➀ Scientists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Physics have developed a new method called vdW squeezing to produce 2D metals at the angstrom thickness limit;

➁ The technique involves melting and compressing metals under high pressure between two rigid van der Waals anvils;

➂ This method allows for precise control over the thickness of 2D metals at the atomic level, enabling the exploration of unique layer-dependent characteristics.

1. A research team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a dual-functional high-efficiency antimicrobial nanozyme that mimics antimicrobial peptides and enzymes. 2. The nanozyme, Ni-IH-7, demonstrates peroxidase and phospholipase C-like activities and can effectively kill fungi by binding to mannoprotein on Candida albicans. 3. This study introduces a novel method of combining antimicrobial peptides with nanozymes, potentially aiding in the creation of new antimicrobial drugs.

1. Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Beijing Normal University have developed a new non-fullerene acceptor that improves the efficiency of organic solar cells (OSCs) to 20.2%. 2. This material aims to reduce non-radiative energy losses and promote efficient charge generation and transfer, with a structure that minimizes energy loss and charge recombination. 3. The development could contribute to more sustainable and cost-effective solar energy solutions, although it still does not match the efficiencies of silicon-based solar cells.

1. A research team from FJIRSM, CAS, led by Prof. Chen Xueyuan, developed noninvasive phototheranostics for Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm-induced pulmonary infection in mice. 2. The team created novel Aly-NaNdF4 nanohybrids with NIR-II luminescence and excellent photothermal conversion efficiency. 3. These nanohybrids demonstrated strong biofilm eradication and were metabolized in the liver and spleen, avoiding long-term toxicity.
