Article Abstract
We show that the growth of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) follows the areas of maximum plasmonic field in nanohole arrays (NAs). We thus obtain Ag NP rings not connected to the metallic rim of the nanoholes. The photocatalytic effect resulting from the enhanced E-field of NAs boosts the reaction and is responsible for the site selectivity. The strategy, using plasmonics to control a chemical reaction, can be expanded to organic reactions, for example, synthesis of polypyrrole. After the NA film is removed, ordered ring-shaped Ag NPs are easily obtained, inspiring a facile micropatterning method. Overall, the results reported in this work will contribute to the control of chemical reactions at the nanoscale and are promising to inspire a facile way to pursue patterned chemical reactions.

The coupling between transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) and SrTiO has recently emerged as a fertile platform for discovering interfacial phenomena, where particle interactions, lattice coupling, and dielectric screening give rise to interesting physical effects. These hybrid systems hold significant promise for two-dimensional (2D) electronics, ferroelectric state control, and metastable phase engineering. However, effective modulation of the interfacial electronic structure remains a critical challenge.

Wound healing is a complex, tightly regulated process involving a range of enzymes, growth factors, and cytokines that coordinate cellular activities essential for tissue repair and wound closure. However, in cases of extensive or severe injury, the intrinsic repair mechanisms are often insufficient, underscoring the need for advanced therapeutic strategies to accelerate healing and minimize scar formation. Electrically conductive hydrogels (ECHs), combining the advantageous properties of hydrogels with the physiological and electrochemical characteristics of conductive materials, present a safer and more convenient alternative to traditional electrode-based electrical stimulation (ES) for treating chronic and nonhealing wounds.

Activated B-cell diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (ABC-DLBCL) is an aggressive cancer with poor response to standard chemotherapy. In search of new therapeutic leads, a library of 435 fractions prepared from the Irish marine biorepository was screened against 2 ABC-DLBCL cell lines (TMD8 and OCI-Ly10) and a non-cancerous control cell line (CB33). Active fractions are prioritized based on potency and selectivity.

Structural colors offer distinct advantages over traditional chemical colors (such as pigments and dyes), including high saturation, resistance to fading, and environmental friendliness. However, unlike traditional dyes or pigments that allow for Structural colors offer distinct advantages over traditional chemical colors (such as pigments and dyes), including high saturation, resistance to fading, and environmental friendliness. However, unlike traditional dyes or pigments that allow for arbitrary color adjustments during the coloring process, current structural color surfaces lack flexibility in control, as their colors are difficult to reprocess or adjust once formed.

Presented herein is a protocol for the iron-catalyzed [4 + 1] cycloadditions of -Boc-imines with β-ketosulfoxonum ylides through a succession of nucleophilic additions and intramolecular annulation, giving access to functionalized oxazolidine-2-ones in generally good yields. In contrast to the renown Corey-Chaykovsky reaction via N attack to furnish aziridines, this method afforded oxazolidine-2-ones via an O-nucleophilic attack. Features of this strategy include readily accessible starting materials, sustainable catalyst, post-functionalizations of complex molecules, scalability, and exceptional control over diastereoselectivity.
