Synthetic Strategy for mRNA Encapsulation and Gene Delivery with Nanoscale Metal‐Organic Frameworks
This research utilizes the ZIF‐8 for the encapsulation and intracellular delivery of nucleic acids, specifically mRNA, for applications in gene delivery. Integrating PEI addresses the issue of mRNA leakage from ZIF‐8, resulting in the delivery and expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP) in vitro and firefly luciferase in vivo.

Nanodiamond‐Infused Microgels for pH‐Tunable Rheology, Lubrication, and UV Protection
Microgels consisting of swollen polyacrylic acid polymer networks, impregnated with nanodiamonds provide protection from ultraviolet (UV) radiation harmful to human health. Nanodiamonds enable UV blockage and control of the rheology (flow) and lubrication (skin‐feel) of these microgel‐skincare‐mimics.

A Universal Biomimetic Approach for Making Artificial Antigen‐Presenting Cells for T Cell Activation
This study shows a biomimetic silica microcapsule (SMC) fabrication method under mild conditions for making artificial antigen‐presenting cells (aAPCs). Inspired by marine biomineralization, peptide‐mediated biosilicification enables silica shell formation on emulsion templates. The resulting SMCs possess a core–shell structure, controlled fluorescence

Fluoride‐Free Molten Salt Hydrate‐Assisted Synthesis of MXene in Air Down to 150 °C
A novel low‐temperature shielded salt (LSS) approach enables the synthesis of MXenes in air at temperatures as low as 150 °C using MgCl2·6H2O/LiCl. This method demonstrates successful etching of challenging MXenes like Cr2CTx and Nb2CTx through the synergistic effects of Li+ ions and salt hydrate phase changes, while eliminating the need for inert ...
