The development of bio-MOFs or MOF biocomposites through the combination of MOFs with
biopolymers offers the possibility of expanding the potential applications of MOFs, making …

The morphology of supramolecular peptide nanostructures is difficult to predict given their
complex energy landscapes. We investigated peptide amphiphiles containing β-sheet …

The alarming and prevailing antibiotic resistance crisis urgently calls for innovative “outside
of the box” antibacterial agents, which can differ substantially from conventional antibiotics …

Inspired by natural hierarchical self-assembly of proteins and peptides, amino acids, as the
basic building units, have been shown to self-assemble to form highly ordered structures …

Though thiols are exceptionally versatile, their high reactivity has also hindered the
synthesis and characterization of well-defined thiol-containing porous materials. Leveraging …

Nature uses extracellular matrix scaffolds to organize biominerals into hierarchical structures
over various length scales. This has inspired the design of biomimetic mineralization …

Peptides possess many appealing and desirable features, which have attracted increasing
attention in the field of electrochemical biosensing. However, peptides hardly produce …

Artificial organelles can manipulate cellular functions and introduce non-biological
processes into cells. Coacervate droplets have emerged as a close analog of …

Photothermal therapy is an ideal non-invasive treatment for bacterial infections. However, if
photothermal agents are unable to target bacteria, they can also cause thermal damage to …

Triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is promising as a sustainable power source for energy-
autonomous electronics. This work demonstrates for the first time that a highly-performing …
