"Partisan or party-shun?" : When fact-checking meets partisanship by Goh, Bryan Wei Ming

“…A moderated mediation analysis found that a government fact-check was seen as less credible than a non-government fact-check, and that it was also thus less believable. Conversely, a non-government fact-check was seen as more credible than a non-government fact-check and thus, more believable. …”

Sorptive properties of biofilm matrix for heavy metal sequestering by Elisa Tiaras

“…The attachment of microbial community and the development of biofilms have been studied extensively due to the biofilm’s presence and importance in natural as well as engineering system. 1 particular field of interest is bioremediation of heavy metals using bacterial biofilm because it has been known for its ability to adsorb metals. There is thus a potential impact on global cycling of heavy metals. …”

Structural and electronic features enabling delocalized charge-carriers in CuSbSe 2 by Fu, Y, Lohan, H, Righetto, M, Huang, Y, Kavanagh, SR, Cho, C, Zelewski, SJ, Woo, YW, Demetriou, H, McLachlan, MA, Heutz, S, Piot, BA, Scanlon, DO, Rao, A, Herz, LM, Walsh, A, Hoye, RLZ

“…Using a combination of theory and experiment, the critical enabling factors are found to be: 1) having a layered structure, which allows distortions to the unit cell during the propagation of an acoustic wave to be relaxed in the interlayer gaps, with minimal changes in bond length, thus limiting deformation potentials; 2) favourable quasi-bonding interactions across the interlayer gap giving rise to higher electronic dimensionality; 3) Born effective charges not being anomalously high, which, combined with the small bandgap (≤1.2 eV), result in a low ionic contribution to the dielectric constant compared to the electronic contribution, thus reducing the strength of Fröhlich coupling. …”
