An ideal green leaf-deposited pesticide formulation should offer advantages such as good water dispersibility, strong foliar affinity, sustained or controlled release of active ingredients, photostability and rain-fastness, minimal nontarget toxicity, use of nontoxic organic solvents, and degradable adjuvants. In line with this objective, we present green preparation of a colloidal pesticide formulation using optimized lysine-derived carbon dots (LysCDs)-modified CaCO (LysCDs/CaCO) particles as the carrier and abamectin (Abm) as the active ingredient. The loading capacity of abamectin in this colloidal pesticide (LysCDs/CaCO/Abm) is 1.

Ferroptosis, a regulated form of cell death driven by oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, has emerged as a pivotal research focus with implications across various cellular contexts. In this study, we employed a multifaceted approach, integrating label-free Raman spectroscopy and microfluidics to study the mechanisms underpinning ferroptosis. Our investigations included the ferroptosis initiation based on the changes in the lipid Raman band at 1436 cm under different cellular states, the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid peroxidation, DNA damage/repair, and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Neurological disorders are the second leading cause of death globally, with Alzheimer's disease (AD) emerging as a significant contributor, responsible for 276 million cases in disability-adjusted life years. Conventional diagnostic methods are often invasive, costly, and place a considerable strain on global healthcare systems. In this study, we presented an innovative and efficient strategy for AD assessment through blood profiling using a multiwell glass chip integrated with aptamer-based surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) biosensors.

Geckos are renowned for their exceptional climbing abilities, enabled by their specialized feet with hairy toes that attach to surfaces using van der Waals forces. Inspired by these capabilities, various gecko-like robots have been developed for high-risk applications, such as search and rescue. While most research has focused on adhesion mechanisms, the gecko's tail also plays a critical role in maintaining balance and stability.

Near-infrared-II (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging-guided photothermal therapy (PTT) represents a cutting-edge approach for precise tumor diagnosis and treatment, providing real-time therapeutic efficacy evaluation. However, a significant challenge lies in the creation of phototheranostic agents that provide robust imaging and efficient photothermal conversion. To address this, a donor-π-acceptor (D-π-A) structure heptamethine cyanine derivative, IR1116, that confers a strong intramolecular charge transfer effect is developed.
