Abstract Achieving high stability and excellent optical performance in complex environments is crucial for practical applications of magnetically responsive photonic crystals (MRPCs). It, however, remains a great challenge.

As tannic acid (TA) functions as linker robustly bind polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) chains Fe surfaces, the maintain nearly constant diffraction wavelength reflectance up years. The strong coordination between TA 3+ inhibits crystal growth, ensuring small primary size superparamagnetism @TA‐PVP CNCs.

The conception, synthesis, and invention of a nanostructure, now known as the spherical nucleic acid, or SNA, in 1996 marked advent new field chemistry. Over past three decades, SNA its analogous anisotropic equivalents have provided an avenue for us to think about some most fundamental concepts chemistry ways led technologies that are significantly impacting fields from medicine materials science. A prime example is colloidal crystal engineering with DNA, framework using SNAs related structures synthesize programmable matter. Herein, we document evolution this framework, which was initially inspired by nature, describe how it allows researchers chart paths move beyond it, matter real-world significance envisioned created.

Colloidal supraparticles integrated with multicomponent primary particles come emerging or synergetic functionalities. However, achieving the functional customization of remains a great challenge because limited options building blocks tailorability and extensibility. Herein, we developed universal approach to construct customizable desired properties from molecular obtained by covalent conjugation catechol groups series orthogonal groups. These catechol-terminated can assemble into driven various intermolecular interactions (i.e. metal-organic coordination, host-guest, hydrophobic interactions), then further governed catechol-mediated interfacial interactions. Our strategy enables formation diverse functionalities, such as dual-pH responsiveness, light-controllable permeability, non-invasive fluorescence labeling living cells. The ease which these be fabricated, ability tailor their chemical physical through choice metals used, should enable variety applications.

Peripheral nerve injuries are challenging to repair clinically due their limited regenerative capacity. Herein, a novel poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(4‐styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) composited conductive silk conduit with ultrasound (US)‐triggered active release for peripheral regeneration is presented. The composed of fibroin inverse opal tubular scaffolds and the secondary hydrogel filler that contains thermosensitive material (poly( N ‐isopropylacrylamide), PNIPAM), PEDOT:PSS, growth factor (NGF). Benefiting from integration these functional materials factors, conduits show excellent biocompatibility, flexibility, conductivity, bioactivity. In particular, owing thermal effect US temperature responsiveness PNIPAM, filling undergoes volume shrinkage upon triggering, allowing responsive NGF release. Besides, electrical conductivity PEDOT:PSS has been affirmed promote neuron axon outgrowth. Through in vivo experiments, synergistic US‐triggered delivery on accelerating injured demonstrated. These results reveal practical value proposed intelligent preclinical studies.
