Integrated in-memory sensor and computing of artificial vision system based on reversible bonding transition-induced nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs) by Yu, Tianqi, Li, Jie, Lei, Wei, Shafe, Suhaidi, Mohtar, Mohd Nazim, Jindapetch, Nattha, van Dommelen, Paphavee, Zhao, Zhiwei

“…In contrast, nitrogen-doped CQDs (N-CQDs)-based optoelectronic memristors can be driven with smaller programming voltages (−0.6 to 0.7 V) and exhibit lower powers (78 nW/0.29 µW). The physical mechanism can be attributed to the reversible transition between C–N and C=N with lower binding energy induced by the electric field and the generation of photogenerated carriers by ultraviolet light irradiation, which adjusts the conductivity of the initial N-CQDs to implement resistance switching. …”

Production and characterization of bacterial cellulose synthesized by Enterobacter chuandaensis strain AEC using Phoenix dactylifera and Musa acuminata by AL-Hasabe, Ashraf Sami Hassan, Abdull Razis, Ahmad Faizal, Baharum, Nadiya Akmal, Yu, Choo Yee, Mat Isa, Nurulfiza

“…The BC produced then exhibited a molecular weight of 1,857,804 g/mol, with yields of 2.8 g/L and 2.5 g/L for treatments D and M, respectively. The crystallinity index of the purified BC was 74.1, and 13C NMR analysis confirmed the dominant cellulose Iα crystalline form. …”

Deletion of VPS50 protein in mouse brain impairs synaptic function and behavior by Ahumada-Marchant, Constanza, Ancatén-Gonzalez, Carlos, Haensgen, Henny, Brauer, Bastian, Merino-Veliz, Nicolas, Droste, Rita, Arancibia, Felipe, Horvitz, H. Robert, Constantine-Paton, Martha, Arriagada, Gloria, Chávez, Andrés E., Bustos, Fernando J.

“…In cultured neurons, KO of VPS50 did not affect the number of synaptic vesicles but did cause mislocalization of the V-ATPase V1 domain pump and impaired synaptic activity, likely as a consequence of defects in vesicle acidification and vesicle content. …”
