Review: recent developments in 2D MXene-filled bioinspired composites for biomedical applications Abstract Two-dimensional carbide- and nitride-based MXene materials have become some of the most studied materials in interdisciplinary fields due to their superior properties. This review comprehensively discusses recent advances in MXene materials such as bioinspired coating films, scaffolds, and electrochemical activities for use in biomedical fields. MXene consists of multilayer 2D nitride, carbide, or carbonitride flakes with excellent electrical conductivity, large surface area, and good mechanical properties. Bibliometric studies have revealed a sharp increase in the number of publications and citations, having reached 15,831 records as of February 2025. Notably, the number of citations surged from under 20 in 2012 to over 222,000 in 2024. Due to being two-dimensional materials with superior physicochemical and biological properties, MXenes are also being increasingly used in biomedical and engineering applications. They have been reported to be ideal for such biomedical applications as corrosion-resistant biofilms, biocompatibility, low toxicity, drug delivery, and tissue engineering. In addition, MXene-based scaffolds have emerged as a promising material for bone tissue engineering due to their extraordinary mechanical durability, biocompatibility, and adjustable surface properties. By aiding tissue regeneration and preventing infections, MXene scaffolds have also been found to exhibit enhanced drug delivery and antibacterial properties. Recent advances in materials science have focused on creating bioinspired structures with multifunctionality. Taking into account MXenes’ multilayered structures and functional surfaces, unique physicochemical properties have been designed by learning from nature to produce bioinspired materials. This article comprehensively reviews biomedical applications of such 2D MXene materials as bioinspired coating films, scaffolds as biosensors, drug delivery, cancer treatments, and tissue regeneration.

Tuning the d<sub>xy</sub> Orbital Energy Level in 2D Cobalt‐Organic‐Framework via in‐Plane Conjugated Phthalocyanine for Self‐Powered Sensing Abstract Precisely regulating the d orbital energy level of the transition metal center in the 2D conductive metal‐organic framework (2D cMOF) is critical for determining electrons transfer dynamics and enhancing sensing performances. Herein, this is demonstrated that a 2D cobalt‐MOF, decorated with in‐plane π conjugated phthalocyanine (Pc), acts as a highly electrically conductive nanofiller in a cellulose‐based hydrogel, facilitating the creation of an ultrasensitive self‐powered sensing system. The strong conjugation between the π‐orbital of Pc and the d‐orbital of MOF nanosheets raises the d xy orbital energy level, promoting electrons delocalization. As a result, the optimized 2D MOF@Pc‐based conductive hydrogel achieved the highest electrical conductivity of 78 S m −1 due to enhanced electron transfer kinetics. Moreover, as a key component in a triboelectric nanogenerator, supercapacitors, and sensor module, the overall performance of the assembled self‐powered sensing micro‐system is reinforced, yielding a 75% improvement in sensitivity. The coordination effect between Pc, MOF, and the biopolymers matrix also endowed the hydrogel with outstanding anti‐swelling capacity. Additionally, the wearable smart sensor successfully demonstrated its ability to track physiological data and transmit information in underwater. This work presents a progressive strategy for addressing the intrinsic low conductivity of 2D cMOF nanosheets in the sensing field.

Divergent evolution of slip banding in CrCoNi alloys Metallic materials under high stress often exhibit deformation localization, manifesting as slip banding. Over seven decades ago, Frank and Read introduced the well-known model of dislocation multiplication at a source, explaining slip band formation. Here, we reveal two distinct types of slip bands (confined and extended) in compressed CrCoNi alloys through multi-scale testing and modeling from microscopic to atomic scales. The confined slip band, characterized by a thin glide zone, arises from the conventional process of repetitive full dislocation emissions at Frank-Read source. Contrary to the classical model, the extended band stems from slip-induced deactivation of dislocation sources, followed by consequent generation of new sources on adjacent planes, leading to rapid band thickening. Our findings provide insights into atomic-scale collective dislocation motion and microscopic deformation instability in advanced structural materials.

Durability and environmental evaluation of rice husk ash sustainable concrete containing carbon nanotubes The environmental issues in the construction industry have garnered considerable attention in numerous studies. Ecologically sustainable green concrete addresses environmental challenges in the construction industry. This study investigates the impact of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (0-0.20%) in rice husk ash (15%) concrete to replace Portland cement. The mechanical and durability properties of four concrete mixtures were analysed. Adding 0.1% multi-walled carbon nanotubes and 15% rice husk ash yielded satisfactory results, significantly improving durability compared to concrete without multi-walled carbon nanotubes. With the addition of 0.1-0.2% multi-walled carbon nanotubes, the density and elastic modulus increased, the 28-d sorptivity decreased by 4.64-28.76%. The resistance ability of 111-d mass loss and compressive strength loss increased by 50.93-61.71% and 25.28-48.47% under sulphate attack, respectively. The resistance ability of mass loss increased by 3.7-35.97% under acid attack. And 120-d drying shrinkage resistance improved by 3.08-9.23%. The predicted and experimental results were compared using the Sakata, GL 2000, B3, ACI 209, and CEB-FIP models. Sakata and B3 provided the most accurate early-stage and long-term drying shrinkages with variation coefficients of 0.13-0.33 and 0-0.05, respectively. Moreover, the sustainability of rice husk ash concrete containing multi-walled carbon nanotubes was evaluated, and its environmental friendliness was confirmed. Thus, the viability of multi-walled carbon nanotubes in rice husk ash sustainable concrete significantly contributes to sustainable construction.

The Role of Natural Fibers in the Building Industry—The Perspective of Sustainable Development Contemporary construction faces the need to reduce its negative impact on the environment, prompting designers, investors, and contractors to seek more sustainable materials and technologies. One area of dynamic development is the use of natural fibers as an alternative to conventional, often synthetic, building components. Plant- and animal-based fibers, such as hemp, flax, jute, straw, bamboo, and sheep's wool, are characterized by low energy consumption in production, renewability, and biodegradability. Their use is in line with the concept of a circular economy and reduces the carbon footprint of buildings. Natural fibers offer a number of beneficial physical and functional properties, including good thermal and acoustic insulation parameters, as well as hygroscopicity, which allows for the regulation of indoor humidity, improving air quality and comfort of use. In recent years, there has also been a renaissance of traditional building techniques, such as straw construction, often combined with modern engineering standards. Their potential is particularly recognized in green and energy-efficient construction. The article provides an overview of the types of natural fibers available for use in construction and analyzes their technical, environmental, and economic properties. It also draws attention to current regulations, standards, and certifications (e.g., LEED, BREEAM) that promote the popularization of these solutions. In light of the analyzed data, the role of natural fibers as a viable alternative supporting the transformation of the construction sector towards sustainable development is considered.

Ultrahigh Specific Strength by Bayesian Optimization of Carbon Nanolattices Nanoarchitected materials are at the frontier of metamaterial design and have set the benchmark for mechanical performance in several contemporary applications. However, traditional nanoarchitected designs with conventional topologies exhibit poor stress distributions and induce premature nodal failure. Here, using multi-objective Bayesian optimization and two-photon polymerization, optimized carbon nanolattices with an exceptional specific strength of 2.03 MPa m<sup>3</sup> kg<sup>-1</sup> at low densities <215 kg m<sup>-3</sup> are created. Generative design optimization provides experimental improvements in strength and Young's modulus by as much as 118% and 68%, respectively, at equivalent densities with entirely different lattice failure responses. Additionally, the reduction of nanolattice strut diameters to 300 nm produces a unique high-strength carbon with a pyrolysis-induced atomic gradient of 94% sp<sup>2</sup> aromatic carbon and low oxygen impurities. Using multi-focus multi-photon polymerization, a millimeter-scalable metamaterial consisting of 18.75 million lattice cells with nanometer dimensions is demonstrated. Combining Bayesian optimized designs and nanoarchitected pyrolyzed carbon, the optimal nanostructures exhibit the strength of carbon steel at the density of Styrofoam offering unparalleled capabilities in light-weighting, fuel reduction, and contemporary design applications.

Quantitative Label-Free Single-Cell Proteomics on the Orbitrap Astral MS Single-cell proteomics by mass spectrometry (scp-MS) holds the potential to provide unprecedented insights into molecular features directly linked to the cellular phenotype while deconvoluting complex organisms into their basic building blocks. Tailored sample preparation that maximizes the extracted amount of material that is introduced into the mass spectrometer has rapidly propelled the field forward. However, the measured signal is still at the lower edge of detection, approaching the sensitivity boundary of current instrumentation. Here, we investigate the capacity of the enhanced sensitivity of the Orbitrap Astral mass spectrometer to facilitate deeper proteome profiles from low-input to single-cell samples. We carry out a comprehensive data acquisition method survey to pinpoint which parameters provide the most sensitivity. Furthermore, we explore the quantitative accuracy of the obtained measurements to ensure that the obtained abundances are in line with expected ground truth values. We culminate our technical exploration by generating small datasets from two cultured cell lines and a primary bone marrow sample, to showcase obtainable proteome coverage differences from different source materials. Finally, as a proof of concept, we explore protein covariation to showcase how information on known protein complexes is captured inherently in our scp-MS data.

Hydrothermal carbonization synthesis of amorphous carbon nanoparticles (15–150 nm) with fine-tuning of the size, bulk order, and the consequent impact on antioxidant and photothermal properties Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of carbohydrates has been reported as a sustainable and green technique to produce carbonaceous micro- and nano-materials. These materials have been developed for several applications, including catalysis, separation science, metal ion adsorption and nanomedicine. Carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) obtained through HTC are particularly interesting for the latter application since they exhibit photothermal properties when irradiated with near-infrared (NIR) light, act as an antioxidant by scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS), and present good colloidal stability and biocompatibility. However, due to the highly disordered structure, there is still a poor understanding of the mechanism of synthesis of CNPs. Consequently, the modulation of the CNP properties by controlling the synthetic parameters is still a challenge. In this work, a novel and simplified HTC synthetic strategy to obtain non-aggregated glucose derived CNPs in the 15-150 nm size range with precise control of the diameter is presented, together with an advance in the understanding of the reaction mechanism behind the synthesis. Modifications of the synthetic parameters and a post-synthesis hydrothermal process were applied to increase the bulk order of CNPs, resulting in an increase of the photothermal and ROS scavenging activities, without affecting the morphological and colloidal properties of the nanomaterial.

Polymer-modified DNA hydrogels for living mitochondria and nanozyme delivery in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that leads to joint deformities and functional impairments. Traditional treatment approaches, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, and molecular targeted therapies, often fail to simultaneously achieve efficient inflammation relief and cartilage tissue repair. DNA hydrogels, derived from nucleic acid nanotechnology, have demonstrated potential in RA therapy due to their programmability, high biocompatibility, and tunable degradation properties. However, their application is still hindered by challenges including high synthesis costs, immunogenicity risks, and uncontrolled degradation rates. To address these limitations, this study proposes a dual-action strategy involving a polymer-modified DNA hydrogel co-delivering nanozymes and living mitochondria to overcome the constraints of traditional therapies and comprehensively optimize RA treatment outcomes. The incorporation of functionalized polymers significantly reduces synthesis costs and immunogenicity while fine-tuning the degradation rate of the hydrogel, enabling sustained support during bone and cartilage repair. The hydrogel is loaded with Prussian blue nanozymes to scavenge excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the RA microenvironment, alleviating inflammation, and facilitates intracellular delivery of living mitochondria to inhibit ROS production at its source, promoting tissue repair. By integrating endogenous ROS reduction with exogenous ROS clearance, this strategy markedly enhances therapeutic efficacy, offering a novel approach for precise RA treatment and advancing the clinical translation of biomaterials.
