Abstract
Nanosprings demonstrate promising mechanical characteristics, positioning them as pivotal components in a diverse array of potential nanoengineering applications. To unlock the full potential of these nanosprings, ongoing research is concentrated on emulating springs at the nanoscale in terms of both morphology and function. This review underscores recent advancements in the field and provides a comprehensive overview of the diverse methods employed for nanospring preparation. Understanding the general mechanism behind nanospring formation lays the groundwork for the informed design of nanosprings. The synthesis section delineates four prominent methods employed for nanospring fabrication: vapor phase synthesis, templating methods, post-treatment techniques, and molecular engineering. Each method is critically analyzed, highlighting its strengths, limitations, and potential for scalability. Mechanical properties of nanosprings are explored in depth, discussing their response to external stimuli and their potential applications in various fields such as sensing, energy storage, and biomedical engineering. The interplay between nanospring morphology and mechanical behavior is elucidated, providing insights into the design principles for tailored functionality. Additionally, we anticipate that the evolution of state-of-the-art characterization tools, such as in situ transmission electron microscopy, 3D electron tomography, and machine learning, will significantly contribute to both the study of nanospring mechanisms and their applications.

Abstract
Mixtures of nanoparticles (NPs) with hybridizing grafted DNA or DNA-like strands have been of particular interest because of the tunable selectivity provided for the interactions between the NP components. A richer self-assembly behavior would be accessible if these NP-NP interactions could be designed to give nonadditive mixing (in analogy to the case of molecular components). Nonadditive mixing occurs when the mixed-state volume is smaller (negative) or larger (positive) than the sum of the individual components' volumes. However, instances of nonadditivity in colloidal/NP mixtures are rare, and systematic studies of such mixtures are nonexistent. This work focuses on patchy NPs whose patches (coarsely representing grafted hybridizing DNA strands) not only encode selectivity across components but also impart a tunable nonadditivity by varying their extent of protrusion. To guide the exploration of the relationship between phase behavior and nonadditivity for different patches' designs, the NP-NP potential of mean force (PMF) and a nonadditive parameter were first calculated. For one-patch NPs, different lamellar morphologies were predominantly observed. In contrast, for mixtures of two-patch NPs and (fully grafted) spherical particles, a rich phase behavior was found depending on patch-patch angle and degree of nonadditivity, resulting in phases such as the gyroid, cylinder, honeycomb, and two-layered crystal. Our results also show that both minimum positive nonadditivity and multivalent interactions are necessary for the formation of ordered network mesophases in the class of models studied.

Quantitative detection of malachite green in sediment by a time-resolved immunofluorescence method combined with a portable 3D printing equipment platform.

Abstract
Rapid detection technology of aquaculture fishery drug residues is needed to supplement large-scale instrument methods. To do this, the time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay (TRFIA) method and portable three-dimensional (3D) printing equipment platform were used, in combination with smartphones, to detect malachite green (MG) in pond sediments. The TRFIA was coupled to MG monoclonal antibodies (mAb) through lanthanide metal microspheres europium (Eu3+). The labeled antibody produced competitive immunity in the immune reaction system, and the specific fluorescence intensity in the product was determined by a portable 3D printing equipment platform to achieve quantitative analysis. To test this method, leucomalachite green (LMG) was converted to MG by oxidation of dicyanoquinone (DDQ), and a qualitative analysis was achieved. Methodological evaluation results were satisfactory, recoveries were 83 %-104 %, the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.3 ng/g, the limit of quantitation (LOQ) was 0.7 ng/g, and the coefficient of variation was 1.3 %-7.3 %. The linear equation y = -0.1496x + 0.5585 was in the range of 0-10 ng/g. The linear regression correlation coefficient was 99.2 %. The TRFIA was confirmed and positive samples were measured. Results were consistent with the standard method, which demonstrated that the TRFIA was feasible and that the detection results were reliable. Compared with the national standard method, the TRFIA saves time, is more convenient, and has high sensitivity. It provides an efficient technical method for the rapid screening of MG in the sediments of aquaculture environments.

Abstract
A seedless method has been developed to synthesize seaweed-like Au nanowires on a Au substrate. The amino silane coupling agent 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane was employed to form the active surfaces that facilitate the one dimensional growth. The growth mechanism and controlling parameters were investigated. Furthermore, the compatibility of this synthesis with a colloidal Au substrate was also demonstrated.

Abstract
Helical nanostructures are important nanoscale building blocks. While only a few methods are available for synthesizing helical metal nanostructures, those involving collective twisting behaviour are even fewer. Here, we report a solution synthesis of Au nanowire bundles with hierarchical helical constructions. Ultrathin nanowires with diameters of only about 10 nm formed huge ribbon bundles that have a width of 0.5-1 μm and thickness of a few hundreds of nanometres. These bundles extended to hundreds of micrometres and curled into helices. Mechanism studies revealed that the white floccules formed by Au(i) and a thiol ligand are of critical importance for both the nanowire growth and helical bundle formation. The nanowire growth took place in the floccules following the previously reported active surface growth mode, and the bundle formation was due to the splitting of the active surface. Most importantly, the floccules assisted the strain-induced curling process that yielded helices. As the length of the bundles keeps increasing and they break out from the surrounding floccules, they would have to pass through the pores of the floccules. The imbalanced squeezing at the pore caused the bundles to curl into helices.
