Light‐Harvesting Nanomaterials Based on Dyes for Energy Transfer and Amplified Biosensing

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Light harvesting (LH) in plants inspires researchers to develop artificial LH nanomaterials. Here, LH nanomaterials based on organic dyes are reviewed, considering fundamental challenges on aggregation‐caused quenching, excitation energy transfer, and exciton migration length.

Virus Enhanced Microrobots for Biofilm Eradication

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Biofilms resist antimicrobials across medicine, industry, and environments. We present virus‐conjugated microrobots synthesized hydrothermally and magnetically actuated. Their motion and viral specificity enable targeted binding, penetration, and delivery, outperforming bare microrobots.

Copper Stress Response of Antibiotic‐Resistant and Copper‐Tolerant Enterococcus faecium and the Antibacterial Efficacy of Functionalized Copper Surfaces

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study examines how different laser‐patterned copper and brass surfaces, including copper coatings, affect the survival of vancomycin‐resistant Enterococcus faecium. Using microscopy and genome analysis, the results show that copper tolerance varies between strains and can increase after vancomycin exposure.
