A Metal–Polyphenol Network Coated Nanotheranostic System for Metastatic Tumor Treatments

As a characteristic trait of most tumor types, metastasis is the major cause of the death of patients. In this study, a photothermal agent based on gold nanorod is coated with metal (Gd³⁺)‐organic (polyphenol) network to realize combination therapy for metastatic tumors. This nanotheranostic system significantly enhances antitumor therapeutic effects in vitro and in vivo with the combination of photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemotherapy, also can remarkably prevent the invasion and metastasis due to the presence of polyphenol. After the treatment, an 81% decrease in primary tumor volumes and a 58% decrease in lung metastasis are observed. In addition, the good performance in magnetic resonance imaging, computerized tomography, and photothermal imaging of the nanotheranostic system can realize image‐guided therapy. The multifunctional nanotheranostic system will find a great potential in diagnosis and treatment integration in tumor treatments, and broaden the applications of PTT treatment.     

Walnut-inspired microsized porous silicon/graphene core–shell composites for high-performance lithium-ion battery anodes

Silicon is considered an exceptionally promising alternative to the most commonly used material, graphite, as an anode for next-generation lithium-ion batteries, as it has high energy density owing to its high theoretical capacity and abundant storage. Here, microsized walnut-like porous silicon/reduced graphene oxide (P-Si/rGO) core–shell composites are successfully prepared via in situ reduction followed by a dealloying process. The composites show specific capacities of more than 2,100 mAh·g^?1 at a current density of 1,000 mA·g^?1, 1,600 mAh·g^?1 at 2,000 mA·g^?1, 1,500 mAh·g^?1 at 3,000 mA·g^?1, 1,200 mAh·g^?1 at 4,000 mA·g^?1, and 950 mAh·g^?1 at 5,000 mA·g^?1, and maintain a value of 1,258 mAh·g^?1 after 300 cycles at a current density of 1,000 mA·g^?1. Their excellent rate performance and cycling stability can be attributed to the unique structural design: 1) The graphene shell dramatically improves the conductivity and stabilizes the solid–electrolyte interface layers; 2) the inner porous structure supplies sufficient space for silicon expansion; 3) the nanostructure of silicon can prevent the pulverization resulting from volume expansion stress. Notably, this in situ reduction method can be applied as a universal formula to coat graphene on almost all types of metals and alloys of various sizes, shapes, and compositions without adding any reagents to afford energy storage materials, graphene-based catalytic materials, graphene-enhanced composites, etc.

Predication based immune network for multimodal function optimization

For the problem of indeterminate direction of local search, lacking of efficient regulation mechanism between local search and global search and regenerating new antibodies randomly in the original optimization version of artificial immune network (opt-aiNet), this paper puts forward a novel predication based immune network (PiNet) to solve multimodal function optimization more efficiently, accurately and reliably. The algorithm mimics natural phenomenon in immune system such as clonal selection, affinity maturation, immune network, immune memory and immune predication. The proposed algorithm includes two main features with opt-aiNet. The information of antibodies in continuous generations is utilized to point out the direction of local search and to adjust the balance between local and global search. PiNet also employs memory cells to generate new antibodies with high affinities. Theory analysis and experiments on 10 widely used benchmark problems show that when compared with opt-aiNet method, PiNet algorithm is capable of improving search performance significantly in successful rate, convergence speed, search ability, solution quality and algorithm stability.
