Article Abstract
Measuring quantitative and accurate friction force at the nanoscale by means of atomic force microscopy is not straightforward. Numerous lateral force calibration methods have been proposed in the last decades. The most popular one is the wedge method that requires a specific calibration sample having areas that present constant slope and friction coefficient. In this paper, we propose to revisit the wedge method by using an original, cheap, and easy-to-make standard, which consists of a V-shaped scratch made by a Berkovich nanoindenter tip on a fused silica substrate. We show that the scratch has two large opposite facets characterized by the same moderate and constant friction coefficient and slope. This allows simplification of the data processing and a much more reliable and accurate lateral force microscopy calibration.

Background: Tumor heterogeneity and antigen escape are mechanisms of resistance to chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy, especially in solid tumors. Targeting multiple antigens with a unique CAR construct could be a strategy for a better tumor control than monospecific CAR-T cells on heterogeneous models. To overcome tumor heterogeneity, we targeted mesothelin (meso) and Mucin 16 (MUC16), two antigens commonly expressed in solid tumors, using a tandem CAR design.

Within the bone microenvironment, the intricate interplay and regulation among matrix components form a complex network. Disentangling this network is crucial for uncovering potential therapeutic targets in bone pathology. Osteocalcin (OCN), the most abundant non-collagenous bone protein, is an essential node within this network.

Ion adsorption at the solid-liquid interface of two-dimensional (2D) materials is ubiquitous and plays a pivotal role in interfacial physicochemical interactions. In practical applications, 2D materials are typically supported on solid substrates. Understanding the role of the supporting substrate is therefore critical for advancing our fundamental knowledge of interfacial interactions and downstream application success.

Archimedean spirals are architectural motifs that are found in nature. The facial asymmetry of amphiphilic molecules or macromolecules has been a key parameter in the preparation of these well-organized two-dimensional nanostructures in the laboratory. This facial asymmetry is also present in the helical grooves of chiral helical substituted poly(phenylacetylene)s (PPAs) and poly(diphenylacetylene)s (PDPAs), making them excellent candidates for self-assembly into 2D Archimedean nanospirals or nanotoroids.

A crack-free and residue-free transfer technique for large-area, atomically-thin 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) such as MoS and WS is critical for their integration into next-generation electronic devices, either as channel materials replacing silicon or as back-end-of-line (BEOL) components in 3D-integrated nano-systems on CMOS platforms. However, cracks are frequently observed during the debonding of TMDCs from their growth substrates, and polymer or metal residues are often left behind after the removal of adhesive support layers wet etching. These issues stem from excessive angular strain accumulated during debonding and the incomplete removal of support layers due to their low solubility.
