We show the assembly of carboxylate-modified polystyrene nanoparticles into flexible circular, ring-shaped structures with micrometer sized diameters around the base of surface-adhered lipid vesicles. The rings remain around the vesicles but disintegrate when the lipid membranes are dissolved in detergent. The aqueous medium allows carbodiimide-based cross-linking chemistry to be applied to the particle assemblies resulting in the preservation of the rings even after the lipid compartments are dissolved.

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are gaining recognition as potentially effective carriers for delivery of therapeutic agents, including nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), for the prevention and treatment of various diseases. Much effort has been devoted to the implementation of microfluidic techniques for the production of monodisperse and stable LNPs and the improvement of encapsulation efficiency. Here, we developed three-dimensional (3D)-printed ring micromixers for the production of size-controllable and monodispersed LNPs with a high mRNA delivery efficiency.

Developing novelplatinum (Pt)-based hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysts with high activity and stability is significant for the ever-broader applications of hydrogen energy. However, achieving precise modulation of the ultrafine Pt nanoparticles coordination environment in conventional catalysts is challenging. In this work, we developed a unique "ring-shaped cavity induced" strategy to anchor the Pt through the ring-shaped cavity of polyoxometalates (POMs) NaHPWO (denoted as PW).

The overuse of tetracycline (TC) has led to the accumulation of antibiotic residues in drinking water and animal products, which can consequently lead to bacteria resistance and chronic disease in humans. Urgently addressing the need for a rapid, user-friendly, and point-of-care test for TC detection. In this work, we use cyclen and citric acid to synthesise carbon dots (CDs) with a unique ring-shaped structure on their surface and combine them with europium (Eu) to form an Eu-CDs fluorescent probe.

Misty plasma processes based on colloidal solutions sprayed into low-pressure plasmas have recently shown great potential for multifunctional thin film deposition. In such processes, nanoparticle accumulation in ring-shaped structures remains the main obstacle to the synthesis of high-quality coatings containing abundant, small-scale, and evenly dispersed nanoparticles. These local buildups appear after a colloidal droplet evaporates from a substrate.
