Flexible physical sensing platforms for wearable electronics, soft robotics, and real-time healthcare monitoring.
Noncanonical RNA‐capping: Discovery, Mechanism, and Physiological Role Debate
A new type of 5′‐RNA cap was discovered, and in contrast to the specialized eukaryotic m7G cap, the novel caps are abundant cellular cofactors like NAD+.
Packaging Moving Particles in Solid Materials
A visible color change occurs when active nanocomposites are heated and re-cooled, which is attributed to the mobility of the nanoparticles embedded inside the material.
Keeping it Cool: Energy-Saving Smart Windows
Scientists fabricate a smart window based on a supramolecular nanocomposite hydrogel film.

Injectable Hydrogel Composite against Heart Attack
Injectable supramolecular hydrogel/microgel composite for controlling the delivery of therapeutic molecules to tissues after injury or disease, including cardiac tissue after myocardial infarction.
The Complex Enzymology Of mRNA Decapping
Single stranded RNAs with a free 5′ monophosphate end are susceptible to rapid degradation. Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) are stabilized by hairpin structures and by “hiding” their 5′ ends within complex protein structures.
