Owing to their molecule-like structure — particularly their atomic precision and protein-like hierarchy — metal NCs feature numerous useful molecule-like properties, including discrete energy levels, strong luminescence, intrinsic magnetism and programmable catalytic activity. In this Review, by regarding metal NCs as metallic analogues of organic molecules, we summarize methodological and mechanistic advances in their precise synthesis at the molecular and atomic levels. We first decipher cluster structure based on a protein-like hierarchical scheme and discuss synthetic strategies that realize molecular monodispersity in these clusters. We resolve formation mechanisms of metal NCs at the molecular level, aiming to establish step-by-step reaction maps reminiscent of total synthesis routes of organic molecules. We then examine approaches to customize the composition and morphology of the metal core, metal–ligand interface and ligand shell at the atom level. This Review concludes with our perspectives on the future development of atomic precision chemistry in both metal NCs and other inorganic nanomaterials. Ligand-protected metal nanoclusters, with their molecule-like structures and properties, represent the molecular state of metal materials. This Review examines what is currently possible in their precise synthesis — from size control at the molecular level to composition and morphology control at the atomic level.","PeriodicalId":19081,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Materials","volume":"10 2","pages":"89-108"},"PeriodicalIF":79.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142580164","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}

However, current tools for decoding tissue biomechanics rely on rigid and bulky devices that are not compatible with biological tissues. Such a discrepancy results in inaccurate measurement and even pain and discomfort for the subjects undergoing the measurement. To overcome the limitations of current tools, conformable electronic devices have been developed for monitoring internal and external tissue biomechanics. Moreover, by adopting advanced machine-learning approaches, more insights can be gained from the collected data. In this Review, we provide a comprehensive overview of conformable electronic devices for tissue biomechanics decoding. We discuss basic principles for external and internal tissue decoding, focusing on electromechanical transduction for external tissue decoding and on ultrasonography for internal tissue decoding. Then, we highlight various data analysis methods, including machine-learning algorithms. Finally, we outline challenges and future directions. Tissue biomechanics provides essential biological information that is important for various biomedical applications.

Despite their widespread and mainstream use, current silicon-based devices are unreliable at temperatures exceeding 125 °C. The emergent technological frontiers of space exploration, geothermal energy harvesting, nuclear energy, unmanned avionic systems and autonomous driving will rely on control systems, sensors and communication devices that operate at temperatures as high as 500 °C and beyond. At these extreme temperatures, active (heat exchanger and phase-change cooling) or passive (fins and thermal interface materials) cooling strategies add considerable mass and complicate the systems, which is often infeasible. Thus, new material solutions beyond conventional silicon complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor devices are necessary for high-temperature, resilient electronic systems. The ultimate realization of high-temperature electronic systems requires united efforts to develop, integrate and ultimately manufacture non-silicon-based logic and memory technologies, non-traditional metals for interconnects and ceramic packaging technology. Digital electronics capable of operating at elevated temperatures are gaining importance in aerospace, space and geothermal energy as well as oil and gas exploration.
