Abstract
In this work, the interaction performance of zwitterionic surfactant [dodecyl dimethyl sulfopropyl betaine (DSB-12) and hexadecyl dimethyl sulfopropyl betaine (DSB-16)] at the n-octadecane oil surface is investigated from experimental and simulation insights. For a macroscopic experiment, interfacial interferometry technology was developed for real-time monitor interaction performances and to obtain the quantitative interfacial thickness and mass results. The Langmuir model was characterized by thermodynamic analysis, deducing the aggregation spontaneity of DSB-16 > DSB-12 with ΔGagg(DSB-16) = -5.94 kJ mol-1 < ΔGagg(DSB-12) = 24.08 kJ mol-1. A three-step dynamic model (adsorption, arrangement, and aggregation) was characterized by kinetic analysis, indicating arrangement process as slow-limiting step with k2(arr) < k1(ads), k3(agg). For microscopic simulation, and molecular dynamic (MD) method was utilized to theoretically investigate interaction performances and obtain the interfacial configuration and energy results. The interaction stability and interaction strength were indicated to be DSB-16 > DSB-12 with differences of final energy ΔEfin = 48-88 kcal mol-1. The interaction mechanism was explained by proposing the model of "response enhancement" and "deposition activity" for DSB-16 interactions, and "response decrease" and "elution activity" for DSB-12 interactions. The different performances can be attributed to the different interaction forms and forces of surfactants. This work provided a platform for performance and mechanism investigation between the surfactant molecule and oil surface, which is of great significance in reservoir exploitation and enhanced oil recovery (EOR).

Abstract
Photonic bio-organic multiphase structures are suggested here for integrated thin-film electronic nets with multilevel logic elements for multilevel computing via a reconfigurable photonic bandgap of chiral biomaterials. Herein, inspired by an artificial intelligence system with efficient information integration and computing capability, the photonically active dielectric layer of chiral nematic cellulose nanocrystals is combined with printed-in p- and n-type organic semiconductors as a bifunctional logical element. These adaptive logic elements are capable of triggering tailored quantized electrical output signals under light with different photon energy and at the different photonic bandgaps of the active dielectric layer. The bifunctional structures enable complex memory behavior upon repetitive changes of photonic bandgap (controlled by expansion/contraction of chiral nematic pitch) and photon energy (controlled by light absorption wavelength of complementary organic semiconductor layers), exhibiting effectively a reconfigurable ternary logic response. This proof-of-concept bio-assisted multivalued logic structure facilitates an optical computing system for low-power optical information processing integrated with human-machine interfaces.

Abstract
Noise logic is introduced by the wavelength dependent photocurrent noise of an InGaN/SiNx/Si uniband diode photodetector. A wavelength versus photocurrent noise discrimination map is constructed from the larger photocurrent noise for red light than that for green light. A minimum measurement time of four seconds is deduced from the standard deviation of the photocurrent noise for a safe wavelength distinction. A logic NOT gate is realized as representative with on or off red or green light as binary 1 or 0 inputs and the photocurrent noise above or below a defined threshold as binary 1 or 0 outputs.

Abstract
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), which poses an extremely serious global impact on human public healthcare, represents a high transmission and disease-causing viral infection caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that is expanding at a rapid pace. Therefore, it is urgent for researchers to establish effective platforms for the assay and treatment of SARS-CoV-2. Functional nucleic acids (FNAs), comprising aptamers and nucleases, are of primary concern within the biological and medical communities owing of the distinctive properties of their target recognition and catalysis. This review will concentrate on the essential aspects of insights regarding FNAs and their technological expertise for the diagnostic and therapeutic utilization against COVID-19. We first offer a historical perspective of the COVID-19 pandemics, its clinical characteristics and potential biomarkers. Then, we briefly discuss the current diagnostic and therapeutic methodology towards COVID-19, highlighting the superiorities and existing shortcomings. After that, we introduce the key features of FNAs, and summarize recent progress of in vitro selection of FNAs for SARS-CoV-2 specific proteins and RNAs, followed by highlighting the general concept of translating FNAs into functional probes for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Then, we critically review the emerging FNAs-based diagnostic and therapeutic strategies that are fast, precise, efficient, and highly specific to fight COVID-19. Finally, we identify remaining challenges and offer future outlook of this emerging field.

Abstract
As an important component that constitutes all the cells and tissues of the human body, protein is involved in most of the biological processes. Inspired by natural protein systems, considerable efforts covering many discipline fields were made to design artificial protein assemblies and put them into application in recent decades. The rapid development of structural DNA nanotechnology offers significant means for protein assemblies and promotes their application. Owing to the programmability, addressability and accurate recognition ability of DNA, many protein assemblies with unprecedented structures and improved functions have been successfully fabricated, consequently creating many brand-new researching fields. In this review, we briefly introduced the DNA-based protein assemblies, and highlighted the limitations in application process and corresponding strategies in four aspects, including biological catalysis, protein detection, biomedicine treatment and other applications.

Abstract
The exploitation of new methods to control material structure has historically been dominating the material science. The bottom-up self-assembly strategy by taking atom/molecule/ensembles in nanoscale as building blocks and crystallization as a driving force bring hope for material fabrication. DNA-grafted nanoparticle has emerged as a "programmable atom equivalent" and was employed for the assembly of hierarchically ordered three-dimensional superlattice with novel properties and studying the unknown assembly mechanism due to its programmability and versatility in the binding capabilities. In this review, we highlight the assembly strategies and rules of DNA-grafted three-dimensional superlattice, dynamic assembly by different driving factors, and discuss their future applications.
