Explore our latest Nanoscale themed collection on 'Nanomedicines for crossing biological barriers' guest edited by Lucie Sancey, Ariane Boudier, Elise LEPELTIER, Marie-Pierre Rols, Jeanne Chain Leblond and Nguyen T. K. Thanh, MAE FRSC FAPS FInstP FRSB FIMMM 💊 👉https://lnkd.in/efQFewxn This themed collection aligns with the SFNano 2024 workshop in which new approaches for nanomedicine in imaging, diagnostics and theranostics were presented. Nanotechnologies have opened very promising opportunities to treat diseases with the design of nanomaterials able to cross the different biological barriers encountered and to interact specifically with diseased tissues. Whatever the administration route, numerous biological, physical and chemical barriers have to be overcome: endothelium, macrophages, endosome, mucus, surfactants, pH, enzymes etc. In nanomedicine, the goal is to develop multimodal nanoplatforms to speed up targeted diagnosis, to increase its sensitivity, reliability and specificity for a better management of diseases (patient’s care) and to treat them in a targeted and personalized manner. This collection therefore acts as a platform to present some of the latest discoveries concerning nanomedicines that need to cross biological barriers. The guest editors have written an Editorial to introduce the collection and we encourage you to read it here 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eg8v4c3H Discover the articles in the themed collection for free until 30 November 2025 📅

Hard to fabricate and predict the vibrant plasmonic modes of EGaIn liquid metal nanoparticles? Now a comprehensive simulation study revealed shape-dependent surface plasmon resonances of EGaIn in the broad UV to NIR wavelength range, shedding new light on future "liquid" plasmonic materials design. The results reported by Sina Jamalzadegan, Mohammadreza Zare, Micah J. Dickens, Florian Schenk, Alireza Velayati, Maksym Yarema, Michael D. Dickey and Qingshan Wei can be used to guide the future synthesis of EGaIn nanoparticles with desired optical properties that are useful for various optical biosensing applications.

Featured on the outside back cover of Nanoscale Issue 39: Realistic MXene flakes engineered via all-electron DFT and a top-down approach. Néstor García-Romeral, Ángel Morales-García, Francesc Viñes and Francesc Illas focus on atomic-scale features to enable precise property control and materials design. 🔬 Check out the work here 👽👇: https://lnkd.in/enkJp9cu

The inside front cover for Nanoscale Issue 39 depicts the computational design of donor–acceptor stacked polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as photocatalytic sites in carbon dots. Tomáš Hrivnák, Martin Pykal, Andrey L. Rogach, Michal Otyepka and Miroslav Medveď report an approach that not only offers a practical design route for carbon dot-like photocatalysts but also provides the fundamental understanding needed to engineer tuneable, efficient, and sustainable donor–acceptor photocatalytic systems.

Decoupling spins at surfaces to enable molecular-qubit architectures, featured on the inside front cover of Nanoscale Issue 38. The cover illustrates that, on Cu(111), the YPc₂’s spin is quenched by molecule–metal hybridization, whereas a few ZnPc layers decouple the molecule and restore the S = 1/2 radical. Soyoung Oh, Franklin H. Cho, We-hyo Soe, Jisoo Yu, Hong Thi Bui, Lukas Spree, Caroline Hommel, Won-Jun Jang, Soo-Hyon Phark, Luciano Colazzo, Christoph Wolf and Fabio Donati from Center for Quantum Nanoscience present results that suggest the potential of YPc2/ZnPc heterostructures as a stable and effective molecular spin qubit platform and validate the possibility of integrating this molecular spin qubit candidate in future quantum logic devices.
