Unlike conventional exfoliation method, LSPT<sup>2D</sup> enables chemical phase engineering, preserving structural integrity while imparting exceptional properties. Prussene exhibits a high saturation magnetization (108.3 emu/g) and enhanced conductivity due to its conductive carbon matrix. Demonstrating transformative electromagnetic wave absorption, it achieves a reflection loss of −51.7 dB and a 5.87 GHz effective bandwidth across GHz–THz frequencies, surpassing state-of-the-art absorbers. These attributes position Prussene as a breakthrough for stealth technologies and ultrahigh-frequency communications.

Defective Paneth cell (PC) differentiation and disrupted goblet cell (GC) mucus exacerbate intestinal inflammation, driving IBD progression. In this context, we investigated the therapeutic effects of tungsten-encapsulated zinc nanoparticles (W@ZnNPs) in murine models of IBD. 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.

However, their instability in moisture hinders practical use, highlighting the need for an atomic-scale understanding of their degradation mechanism. 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. Conversely, the BSMC can heat a space via photo-thermal effect at low temperatures. Moreover, the BSMC addresses heat accumulation in thermal camouflage nets.
