Phosphorothioate-Enabled Cas12a Autocatalytic Networkfor Amplification-Free Ultrasensitive Nucleic Acid Detection

Abstract Autocatalytic CRISPR/Cas systems offer a promising route toward amplification-free nucleic acid detection, yet their performance is limited by indiscriminate transcleavage of ssDNA activators and the reliance on structurally complex, thermodynamically unstable DNA archit...

Decoupling Ion–Dipole Interactions via Competitive Coordination for Durable Dendrite-Free Zinc Metal Batteries

Abstract The aqueous zinc metal batteries (AZMBs) are famous for high-safety and high-energy-density, but limited by severe challenges around the Helmholtz plane layer such as the strong ion–dipole interactions between Zn 2+ and H 2 O, resulting in slow desolvation processes and...

Non-elastic membrane dual-actuation liquid lens for continuous focus and zoom

Miniaturization is crucial for technological advancement and innovation. Simplifying systems, reducing device size, and integrating multiple functions remain limiting factors for the miniaturization of optical imaging systems. Liquid lenses offer compact structure, fast response,...
