Latent fingerprints (LFPs) are invisible impressions that need to be developed before being used for criminal investigation; however, existing fingerprint visualization techniques face challenges, such as complex preparation and poor contrast. To advance practical fingerprint detection, green-emissive micron-sized curcumin/kaolin composites were synthesized a facile and cost-effective one-step physical cross-linking method, which exhibited unprecedented performance in developing diversified marks, including LFPs, knuckle prints, palm prints, and footprints, with clear three-level details on various substrates. Notably, the powders successfully developed LFPs that were aged for 30 days and even up to 100 days, meeting the stringent requirements for comprehensive forensic application.

Magnetic Nanoactuator-Protein Fiber Coated Hydrogel Dressing for Well-Balanced Skin Wound Healing and Tissue Regeneration.

ACS Nano

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Cardiology and Medical Innovation Center, Shanghai East Hospital, The Institute for Biomedical Engineering & Nano Science, School of Medicine, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, P. R. China.

Despite significant progress in skin wound healing, it is still a challenge to construct multifunctional bioactive dressings based on a highly aligned protein fiber coated hydrogel matrix for antifibrosis skin wound regeneration that is indistinguishable to native skin. In this study, a "dual-wheel-driven" strategy is adopted to modify the surface of methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) hydrogel with highly aligned magnetic nanocomposites-protein fiber assemblies (MPF) consisting of photothermal responsive antibacteria superparamagnetic nanocomposites-fibrinogen (Fg) complexes as the building blocks. Whole-phase healing properties of the modified hydrogel dressing, GelMA-MPF (GMPF), stem from the integration of Fg protein with RGD peptide activity decorated on the surface of the antibacterial magnetic nanoactuator, facilitating facile and reproducible dressing preparation by self-assembly and involving biochemical, morphological, and biophysical cues.

Compositionally-graded ferroelectric thin films by solution epitaxy produce excellent dielectric stability.

Nat Commun

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Silicon and Advanced Semiconductor Materials, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, 310027, China.

The composition in ferroelectric oxide films is decisive for optimizing properties and device performances. Controlling a composition distribution in these films by a facile approach is thus highly desired. In this work, we report a solution epitaxy of PbZrTiO films with a continuous gradient of Zr concentration, realized by a competitive growth at ~220 °C.

The slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) have recently attracted significant interest in marine antifouling and corrosion protection. Nevertheless, the insufficient durability and corrosion resistance of SLIPS considerably affect their application potential. In this work, a preparation strategy for ultradurable slippery organic coating was proposed to combat biofouling and corrosion.

Facile preparation of a hydrophilic Eu-based ratiometric fluorescent nanosensor for Cu ion detection and imaging in living cells.

Anal Methods

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Combinatorial Biosynthesis and Drug Discovery (Ministry of Education), School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Wuhan University, Wuhan, 430072, China.

In this work, a hydrophilic Eu-based ratiometric fluorescent nanosensor (PAAC-Eu) was developed for Cu ion detection in aqueous solutions and imaging in living cells. The sensor was prepared a simple one-step reaction at room temperature, leveraging the synergistic coordination of commercially accessible polyacrylic acid (PAA) and coumarin-3-carboxylic acid (CCAH) with Eu ions. PAAC-Eu was easy to disperse in aqueous media and exhibited two characteristic emission bands at 406 nm and 618 nm, respectively, upon excitation at 350 nm.
