Abstract
Ultra-high-field (UHF) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) stands as a pivotal cornerstone in biomedical imaging, yet the challenge of false imaging persists, constraining its full potential. Despite the development of dual-mode contrast agents improving conventional MRI, their effectiveness in UHF remains suboptimal due to the high magnetic moment, resulting in diminished T1 relaxivity and excessively enhanced T2 relaxivity. Herein, we report a DNA-mediated magnetic-dimer assembly (DMA) of iron oxide nanoparticles that harnesses UHF-tailored nanomagnetism for fault-free UHF-MRI. DMA exhibits a dually enhanced longitudinal relaxivity of 4.42 mM-1·s-1 and transverse relaxivity of 26.23 mM-1·s-1 at 9 T, demonstrating a typical T1-T2 dual-mode UHF-MRI contrast agent. Importantly, DMA leverages T1-T2 dual-modality image fusion to achieve artifact-free breast cancer visualization, effectively filtering interference from hundred-micrometer-level false-positive signals with unprecedented precision. The UHF-tailored T1-T2 dual-mode DMA contrast agents hold promise for elevating the accuracy of MR imaging in disease diagnosis.

Abstract
Herein, A novel gold-silver alloy nanobox (AuAgNB)@SiO2-gold nanosphere (AuNP) nanoassembly based on core-shell-satellite structure is fabricated and applied to the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection of S100 calcium-binding protein B protein (S100B). It contains an anisotropic hollow porous AuAgNB core with rough surface, an ultrathin silica interlayer labeled with reporter molecules, and AuNP satellites. The nanoassemblies were systematically optimized by tuning the reporter molecules concentration, silica layer thickness, AuAgNB size, and the size and number of AuNP satellite size. Remarkably, AuNP satellites are adjacent to AuAgNB@SiO2, developing AuAg-SiO2-Au heterogeneous interface. With the strong plasmon coupling between AuAgNB and AuNP satellites, chemical enhancement from heterogeneous interface, and the tip "hot spots" of AuAgNB, the SERS activity of the nanoassemblies was multiply enhanced. Additionally, the stability of nanostructure and Raman signal was significantly improved by the silica interlayer and AuNP satellites. Eventually, the nanoassemblies were applied for S100B detection. It demonstrated satisfactory sensitivity and reproducibility with a wide detection range of 10 fg/mL-10 ng/mL and a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.7 fg/mL. This work based on the AuAgNB@SiO2-AuNP nanoassemblies with multiple SERS enhancements and favorable stability demonstrates the promising application in stroke diagnosis.

Abstract
Bimetallic Janus nanostructures represent a highly functional class of nanomaterials due to important physicochemical properties stemming from the union of two chemically distinct metal segments where each maintains a partially exposed surface. Essential to their synthesis is the incorporation of a symmetry-breaking control that is able to induce the regioselective deposition of a secondary metal onto a preexisting nanostructure even though such depositions are, more often than not, in opposition to the innate tendencies of heterogeneous growth modes. Numerous symmetry-breaking controls have been forwarded but the ensuing Janus structure syntheses have not yet achieved anywhere near the same level of control over nanostructure size, shape, and composition as their core-shell and single-element counterparts. Herein, a collimated ion beam is demonstrated as a symmetry-breaking control that allows for the selective removal of a passivating oxide shell from one side of a metal nanostructure to create a configuration that is transformable into a substrate-bound Au-Ag Janus nanostructure. Two different modalities are demonstrated for achieving Janus structures where in one case the oxide dissolves in the growth solution while in the other it remains affixed to form a three-component system. The devised procedures distinguish themselves in their ability to realize complex Janus architectures arranged in periodic arrays where each structure has the same alignment relative to the underlying substrate. The work, hence, provides an avenue for forming precisely tailored Janus structures and, in a broader sense, advances the use of oxides as an effective means for directing nanometal syntheses.

Abstract
Galvanic replacement (GR) of monometallic nanoparticles (NPs) provides a versatile route to interesting bimetallic nanostructures, with examples such as nanoboxes, nanocages, nanoshells, nanorings, and heterodimers reported. The replacement of bimetallic templates by a more noble metal can generate trimetallic nanostructures with different architectures, where the specific structure has been shown to depend on the relative reduction potentials of the participating metals and lattice mismatch between the depositing and template metal phases. Now, the role of reaction stoichiometry is shown to direct the overall architecture of multimetallic nanostructures produced by GR with bimetallic templates. Specifically, the number of initial metal islands deposited on a NP template depends on the reaction stoichiometry. This outcome was established by studying the GR process between intermetallic PdCu (i-PdCu) NPs and either AuCl2- (Au1+) or AuCl4- (Au3+), producing i-PdCu-Au heterostructures. Significantly, multiple Au domains form in the case of GR with AuCl2- while only single Au domains form in the case of AuCl4-. These different NP architectures and their connection to reaction stoichiometry are consistent with Stranski-Krastanov (SK) growth, providing general guidelines on how the conditions of GR processes can be used to achieve multimetallic nanostructures with different defined architectures.

Abstract
Surface patterning of inorganic nanoparticles through site-selective functionalization with mixed-ligand shells or additional inorganic material is an intriguing approach to developing tailored nanomaterials with potentially novel and/or multifunctional properties. The unique physicochemical properties of such nanoparticles are likely to impact their behavior and functionality in biological environments, catalytic systems, and electronics applications, making it vital to understand how we can achieve and characterize such regioselective surface functionalization. This Feature Article will review methods by which chemists have selectively modified the surface of colloidal nanoparticles to obtain both two-sided Janus particles and nanoparticles with patchy or stripey mixed-ligand shells, as well as to achieve directed growth of mesoporous oxide materials and metals onto existing nanoparticle templates in a spatially and compositionally controlled manner. The advantages and drawbacks of various techniques used to characterize the regiospecificity of anisotropic surface coatings are discussed, as well as areas for improvement, and future directions for this field.

Abstract
The issue of environmental pollutant residues has gained wide public attention all along. Therefore, it is necessary to develop simple, rapid, economical, portable, and sensitive detection techniques, which have become the focus of research in the pollutants detection field. Spectroscopy is one of the most convenient, simple, rapid, and intuitive analytical tools that can provide accurate information, such as ultraviolet spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, plasmon resonance spectroscopy, etc. Gold nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles, and their dimers with unique optical properties are commonly used in the construction of spectroscopic probes. As a class of oligonucleotides that can recognize specific target molecules, aptamers also have a strong ability to recognize small-molecule pollutants. The application of aptamer-binding metal nanoparticles in biosensing detection presents significant advantages for instance high sensitivity, good selectivity, and rapid analysis. And many spectroscopic probes constructed by aptamer-binding gold nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles, or their dimers have been successfully demonstrated for detecting pollutants. This review summarizes the progress, advantages, and disadvantages of aptamer sensing techniques constructed by visual colorimetric, fluorescence, Raman, and plasmon resonance spectroscopic probes combining gold/silver nanoparticles or their dimers in the field of pollutants detection, and discusses the prospects and challenges for their future.
