Self-Assembly of Semiconducting Polymer Amphiphiles for In Vivo Photoacoustic Imaging by Xie, Chen, Zhen, Xu, Lei, Qunli, Ni, Ran, Pu, Kanyi

“…The small size and structurally stable nanostructure, in conjunction with a dense PEG shell, allow SPAs to passively target tumors of living mice after systemic administration, permitting both PA and fluorescence imaging of the tumors at signals that are ≈1.5-fold higher than that of liver. This study thus not only provides the first generation of amphiphilic optically active polymers for PA imaging, but also highlights the molecular guidelines for the development of organic NIR imaging nanomaterials.…”

Structures of Mycobacterium smegmatis 70S ribosomes in complex with HPF, tmRNA, and P-tRNA by Mishra, Satabdi, Ahmed, Tofayel, Tyagi, Anu, Shi, Jian, Bhushan, Shashi

“…Here, we present single particle cryo-EM reconstructions of the Mycobacterium smegmatis 70S ribosomes in the hibernating state (with HPF), trans-translating state (with tmRNA), and the P/P state (with P-tRNA) resolved to 4.1, 12.5, and 3.4 Å, respectively. A comparison of the P/P state with the hibernating state provides possible functional insights about the Mycobacteria-specific helix H54a rRNA segment. …”

Integrated in-memory sensor and computing of artificial vision system based on reversible bonding transition-induced nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs) by Yu, Tianqi, Li, Jie, Lei, Wei, Shafe, Suhaidi, Mohtar, Mohd Nazim, Jindapetch, Nattha, van Dommelen, Paphavee, Zhao, Zhiwei

“…In contrast, nitrogen-doped CQDs (N-CQDs)-based optoelectronic memristors can be driven with smaller programming voltages (−0.6 to 0.7 V) and exhibit lower powers (78 nW/0.29 µW). The physical mechanism can be attributed to the reversible transition between C–N and C=N with lower binding energy induced by the electric field and the generation of photogenerated carriers by ultraviolet light irradiation, which adjusts the conductivity of the initial N-CQDs to implement resistance switching. …”
