A photoactivatable binary system of oligonucleotide conjugates that form reactive species when assembling on a target nucleotide sequence has been developed. The binary system consists of two oligonucleotides. One contains a photosensitizing group, and the second contains a photoreactive group. Binding of the oligonucleotides to adjacent sequences in the target nucleic acid brings the groups in contact, which allows transfer of the absorbed energy from the sensitizer to the reagent and triggers crosslinking of the reagent to the target. One advantage of the binary system is the improved specificity, which is determined by independent binding of two oligonucleotides to the target sequence. Another advantage is the very high efficiency of the reaction achieved because each molecule of the target-bound sensitizing conjugate can activate many photoreactive oligonucleotide conjugate molecules bound to the target sequence.

Developing nanoscale platforms with high integration, assembly efficiency, and structural stability for performing complex computations in specific cells remains a significant challenge. To address this, the Three-dimensional Hierarchical Octahedral Robotic (THOR) DNA nanoplatform is introduced, which integrates targeting, logic computation, and sensing modules within a single framework. This nanoplatform specifically binds to cancer cell surface proteins, releasing aptamer-linked fuel chains to initiate subsequent computational processes.

A series of D-π-A compounds, with fluorene and its heteroanalogs (carbazole, dibenzofuran, dibenzothiophene) as the donor units and phenanthroimidazole as the acceptor, were designed and synthesized for non-volatile memory device applications. The effect of single-atom substitution on memory behavior was examined through optical, electrochemical, and computational studies. The photophysical studies confirm a significant intramolecular charge transfer from the donor to the acceptor unit, and the electrochemical analysis shows an irreversible anodic peak (0.

Dielectric energy storage capacitors are indispensable components in advanced electronic and electrical systems. Excellent performance requires the dielectric materials possessing low residual polarization (Pr), high breakdown strength (Eb), and large maximum polarization (Pm). The first two parameters can be typically achieved through chemical regulation, while the Pmax is closely related to the matrix.

Purpose: The largest cause of cancer-related fatalities worldwide is lung cancer. The dimensions and positioning of the primary tumor, the presence of lesions, the type of lung cancer like malignant or benign, and the good mental health diagnosis all play a part in the diagnosis of the disease.
Methods: Three processes should be used by standard computer-assisted diagnosis (CAD) systems to detect lung cancer: preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification.

Potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) have emerged as promising candidates for low-cost, high-energy storage systems, driven by their fast ionic conductivity and high operating voltage. To develop advanced KIBs, the performance is usually evaluated in half-cell tests using highly reactive potassium metal, which often leads to misinterpretation of the results due to degradation processes between metal anode and electrolyte components. Here, we systematically investigated the surface reactivity of potassium metal, which is in contact with commonly used solvent combinations, namely, mixtures of ethylene carbonate and linear bis(alkyl)carbonates.
