Science is entering a new era—the fifth paradigm—that is being heralded as the main character of knowledge integrating into different fields to intelligence-driven work in the computational community based on the omnipresence of machine learning systems. Here, we vividly illuminate the nature of the fifth paradigm by a typical platform case specifically designed for catalytic materials constructed on the Tianhe-1 supercomputer system, aiming to promote the cultivation of the fifth paradigm in other fields. This fifth paradigm platform mainly encompasses automatic model construction (raw data extraction), automatic fingerprint construction (neural network feature selection), and repeated iterations concatenated by the interdisciplinary knowledge ("volcano plot"). Along with the dissection is the performance evaluation of the architecture implemented in iterations. Through the discussion, the intelligence-driven platform of the fifth paradigm can greatly simplify and improve the extremely cumbersome and challenging work in the research, and realize the mutual feedback between numerical calculations and machine learning by compensating for the lack of samples in machine learning and replacing some numerical calculations caused by insufficient computing resources to accelerate the exploration process. It remains a challenging of the synergy of interdisciplinary experts and the dramatic rise in demand for on-the-fly data in data-driven disciplines. We believe that a glimpse of the fifth paradigm platform can pave the way for its application in other fields.

A novel intestinal-targeted θ-shaped capsule with a pumping effect for the controlled release of hydrophobic drugs is successfully developed. The proposed capsule is composed of a Ca-alginate–chitosan/protamine/silica (ACPSi) composite shell and two chambers forming an θ-shape (θ-ACPSi), which respectively encapsulate drugs and booster agents. Enteric hydroxypropyl methylcellulose phthalate (HPMCP) microspheres are embedded into the drug chamber shell. The θ-ACPSi composite shell offers improved protection for the encapsulated drug in the stomach environment and excellent intestinal-targeted drug release. Using indomethacin as the model drug and polyacrylic acid (PAA) as the booster agent, both the opening of "microchannels" in the drug chamber and the swelling of PAA in the booster chamber increase the release rate of high-concentration indomethacin and ensure a constant release of indomethacin in the small intestine. In the stomach (pH 2.5), less than 1% of the indomethacin is released. However, when the θ-ACPSi capsules enter the small intestine (pH 6.8), the HPMCP microspheres in the drug chamber shell dissolve to open the "microchannels," while the PAA swells to provide pumping impetus. As a result, more than 60% of the indomethacin is released at a constant speed in the small intestine. The proposed θ-ACPSi capsules provide a potential and novel model for developing responsive pumping controlled-release systems and intestinal-targeted drug delivery systems.

Microalgae are a group of microscopic eukaryotic organisms that can transform carbon dioxide into diverse bioactive compounds through photosynthesis using chlorophyll a. Over the past decade, biohybrid materials comprising live microalgae and other biocompatible components have exhibited tremendous potential in solving many medical challenges, such as oncotherapy, tissue reconstruction, and drug delivery. Microalgae immobilized within conventional biomaterials can maintain their photosynthetic activity for an extended period of time, thereby providing local oxygen and working as biocompatible interfacing materials for regulating cell activities. The motility of microalgae has also inspired the development of biohybrid microrobots, in which drug molecules can be bound to the surface of microalgae via noncovalent adsorption and delivered to the target area through precisely controlled locomotion. Moreover, the autofluorescence, phototaxis, and biomass production of microalgae can be integrated into the design of novel biohybrid materials with versatile functions. Furthermore, through appropriate genetic manipulation, engineered microalgae can endow biohybrid materials with novel properties, such as specific cell-targeting capability and the local release of recombinant proteins from algae cells—technologies that show promise for promoting and diversifying the clinical use of microalgae-based biohybrid materials (MBBMs) in several fields of biomedicine. Herein, we summarize the fabrication, physiology, and locomotion ability of MBBMs; we then review typical and recent reports on the use of MBBMs in the biomedical field; finally, we provide critical discussions on the challenges and future perspectives of MBBMs.

The adhesive behavior of one-dimensional (1D) materials, such as nanotubes and nanowires, plays a decisive role in the effective fabrication, functionality, and reliability of novel devices that integrate 1D components, as well as in biomimetic adhesives based on 1D arrays. This review compiles and critically evaluates recent experimental techniques that aim to characterize the adhesion behavior of interfaces formed by 1D materials, including when such materials are brought into contact with a substrate or adjacent 1D materials. The conformation of 1D material to surfaces and the associated occurrence of multi-asperity contact are discussed, and the coupling of adhesion and friction during interfacial attachment and detachment is explored. The use of 1D materials as reinforcement agents in nanocomposites and the associated interfacial characterization techniques are considered. The potential for the environmental conditions that exist during sample preparation and adhesion testing to influence 1D interfacial interactions and, ultimately, to alter the adhesion behavior of a 1D material is scrutinized. Finally, a brief perspective is provided on ongoing challenges and future directions, which include the methodical investigation of the testing environment and the alteration of adhesion through surface modification.

This paper reports a method to measure the mechanical properties of a single cell using a microfluidic chip with integrated force sensing and a liquid exchange function. A single cell is manipulated and positioned between a pushing probe and a force sensor probe using optical tweezers. These two on-chip probes were designed to capture and deform the cells. The single cell is deformed by moving the pushing probe, which is driven by an external force. The liquid–liquid interface is formed between the probes by laminar flow to change the extracellular environment. The position of the interface is shifted by controlling the injection pressure. Two positive pressures and one negative pressure are adjusted to balance the diffusion and perturbation of the flow. The mechanical properties of a single Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 were measured in different osmotic concentration environments in the microfluidic chip. The liquid exchange was achieved in approximately 0.3–0.7 s, and the dynamic deformation of a single cell was revealed simultaneously. Measurements of two Young’s modulus values under alterable osmotic concentrations and the dynamic response of a single cell in osmotic shock can be collected within 30 s. Dynamic deformations of wild-type (WT) and mutant Synechocystis cells were investigated to reveal the functional mechanism of mechanosensitive (MS) channels. This system provides a novel method for monitoring the real-time mechanical dynamics of a single intact cell in response to rapid external osmotic changes; thus, it opens up novel opportunities for characterizing the accurate physiological function of MS channels in cells.

DNA is considered to be not only a carrier of the genetic information of life but also a highly programmable and self-assembled nanomaterial. Different DNA structures are related to their biological and chemical functions. Hence, understanding the physical and chemical properties of various DNA structures is of great importance in biology and nanochemistry. However, the bulk assay ignores the heterogeneity of DNA structures in solution. Single-molecule methods are powerful tools for observing the behavior of individual molecules and probing the high heterogeneity of free energy states. In this review, we introduce single-molecule methods, including single-molecule detection and manipulation methods, and discuss how these methods can be conducive to measuring the molecular properties of single-/double-stranded DNA (ss/dsDNA), DNA higher-order structures, and DNA nanostructures. We conclude by providing a new perspective on the combination of DNA nanotechnology and single-molecule methods to understand the biophysical properties of DNA and other bio-matter and soft matter.

磁驱动方法具有无线连接和高安全性的特点,是一种常见的微机器人驱动技术,适用于微流体操作以及医疗微机器人导航等应用。然而,由于微型机器人或被驱动的目标暴露在同一片磁场环境中的,使得选择性地控制单个机器人或多个目标中的某一部分变得具有挑战性。本文回顾了磁场驱动的多微型机器人或多关节微型机器人系统的选择性和独立控制方法的最新进展。 这些选择性和独立的控制方法将全局磁场解码为特定配置,用于多个微型机器人的独立驱动。这些方法包括将机器人设计成具有与众不同的物理属性或者在工作空间中的不同位置产生性质各异的磁场。对选定目标的独立控制使多个微型机器人能够有效协作以完成更复杂的操作。在这篇综述中,我们提供了一个独特的视角来解释如何在磁场中操纵单个微型机器人以在小尺度机器人中实现高水平的群体智能,这有助于加速微型机器人技术在现实生活中应用的转化和发展。
