3D Knitted Interfacial Solar Steam Generator for High‐Efficiency and Long‐Term Seawater Desalination

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
The hydrophobic bottom provides buoyancy to keep the evaporator floating, and directional vertical spacer yarn supplies sufficient water. The knitted photothermal layer efficiently converts solar energy via multiple light reflections. The Marangoni effect induced by edge yarn accelerates the backflow of salt ions, preventing salt accumulation in the ...

An Ocular Surface‐Targeting Nucleic Acid Hydrogel for Efficient Dry Eye Disease Treatment

Exploration, EarlyView.
A self‐assembled nucleic acid hydrogel modified with mucin‐1 (MUC1) aptamer is developed, which can actively target the mucin layer on the ocular surface and significantly extend its retention time after distillation. Inside the hydrogel, therapeutic siRNA is embedded and can effectively silence the inflammation gene expression, subsequently restoring ...
