Surfaces that enable liquid superspreading, characterized by rapid or extensive spreading, are particularly valuable due to their implications in functional film fabrication, heat management, liquid/liquid separation, and more. Recently, significant research is conducted on liquid superspreading surfaces, with microstructure-regulated surfaces gaining increasing attention. However, the deeper correlations between microstructural physical factors and the superspreading behaviors, along with the relevant applications, remain inadequately understood. This review aims to consolidate the existing knowledge from published results and stimulate further investigation by detailing structures, functionalities, and principles for constructing liquid superspreading surfaces. Examining is began by the energy balance between input and dissipation that underpins droplet spreading dynamics. Then current designs are reviewed for superspreading surfaces, with a focus on chemical and physical aspects, giving greater emphasis to the physical perspective. Additionally, several typical applications are categorized based on liquid superspreading behaviors across various fields.

However, systemic methionine blockade may raise concerns about potential side effects given the broad and essential functions of methionine in cellular metabolism. Here, a combined drug delivery platform for multilayered constraint of methionine within tumor lesions is developed. Small molecule inhibitors PF9366 and adenosine dialdehyde are encapsulated by tumor cell-targeting nanoparticles (NPs) to achieve a cascaded blockage of intracellular methionine metabolism. These NPs are further co-loaded with the extracellular methionine uptake inhibitor JPH203 into a type of reactive oxygen species-sensitive hydrogel, assembling the multiplex methionine modulating hydrogel (3 M Gel). In murine models of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), hepatocellular carcinoma, and colorectal cancer, the in situ formed 3 M Gel exhibits superior efficacy in restricting S-adenosyl methionine generation and histone methylation, stimulating immunogenic cell death in tumor cells, thereby eliciting potent innate and adaptive immune responses to restrain tumor progression. Moreover, remodeling of the tumor microenvironment by 3 M Gel overcomes immune checkpoint blockade resistance in TNBC. This study presents a localized triple regulation strategy and paves a new path for amino acid starvation-based cancer therapy.","PeriodicalId":114,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Materials","volume":"152 1","pages":"e2420445"},"PeriodicalIF":29.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144065682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The enhancement of scintillator performance through nanophotonics and nanoplasmonics, specifically using the Purcell effect, has shown promise but has so far been limited to ultrathin scintillator films because of the localized nature of this effect. This study introduces a method to expand the application of nanoplasmonic scintillators to the bulk regime. By integrating 100-nm-sized plasmonic spheroid and cuboid nanoparticles with perovskite scintillator nanocrystals, nanoplasmonic scintillators are enabled to function effectively within bulk-scale devices. Power and decay rate enhancements of up to (3.20 ± 0.20) and (4.20 ± 0.31) folds are experimentally demonstrated for plasmonic spheroid and cuboid nanoparticles, respectively, in a 5-mm thick CsPbBr<sub>3</sub> nanocrystal-polymer scintillator at RT. Theoretical modeling also predicts similar enhancements of up to (2.26 ± 0.31) and (3.02 ± 0.69) folds for the same nanoparticle shapes and dimensions.

In this study, a comprehensive analysis is conducted under simulated flight conditions to reveal the degradation mechanism of aviation batteries. Low-temperature and low-pressure lead to a sluggish kinetics and hinder thermodynamic process. As the reversibility of Li-ions insertion and extraction is deteriorates, residual Li-ions accumulate and plated-Li on the anode, accelerating the aging process and arising the issue of internal short circuits. Additionally, the interatomic distance of Ni-coordination induces significant stress variations, which drives an expanded occupation of porosity in the electrode under flight conditions, with 2.13% void spaces of cathode and 13.39% of anode. The formation and growth of cracks elongate the charge transfer pathway, increasing resistance and reducing rate capability.

Frontal Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization (FROMP) is an energy-efficient curing process and allows additive manufacturing of pDCPD. 2,3-Dihydrofuran (DHF) has been shown as an effective comonomer to allow the deconstruction of pDCPD thermosets when incorporated at a small fraction in pDCPD. Herein, a simple strategy for chemical recycling of pDCPD thermosets is reported, and maintaining FROMP characteristics and thermomechanical properties of the thermosets over five life cycles. Norbornadiene (NBD) is a key additive in resins containing recycled pDCPD to enhance polymerization kinetics and sustain FROMP characteristics. A one-pot strategy is also developed to deconstruct pDCPD thermosets and simultaneously functionalize the chain ends with norbornenes for reincorporating deconstructed oligomers back to the next generation thermoset. Using these strategies, five generations of recycling pDCPD thermosets with invariable thermomechanical properties are demonstrated.

Nanofluidic memristors, which harness ions for signal transmission within electrolyte solutions, closely resemble biological neuronal ion channels and hold the potential for the development of biorealistic neuromorphic devices. Herein, inspired by the optogenetic technique that utilized light to tune the ions dynamic, an optical-controlled nanofluidic artificial dendrite by embedding layered graphene oxide (GO) within a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomer is developed. Taking advantage of the confinement effect of ions in the nanochannel, it has demonstrated optically-modulated ionic currents, which can effectively replicate dendritic functions. The mechanism can be attributed to the migration of Na+ ions, driven by the electric potential difference light illumination. The dendritic spatial and temporal multiport integrations are realized, including the dendritic sublinear/superlinear integrations and spike-rate-dependent plasticity (SRDP). Moreover, the hand withdrawal reflex, as a crucial mode of neuroregulation governed by central nerve and brain control signals, is replicated in the nanofluidic dendrite-based neuromorphic system, capable of managing a range of withdrawal states of a mechanical arm.

Additionally, the cytotoxicity of a photoinitiator is always a concern, especially in bioapplications. Herein, a photoinitiating system composed of an FDA-approved methylene blue photosensitizer and cytocompatible triethanolamine is introduced. The system can induce photopolymerization upon 625 nm irradiation and leaves no visible trace of the methylene blue color afterward, thus named \"traceless\". With this approach, gelatine methacrylate hydrogel is successfully polymerized under ambient conditions. The hydrogel is permanently colorless with well-controlled stiffness due to the light-dependent nature of the polymerization process. The system is further successfully applied in extrusion-based 3D-bioprinting with NIH-3T3 fibroblasts, followed by photocuring to produce cell-laden 3D structures, indicating its potential for tissue engineering. Upon culturing the cell-laden constructs, the fibroblasts are able to proliferate and adhere to the hydrogel material.
