Hydro‐Torsional Compaction for Scalable Production of Aramid Nanofiber Threads with Densely Assembled Double‐Helical Nanostructures

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This paper introduces a scalable strategy for producing hierarchically aligned PBDT threads through wet‐spinning, controlled drawing, and post‐spinning twisting. Ionic crosslinking reinforces structural stability, whereas alignment and twisting optimize mechanical performance.

NIR‐Activated Ag2S Quantum Dots for Efficient Broad‐Spectrum Antibacterial and Biofilm Disruption

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study presents a novel non‐antibiotic strategy leveraging NIR‐activated Ag2S QDs for synergistic PTT/PDT. The platform degrades the protective extracellular matrix via localized hyperthermia, facilitating deep penetration and ROS‐induced oxidative damage.

Variable Urbanization Warming Effects across Metropolitans of China and Relevant Driving Factors

Remote Sensing, 2020
Urbanization is mainly characterized by the expansion of impervious surface (IS) and hence modifies hydrothermal properties of the urbanized areas. This process results in rising land surface temperature (LST) of the urbanized regions, i.e., urban heat ...

Multifunctional Oxadiazole‐Based Polycatenars: A Pathway to Polar Columnar Phases

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Aromatic core fluorination directs oxadiazole‐based polycatenars into ferroelectric and antiferroelectric columnar phases with supergelation and photo‐responsiveness. ABSTRACT Polar columnar liquid crystals (LCs) offer a promising pathway to nanostructured architectures for next‐generation ferroelectric devices.
