Bioinspired MXene-integrated colloidal crystal arrays for multichannel bioinformation coding.

ABSTRACT: Information coding strategies are becoming increasingly crucial due to the storage demand brought by the information explosion. In particular, bioinformation coding has attracted great attention for its advantages of excellent storage capacity and long lifetime. Herein, we present an innovative bioinspired MXene-integrated photonic crystal (PhC) array for multichannel bioinformation coding. PhC arrays with similar structure to Stenocara beetle's back are utilized as the substrate, exhibiting properties of high throughput and stability. MXene nanosheets are further integrated on the PhC array's substrate with the assistance of the adhesion capacity of mussel-inspired dopamine (DA). Benefitting from their fluorescence resonance energy transfer effect, MXene nanosheets can quench the fluorescence signals of quantum dot (QD) modified DNA probes unless the corresponding targets exist. Additionally, these black MXene nanosheets can enhance the contrast of structural color. In this case, the encrypted information can be easily read out by simply observing the fluorescence signal of DNA probes. It is demonstrated that this strategy based on bioinspired MXene-integrated PhC arrays can realize high-throughput information encoding and encryption, which opens a chapter of bioinformation coding.

Project description:PurposeMultichannel Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (mTMS) arrays enable multiple sites to be stimulated simultaneously or sequentially under electronic control without moving the system's stimulation coils. Here, we build and characterize the performance of a novel modular 3-axis TMS coil that can be utilized as a unit element in large-scale multichannel TMS arrays.MethodsWe determined the basic physical characteristics of the 3-axis TMS coil x-, y- and z-elements using a custom 2-channel programmable stimulator prototype. We mapped the temporal rate-of-change of the induced magnetic field (dB/dt) on a 2D plane parallel to the coil surface (including an extended line for full spatial coverage) and compared those values with predictions from magnetic field simulations. Temperature measurements were carried out to assess the incorporated air-cooling method. We measured the mutual and self-inductances of the x/y/z-elements to assess coupling between them. Additionally, we measured and calculated the coupling between z-elements in the array configuration. Finally, we performed electric field simulations to evaluate the stimulation intensity and focality of the coil and compared the results to conventional TMS coils as well as demonstrated suitability of the 3-axis coil for a multichannel array configuration.ResultsThe experimentally obtained dB/dt values validated the computational model of the 3-axis coil and therefore confirmed that both the coil and stimulator system are operating as intended. The air-cooling system was effective for brief high-frequency pulse trains and extended single- and paired-pulse TMS protocols. The electromagnetic simulations suggested that an array of the 3-axis coils would have comparable stimulation intensity to conventional TMS coils, therefore enabling clearly suprathreshold stimulation of the human brain. The recorded coil coupling between the x/y/z-elements was < 1% and the maximal coupling between z-elements in the array configuration was 1.8% and 3.4% for the measured and calculated values, respectively.ConclusionWe presented a 3-axis coil intended for multichannel TMS arrays. The electromagnetic measurements and simulations verified that the coil fabrication met the desired specifications and that the inductive coupling between the elements was negligible. The air-cooled 3-axis TMS coil appears suitable to be used as an element in multichannel TMS arrays.
