In material synthesis, nanoconfinement acts both as a physical reactor to tune the shape and
size of nanomaterials, and as a chemical microenvironment for the nucleation and growth of …

Phosphorescence shows great potential for application in bioimaging and ion detection
because of its long-lived luminescence and high signal-to-noise ratio, but establishing …

Polymeric biomaterials are often used in water and hydration water molecules with different
mobilities, such as non-freezing water, intermediate water, and free water, are formed on …

Activating room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) emission in aqueous environments is
a challenging feat because of the releasing of nonradiative decay pathways. Here, a design …

Despite the abundance of water's crystalline polymorphs, the growth mechanisms of most
ice forms remain poorly understood. This study applies extensive molecular dynamics (MD) …

Thermally activated delay fluorescence (TADF) has great potential for information
encryption, temperature detection, and bioimaging due to its long‐lived luminescence …

Electrochemistry is a promising building block for the global transition to a sustainable
energy market. Particularly the electroreduction of CO2 and the electrolysis of water might …

Coacervation generally refers to liquid–liquid phase separation when mixing oppositely
charged polyelectrolytes in an aqueous solution, which produces a polyelectrolyte-dense …

Effect of alkyl chain spacer length between the charged groups (CSL) in zwitterionic poly
(sulfobetaine)(PSB) brushes on the hydration state was investigated. PSB brushes with ethyl …

High-performance catheters are essential for interventional surgeries, requiring reliable anti-
adhesive and lubricated surfaces. This article develops a strategy for constructing high …
