N-MWCNTs <0.5 µg mL<sup>−1</sup> do not affect the viability of HEK293 cells and adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs). Intramuscular administration of N-MWCNTs does not affect the body weight gain and feed intake of mice, but reduces the fat mass. In in vitro-cultured adipocytes, N-MWCNTs suppress fat accumulation, accompanied by decreased and increased expression of adipogenic and lipolysis genes, respectively. Transcriptome analysis further certifies the N-MWCNT alteration of fat metabolism-related genes. Interestingly, the internalization of N-MWCNTs by macrophage-like cells via Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging is observed.

The application of an ultrathin film as a coating on thermoelectric materials via atomic layer deposition (ALD) has recently attracted attention as a novel approach to enhance the performance. The excellent conformality of ALD enables the conformal deposition of ultrathin films on powder to enable the interfacial properties to be meticulously controlled even after sintering. Using ALD to deposit an ultrathin layer on the thermoelectric powder matrix induces various defects through the interactions of the coating material with the thermoelectric matrix, which provide exquisite control over the material properties.
