freestanding, single-atom-thick two-dimensional (2D) metallic materials remains challenging due to the isotropic nature of metallic bonding. Here, we present a bottom-up approach for fabricating macroscopically large, nearly freestanding 2D gold (Au) monolayers, consisting of nanostructured patches. By forming Au monolayers on an Ir(111) substrate and embedding boron (B) atoms at the Au/Ir interface, we achieve suspended monoatomic Au sheets with hexagonal structures and triangular nanoscale patterns.
