TL;DR: Nanocellulose has excellent strength, high Young's modulus, biocompatibility, and tunable self-assembly, thixotropic, and photonic properties, which are essential for the applications of this material.

TL;DR: A hybrid, rattle-like, gold–silica nanoparticle that very efficiently combines therapy and imaging in an animal model and introduces the use of gold quantum dots for imaging and therapeutic applications is presented.

TL;DR: The first electrochromic device constructed from metal organic frameworks (MOFs) is reported, assembled so that the oxidation of one corresponds to the reduction of the other, allowing the two sides of the device to simultaneously change color.

TL;DR: A short overview of hybrid inorganic-organic materials can be found in the European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry (EJIC) as mentioned in this paper, where the authors discuss the future potential of hybrid materials based on some of the most exciting areas of development, such as artificial photosynthetic leaves, metamaterials, molecular machines, theranostics, 3D printing, nuclear waste storage, and the exploration of life's extraordinary evolutionary origins.

TL;DR: The epitaxial growth of nanostructured polycrystalline quartz films on silicon [Si(100)] substrates is reported via the solution deposition and gelation of amorphous silica thin films, followed by thermal treatment.
