Effect of solvent segregation on the performance of lithium-ion batteries by Li, R, O'Kane, SEJ, Wang, A, Jung, T, Marinescu, M, Monroe, CW, Offer, GJ

Understanding the role of transporters and ion channels in lysosomal homeostasis by Salphati, S

“…A key regulator of cell signaling at the lysosomal membrane is the ion channel TRPML1. Numerous functions have been associated with TRPML1 activity, but its mechanisms of action remain poorly understood. …”

Exploring oxonium ion chemistry in natural product synthesis by Hicks, HB

“…The project is centred around a new biosynthesis postulate for natural products of the dioxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane class (<strong>I-III</strong>), in which a complex allyl oxonium ion (<strong>V</strong>) is proposed to be their progenitor through reaction of nucleophiles with the oxonium ion at the allylic position. …”

Improved flux pinning properties of Mg exceed MgB2 ceramics with B4C and Dy2O3 additions by Pham, Ha H., Le, Tien, Pham, An T., Kang, Won Nam, Nam, Nguyen H., Anh, Do T.K., Anh, Nguyen Hoang, Peh, Hoo Keong, Chen, Soo Kien, Man, Nguyen K., Hong, Vuong Thi Anh, Lee, Hanoh, Park, Tuson, Cuong, Le Viet, Hai, Phan, Huy, Nguyen Quang, Tran, Duc H.

“…According to collective pinning theory, δl pinning was identified as the dominant pinning type in the fabricated samples. …”

Event-driven spiking neural networks using asynchronous-logic network-on-chip routers in field programmable gate array (FPGA) by Wu, Si

“…Compared with the second-generation neural network, SNN uses spikes to process information. The neuronal units in SNNs are only active when they receive or emit spikes, so it is event-driven, thus making it energy-efficient. …”

High-density lipoprotein function is modulated by the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in a lipid-type dependent manner by Correa, Yubexi, Del Giudice, Rita, Waldie, Sarah, Thépaut, Michel, Micciula, Samantha, Gerelli, Yuri, Moulin, Martine, Delaunay, Clara, Fieschi, Franck, Pichler, Harald, Haertlein, Michael, Forsyth, V. Trevor, Le Brun, Anton, Moir, Michael, Russell, Robert A., Darwish, Tamim, Brinck, Jonas, Wodaje, Tigist, Jansen, Martin, Martín, César, Roosen-Runge, Felix, Cárdenas, Marité

“…It is known that the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein binds the HDL particle, probably depleting it of lipids and altering HDL function. …”

Dok3 restrains neutrophil production of calprotectin during TLR4 sensing of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein by Loh, Jia Tong, Teo, Joey Kay Hui, Lam, Kong-Peng

“…In this study, we showed that Dok3 adaptor restrains calprotectin production by neutrophils in response to SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein engagement of TLR4. Dok3 recruits SHP-2 to mediate the de-phosphorylation of MyD88 at Y257, thereby attenuating downstream JAK2-STAT3 signaling and calprotectin production. …”

Systematic control of α-Fe 2 O 3 crystal growth direction for improved electrochemical performance of lithium-ion battery anodes by Shen, Nan, Keppeler, Miriam, Stiaszny, Barbara, Hain, Holger, Maglia, Filippo, Srinivasan, Madhavi

“…α-Fe2O3 nanomaterials with an elongated nanorod morphology exhibiting superior electrochemical performance were obtained through hydrothermal synthesis assisted by diamine derivatives as shape-controlling agents (SCAs) for application as anodes in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The physicochemical characteristics were investigated via XRD and FESEM, revealing well-crystallized α-Fe2O3 with adjustable nanorod lengths between 240 and 400 nm and aspect ratios in the range from 2.6 to 5.7. …”

Cage Molecules Stabilize Lead Halide Perovskite Thin Films by Sun, Shijing, Liu, Ming, Thapa, Janak, Hartono, Noor Titan Putri, Zhao, Yicheng, He, Donglin, Wieghold, Sarah, Chua, Matthew, Wu, Yue, Bulović, Vladimir, Ling, Sanliang, Brabec, Christoph J., Cooper, Andrew I., Buonassisi, Tonio

“…However, to date the choice of additives is largely limited to a dozen or so materials under the design philosophy that high crystallinity is a prerequisite for stable HOIP thin films. In this study, we incorporate porous organic cages (POCs) as functional additives into perovskite thin films for the first time and investigate the HOIP–POC interaction via a combined experimental and computational approach. …”

A Universal Approximation for Conductance Blockade in Thin Nanopore Membranes by Shah, Arjav, Pathak, Shakul, Li, Kun, Garaj, Slaven, Bazant, Martin Z, Gupta, Ankur, Doyle, Patrick S

“…We present a comprehensive investigation of the access resistance and associated conductance blockade in thin nanopore membranes. By combining a first-principles approach, multiscale modeling, and experimental validation, we propose a unified theoretical modeling framework. …”

Influence of presumed influence on thinness as a beauty ideal for girls. by Soh, Wai Siong.

“…It was interesting that when it comes to the influence on the desire to be thin, we could only see that the “influence of self” has an impact on the desire to be thin. …”
