Engineered Peptide Self‐Assembled Nanofibers for Enhanced STING Activation: A Promising Nanodelivery Platform for Immunotherapy of Pediatric Solid Tumors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An engineered peptide self‐assembled nanofiber platform, designed to replicate STING–cGAMP binding motifs, facilitates pH‐responsive cytosolic delivery of cGAMP, enhances the endoplasmic reticulum with high efficiency, and robustly activates the STING pathway.

Soil pH Amelioration Synergizes Carbon Accrual with Yield Gains Under Organic Substitution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Soil pH shifts towards neutrality in both acidic and alkaline soils under organic substitution. A global synthesis links pH amelioration to soil organic carbon accrual through enhanced microbial biomass after accounting for added organic carbon and its interaction with pH. This pH amelioration‐shared soil organic carbon accrual accounts for 5.1–8.6% of

Near‐Unity Photothermal Conversion in Bimetallic M44 and M81 Nanoclusters Enables NIR‐Driven Photo‐Thermo‐Electricity Generation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Atomically precise nanoclusters of Au/Ag alloys are explored as high‐performance photothermal materials, delivering record‐high photothermal efficiencies (up to 91%). Photo‐thermo‐electricity is further demonstrated by integrating nanocluster films with thermoelectric devices.
