W@ZnNPs, with their high gastric stability and minimal side effects, have been found to enhance the mucosal barrier by improving Paneth and goblet cell functions, thus mitigating gut microbiota dysbiosis-induced inflammation. Orally delivered, W@ZnNPs outperformed mesalamine and other nanoadjuvants in ameliorating colitis, mainly through a dual mechanism of tungsten-mediated editing of Enterobacteriaceae and zinc-mediated modulation of intestinal cells. Most importantly, W@ZnNPs hold the potential to restore host-microbe interactions, making them a promising nanotherapeutic for IBD treatment.","PeriodicalId":388,"journal":{"name":"Matter","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143713625","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}

Here, we uncover water-induced degradation pathways of perovskite nanocrystals using <em>in situ</em> liquid-phase transmission electron microscopy, revealing a distinctive dissolution process driven by ion solvation. The dissolution rates vary according to crystallographic direction, influenced by the surface polarity of different crystal facets, leading to a shape transformation from nanocubes to nanospheres. These observations are further supported by <em>in situ</em> X-ray scattering analysis. Notably, surface passivation of perovskite nanocrystals with halide ion pair ligands provides effective edge passivation, alters the degradation trajectories by preserving their cubic shape during the initial stages, and significantly reduces the overall degradation rate. This study offers critical insights into the water-induced degradation mechanisms of perovskite nanocrystals, potentially guiding strategies to enhance their stability.","PeriodicalId":388,"journal":{"name":"Matter","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143713627","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}

Autonomous thermal regulation and high cooling power are attained for the BSMC. Compared to conventional RCC, the BSMC achieves superior cooling performance (a reduction of 4°C) at high temperatures.

Here, a high-performance stretchable OECT that combines a biocompatible ionic liquid-modified conducting polymer channel with an ionogel electrolyte is developed, addressing the trade-off between performance and wearability. This OECT achieves exceptional transconductance (∼2.1 mS), mechanical resilience (30% strain), and long-term stability (>6 months), enabling high-fidelity electrocardiography (ECG) monitoring with a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 35.7 dB.
