Charge storage and transport mechanisms in printable supercapacitors by Wee, Grace Tsyh Ying

“…While conventional SCs suffer from its bulky architecture comprising of metallic current collectors and amorphous carbon, incorporation of the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) network as a single-layer current collector and active material has been explored, which leads to a light-weight and printable charge storage device that offers a “printed power solution” that can be potentially integrated with printed electronics applications. …”

The effect of the amyloid-beta peptide on the fluidity of cell membranes : a study by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy by Ng, Justin Wei Qing

“…Aβ is thought to interact with the cell membrane, perturbing its structure and organization, thus changing the fluidity and normal function of the cell membrane, leading to detrimental effects on the cells. Although there have been several studies done regarding this topic, the results have been conflicting and thus inconclusive, likely due to the drawbacks and biases introduced by techniques used in those studies. …”

Crystallographic Correlations with Anisotropic Oxide Ion Conduction in Aluminum-Doped Neodymium Silicate Apatite Electrolytes by An, Tao, Baikie, Tom, Wei, Fengxia, Pramana, Stevin S., Schreyer, Martin K., Piltz, Ross O., Shin, J. Felix, Wei, Jun, Slater, Peter R., White, Timothy John

“…To better understand the oxide ion conduction mechanism of rare earth silicate apatites as intermediate temperature electrolytes for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), the effect of lower valent metal doping on the performance of Nd(28+x)/3AlxSi6-xO26 (0 ≤ x ≤ 2) single crystals has been examined. The measurement of ionic conductivity via AC impedance spectroscopy showed that the conductivities were anisotropic and superior along the c direction. …”
