Bacterial discrimination is crucial for accurate microbiological diagnosis and timely antibiotic treatment. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is an ideal technique due to its non-invasive, label-free molecular sensing capabilities. By analyzing bacterial supernatants, containing various purine derivatives, SERS can differentiate bacterial species based on their unique spectral distributions. However, the same bacterial species with different antibiotic resistance may secrete similar purine derivatives, differing only slightly in composition. Furthermore, each purine derivative may have a different molecular affinity to the SERS substrate, making it difficult to distinguish the exact molecular ratio. To improve SERS-based bacterial discrimination, we propose an air-liquid microfluidics-integrated SERS system (ALM-SERS) that selectively adsorbs and detects bacterial secretions. By taking features of precise microdroplet manipulation and contact area from microfluidics and features of selective molecular adsorption and fingerprints characterization from the SERS technique, we successfully perform a "sequential molecular adsorption" strategy to address the signal interference of complicated molecular mixtures in existing SERS methods. As a proof of concept, we first evaluate the molecular affinity of purine derivatives and then demonstrate the competitive analyte adsorption using adenine/cytosine and hypoxanthine/uracil sample mixtures. Finally, we tested six bacterial supernatants, including two Gram types and four strains with identical taxonomy but differing antibiotic resistance. Another six clinically isolated bacterial samples with different antibiotic resistance were also applied. Our results showed that a successful bacterial discrimination between similar species was not possible using a single SERS spectrum. In summary, the ALM-SERS system offers a powerful approach for bacterial discrimination, even when spectral differences are subtle. Beyond microb

To build in vitro tissues for therapeutic applications, it is essential to replicate the spatial distribution of cells that occurs during morphogenesis in vivo. However, it remains technically challenging to simultaneously regulate the geometric alignment and aggregation of cells during tissue fabrication. Here, we introduce the acoustofluidic bioassembly induced morphogenesis, which is the combination of precise arrangement of cells by the mechanical forces produced by acoustofluidic cues, and the morphological and functional changes of cells in the following in vitro and in vivo cultures. The acoustofluidic bioassembly can be used to create tissues with regulated nano-, micro-, and macro-structures. We demonstrate that the neuromuscular tissue fabricated with the acoustofluidic bioassembly exhibits enhanced contraction dynamics, electrophysiology, and therapeutic efficacy. The potential of the acoustofluidic bioassembly as an in situ application is demonstrated by fabricating artificial tissues at the defect sites of living tissues. The acoustofluidic bioassembly induced morphogenesis can provide a pioneering platform to fabricate tissues for biomedical applications. © The Author(s) 2025.

In terms of energy efficiency and computational speed, neuromorphic electronics based on nonvolatile memory devices are expected to be one of most promising hardware candidates for future artificial intelligence (AI). However, catastrophic forgetting, networks rapidly overwriting previously learned weights when learning new tasks, remains a pivotal obstacle in either digital or analog AI chips for unleashing the true power of brainlike computing. To address catastrophic forgetting in the context of online memory storage, a complex synapse model (the Benna-Fusi model) was proposed recently [M. K. Benna and S. Fusi, Nat. Neurosci. 19, 1697 (2016)], the synaptic weight and internal variables of which evolve following diffusion dynamics. In this work, by designing a proton transistor with a series of charge-diffusion-controlled storage components, we have experimentally realized the Benna-Fusi artificial complex synapse. Memory consolidation from coupled storage components is revealed by both numerical simulations and experimental observations. Different memory timescales for the complex synapse are engineered by the diffusion length of charge carriers and the capacity and number of coupled storage components. The advantages of the demonstrated complex synapse for both memory capacity and memory consolidation are revealed by neural network simulations of face-familiarity detection. Our experimental realization of the complex synapse suggests a promising approach to enhance memory capacity and to enable continual learning.

The facile integration and stability of Si-based photoelectrode architectures are the remaining challenges in the photoelectrochemical (PEC) conversion of CO2 to fuels. In this work, the single-atomic-layer graphene is used as a functional bridging layer to integrate both Si photocathodes and photoanodes, which enable the direct electrodeposition of metal-based electrocatalysts (Cu, Ag and InSn alloys) and a semiconductor-based catalyst (NiFe-LDH) on the graphene/Si heterojunction electrodes for PEC CO2 reduction and O2 evolution reaction, respectively. Photoelectrochemical X-ray absorption spectroscopy results show that the electrodeposited catalysts on the graphene layer are active and leads to efficient transport of photogenerated electrons from Si junctions to electrocatalysts. We demonstrate a PEC device with a full-cell configuration consisting of InSn/graphene/Si heterojunction photocathode and NiFe-LDH/graphene/Si heterojunction photoanode, exhibiting a reduced photovoltage of ~1080 mV compared to the electrochemical counterparts. A self-powered overall PEC CO2 reduction with a promising solar-to-fuel conversion efficiency of 3.2% can be obtained by integrating the graphene/Si heterojunction photocathode and photoanode with a Si photovoltaic. By combining the inherent chemical inertness of graphene with its role as an atomic bridging layer, the facile integration of Si photoelectrodes with various catalysts presents a promising platform for stable and efficient solar-to-fuel conversion. © 2025, The Authors.

In nature, organisms adapt to environmental changes through training to learn new abilities, offering valuable insights for developing intelligent materials. However, replicating this “adaptive learning” in synthetic materials presents a significant challenge. This study introduces a feasible approach to train liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) by integrating a mechanophore tetraarylsuccinonitrile into their main chain, addressing the challenge of enabling synthetic materials to exchange substances with their environment. Inspired by biological training, the LCEs can self-strengthen and acquire new functionalities through mechanical stress-induced radical polymerization. The research not only enhances the mechanical performance of LCEs, but also endows them with the ability to learn properties such as flexibility, light responsiveness, and fluorescence. These advancements are crucial for overcoming the limitations of current materials, paving the way for the creation of advanced intelligent soft materials with autonomous self-improvement, akin to the adaptive skills of living organisms.

While anion exchange membrane water electrolyzers (AEMWEs) have achieved significant performance advances in recent decades, overpotentials remain high relative to their proton exchange membrane water electrolyzer (PEMWE) counterparts, requiring AEMWE-specific catalyst layer design strategies to further advance this technology. In this work, the role of the ionomer in catalyst layer structure and quality, catalyst layer stability, and ion conduction for supporting electrolyte-fed AEMWEs is assessed for catalyst layers composed of NiFeO and PiperION TP85 from Versogen at variable ionomer contents (0-30 wt %) for tests up to 200 h. The results reveal that, for supporting electrolyte-fed AEM devices, the ionomer is not required for ion conduction through the catalyst layer. Instead, the ionomer is found to play a critical role in catalyst layer structure and stability, where intermediate ionomer contents lead to the lowest overpotentials, highest effective surface areas, and lowest catalyst layer resistances. Catalyst layer stability is found to be a function of both catalyst adhesion and ionomer loss. These results show that an ionomer may be selected which is not of the same chemistry as the anion exchange membrane, mitigating ionomer stability concerns throughout the catalyst layer and offering a pathway towards highly active and stable AEMWEs.

Membrane technology has become a promising solution for a wide range of separation processes, including wastewater treatment, solvent recovery, and oil–water separation, due to its low energy consumption, cost-effectiveness, and minimal space needs. However, membrane damage caused by suspended pollutants or improper handling remains a challenge, often leading to decreased filtration capability and the need for replacement of membrane modules. Self-repairing membranes have emerged as a new solution, with various materials demonstrating autonomous healing properties through dynamic bonds such as hydrogen bonds or boronic ester bonds. However, many of these self-repairing membranes suffer from excessive swelling in water, compromising their mechanical stability. Herein, we report a self-repairing and low-swelling polymer network based on dopamine acrylamide (DA) and n-butyl acrylate (BA), crosslinked with p-phenylenediboronic acid (PDBA). The boronic ester bond formation between catechol and boronic acid groups confers self-healing properties to the polymer, while the hydrophobic nature of BA minimizes swelling in water. The polymer exhibits a low swelling ratio of 2.1% after 7 days of submersion in water. A cellulose-based filter paper coated with the polymer demonstrated that it can recover its water flux up to 91% after repairing damage. Lastly, an ultrafiltration polyethersulfone (PES)-based filter coated with the polymer demonstrated that it recovers its solute rejection capability after repairing damage. © 2025 The Author(s)

We present a comprehensive study on the third-order nonlinear optical properties of silver nanocubes (Ag-NCs) and Ag@Au hollow bimetallic nanostructures in aqueous dispersions. The Ag@Au bimetallic nanostructures were synthesized by galvanic replacement of Ag-NCs with gold, generating nanoboxes with surface plasmon resonance (SPR) tunability. Using the femtosecond Z-scan technique (1040 nm, 357 fs) across laser intensities from 99.7 to 279 GW/cm², we identified negative nonlinear refraction in both Ag-NCs and Ag@Au nanoboxes, attributed to hot electron generation. Saturable absorption (SA) was observed only in Ag@Au nanoboxes, distinguishing their potential for nonlinear photonic applications. These findings highlight the impact of morphology and composition on nonlinear refraction and absorption, positioning Ag@Au hollow nanostructures as promising candidates for active media in advanced photonic devices.

The natural extracellular matrix (ECM) is viscoelastic and fibrous, which are crucial characteristics for controlling cellular responses. In contrast, synthetic gels are mostly elastic and less effective at promoting mechanotransduction. Thus, the design of gels that provide mechanical and biochemical cues for tissue regeneration needs to be explored. In this study, we aimed to develop viscoelastic gels functionalized with decellularized ECM (dECM) microparticles for tissue regeneration. The incorporation of dECM microparticles into gels improved not only the tissue adhesive properties of the gels but also their viscoelasticity. The modulation of the mechanical properties of the gels elicited cell adhesion and spreading. Moreover, the functionalization of viscoelastic gels with dECM microparticles promoted tissue regeneration in volumetric muscle-loss models. This approach would be a powerful method because functional scaffolds with sufficient mechanical and biological properties facilitate tissue regeneration. © 2025 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
