Confinement-Tailored High-Concentration Electrolytes in Metal-Organic Frameworks for Durable Lithium-Metal Batteries.

High-concentration electrolytes (HCEs) face inherent challenges such as high viscosity and diminished ionic conductivity caused by the formation of three-dimensional (3D) anion networks, which limit their practical applications. In this study, it is demonstrated that encapsulating HCEs within metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) effectively disrupts these 3-D networks, resulting in significantly enhanced ionic conductivity. Raman spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations reveal a significant reduction in aggregates (AGGs)-state anion within MOF-confined electrolytes, confirming the reconstruction of the solvation environment.

The X-Age Project to construct a Chinese aging clock.

The global surge in the population of people 60 years and older, including that in China, challenges healthcare systems with rising age-related diseases. To address this demographic change, the Aging Biomarker Consortium (ABC) has launched the X-Age Project to develop a comprehensive aging evaluation system tailored to the Chinese population. Our goal is to identify robust biomarkers and construct composite aging clocks that capture biological age, defined as an individual's physiological and molecular state, across diverse Chinese cohorts.

Recent Advances of Photothermal Materials for Biomedical Applications.

With the rapid development of precision medicine and the continuous evolution of smart wearable devices, photothermal materials (PTMs) are experiencing a tremendous opportunity for growth. PTMs can efficiently convert light energy into heat to achieve localized thermal therapy for specific cells or tissues, offering advantages of minimal invasiveness, high selectivity, and precise targeting. Furthermore, PTMs can serve as molecular imaging probes and smart drug carriers, integrating multiple functions such as bioimaging and drug delivery to realize the visualization and controlled release of therapeutic processes.
