CRISPR-based Genome Editing via Non-Viral Delivery
This non-viral CRISPR-Cas9 delivery vector is ten times as effective at genome modification as the standard plasmid transfection techniques, down-regulating Plk1 expression over 70% to inhibit tumor growth.
Perovskite Stability Gets a 2D Solution
Perovskite structures suffer from moisture and thermal stability issues which prevent their commercial use. This promising solution using organic cations leads to a record high PCE for 2D perovskite devices.
Hot Reviews from the Advanced Materials Interfaces Hall of Fame
Topical reviews from the Advanced Materials Interfaces Hall of Fame series are among the most popular articles on offer to our readership – and they’re free to read for a limited time.
Selective Protein Immobilization without Purification
Protein immobilization directly from cell lysates is demonstrated in a new process that avoids expensive purification steps but expertly maintains target protein selectivity.
Knittable Zinc–Air Batteries
The dissolution problem for manganese dioxide-based cathodes in zinc-based batteries has been solved, and fully knittable zinc–air batteries have been designed that can be incorporated into regular clothing to power portable devices.
Skin-Mounted Microfluidics Analyze Biomarkers in Sweat
A wearable soft microfluidic device with sequentially filling reservoirs can collect, store, and analyze sweat in situ from almost any part of the body.
Artificial Intelligence Models New Functional Materials
Artificial intelligence is used to analyze the parameters for creating self-cleaning, superhydrophobic surfaces, and to generate a model for optimizing the experimental conditions.
Printing Wearable Graphene Sensors
Graphene sensors with high-resolution features are produced on flexible tapes for wearable electronics via a simplified drop-cast-and-transfer process.
