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

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. …”
