TL;DR: It is proposed that the nanowires are formed by the active surface growth mechanism and that the helicity originates from the random and asymmetrical blocking of nuclei embedded within the floccules of ligand complexes, in the form of either asymmetric binding of ligands or asymmetric diffusion of growth materials through theFloccules.

TL;DR: The Ce6@VNS system showed significant photodynamic therapeutic efficiency on KB cells than free Ce6 and a receptor-mediated inhibition study proved the site-specific delivery of Ce6 in targeted tumor cells.

TL;DR: It is shown that seeded growth can be applied to creating two-dimensional (2D) dendritic Au nanostructures on sample grids, which can be directly characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

TL;DR: World's smallest screws with helical threads are synthesized via mild etching of Ag nanowires, and it is shown that this nanostructure arises not from the transformation of the initial lattice, but the result of a unique etching mode.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Ag can be deposited back onto the coiled Ag-PTh composite to form metallic spirals, a new means to induce motion and a novel perspective in the ordered occurrence of certain defects.
