Reviewed by Lexie CornerA recent article in Nature Communications describes an electrochemical method for producing few-layer halogenated MXenes with preserved surface chemistry. These MXenes show high electrical conductivity and stability, which supports their use in wear-resistant tribovoltaic nanogenerators. The study also contributes to a better understanding of MXenes’ physical properties and potential applications in electronic and energy devices.

Reviewed by Lexie CornerA recent article in Nature Communications describes a nanovaccine platform designed to support the development of personalized cancer vaccines. This approach uses tumor cell membranes enriched with neoantigens to improve antigen presentation. The vaccine, called the Antigen-Enriched Cell Membrane (AECM) nanovaccine, aims to address limitations of current strategies, including low immunogenicity, inefficient antigen presentation, and complex manufacturing processes.
