Colossal positive magnetoresistance in surface-passivated oxygen-deficient strontium titanite by David, Adrian, Tian, Yufeng, Yang, Ping, Gao, Xingyu, Lin, Weinan, Shah, Amish B., Zuo, Jian-Min, Prellier, Wilfrid, Wu, Tom

“…Modulation of resistance by an external magnetic field, i.e. magnetoresistance effect, has been a long-lived theme of research due to both fundamental science and device applications. Here we report colossal positive magnetoresistance (CPMR) (>30,000% at a temperature of 2 K and a magnetic field of 9 T) discovered in degenerate semiconducting strontium titanite (SrTiO3) single crystals capped with ultrathin SrTiO3/LaAlO3 bilayers. …”

Broad-band polarization-insensitive all-dielectric metalens enabled by intentional off-resonance waveguiding at mid-wave infrared by Tanriover, Ibrahim, Demir, Hilmi Volkan

“…However, these approaches are limited to either narrow operation bands or suffer polarization dependency. Here, we propose and show high-index dielectric nanopillars operated as cylindrical waveguides deliberately in the off-resonance regime to achieve polarization independent wavefront control over wide spectral bands. …”

Formation of particle clouds by Zhao, B., Law, Adrian Wing-Keung, Adams, E. Eric, Er, J. W.

“…The theoretical support for cloud number dependence is explored by considering flows passing a porous sphere. Here Nc values ranging from 2.9×10−3 to 5.9×10−2 are tested experimentally using particles with different initial masses and grain sizes, from non-cohesive to marginally cohesive. …”

Controlled molecular self-assembly of complex three-dimensional structures in soft materials by Huang, Changjin, Quinn, David, Suresh, Subra, Hsia, K. Jimmy

“…Many applications in tissue engineering, flexible electronics, and soft robotics call for approaches that are capable of producing complex 3D architectures in soft materials. Here we present a method using molecular self-assembly to generate hydrogel-based 3D architectures that resembles the appealing features of the bottom-up process in morphogenesis of living tissues. …”

Runx family genes in a cartilaginous Fish, the elephant Shark (Callorhinchus milii) by Nah, Giselle Sek Suan, Lim, Zhi Wei, Tay, Boon-Hui, Osato, Motomi, Venkatesh, Byrappa

“…The Runx family genes encode transcription factors that play key roles in hematopoiesis, skeletogenesis and neurogenesis and are often implicated in diseases. We describe here the cloning and characterization of Runx1, Runx2, Runx3 and Runxb genes in the elephant shark (Callorhinchus milii), a member of Chondrichthyes, the oldest living group of jawed vertebrates. …”

Microbubble-mediated sonoporation for highly efficient transfection of recalcitrant human B-cell lines by Yong, Charlene Li Ling, Ow, Dave Siak-Wei, Tandiono, Tandiono, Heng, Lisa Li Mei, Chan, Ken Kwok-Keung, Ohl, Claus-Dieter, Klaseboer, Evert, Ohl, Siew-Wan, Choo1, Andre Boon-Hwa

“…Using the same strategy, Raji and Daudi B cells were also successfully transfected and enriched to 67 and 99% GFP-positive cells, respectively. Here, we present sonoporation as a feasible non-viral strategy for stable and highly efficient heterologous transfection of recalcitrant B-cell lines. …”

Natural IgG antibodies provide innate protection against ficolin-opsonized bacteria by Panda, Saswati, Zhang, Jing, Tan, Nguan Soon, Ho, Bow, Ding, Jeak Ling

“…For nearly five decades since its discovery, the role of natural IgG, which pre‐exists in neonates and uninfected individuals, has remained unclear due to the general perception that natural antibodies lack affinity for pathogens. Here, we show for the first time that natural IgG recognizes a spectrum of bacteria through lectins like ficolin and mannose binding lectin (MBL). …”

Asymmetric pathways in the electrochemical conversion reaction of NiO as battery electrode with high storage capacity by McDermott, Eamon, Shukla, Alpesh K., Yi, Tanghong, Boesenberg, Ulrike, Marcus, Matthew A., Teh, Pei Fen, Srinivasan, Madhavi, Moewes, Alexander, Cabana, Jordi

“…However, for practical electrodes to be envisaged, a detailed understanding of their mechanisms is needed, especially vis-à-vis the voltage hysteresis observed between reduction and oxidation. Here, we present such insight at scales from local atomic arrangements to whole electrodes. …”

Cation influence on carrier dynamics in perovskite solar cells by Solanki, Ankur, Yadav, Pankaj, Turren-Cruz, Silver-Hamill, Lim, Swee Sien, Saliba, Michael, Sum, Tze Chien

“…However, a clear understanding of the impact of these cations on the structure-function relationship in relation to the device performance is severely lacking. Here, we systematically investigate the influence of Rb + and Cs + on the carrier dynamics using transient optical spectroscopy and correlate with solar cell performance. …”

Valley-layer coupling : a new design principle for valleytronics by Yu, Zhi-Ming, Guan, Shan, Sheng, Xian-Lei, Gao, Weibo, Yang, Shengyuan A.

“…The current valleytronics research is based on the paradigm of time-reversal-connected valleys in two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal materials, which forbids the fully electric generation of valley polarization by a gate field. Here, we go beyond the existing paradigm to explore 2D systems with a novel valley-layer coupling (VLC) mechanism, where the electronic states in the emergent valleys have a valley-contrasted layer polarization. …”

In-situ garnet 238U-230Th geochronology of Holocene silica-undersaturated volcanic tuffs at millennial-scale precision by Wotzlaw, Jörn-Frederik, Guillong, Marcel, Balashova, Anna, Forni, Francesca, Dunkl, István, Mattsson, Hannes B., Bachmann, Olivier

“…Radioisotopic dates for Late Pleistocene to Holocene silica-undersaturated volcanic rocks are often imprecise, limiting our ability to assess the frequency of eruptions in alkaline volcanic provinces, evaluate related volcanic risk and date associated archaeological sites. Here, we present a new approach to dating alkaline volcanic rocks employing 238U-230Th disequilibrium dating of Ca-rich garnet phenocrysts by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS). …”

Positive effect of incorporating Er0.4Bi1.6O3 on the performance and stability of La2NiO4+δ cathode by He, Zelong, Ai, Na, He, Shuai, Jiang, San Ping, Zhang, Lan, Rickard, William D. A., Tang, Dian, Chen, Kongfa

“…Layered Ruddlesden-Popper La2NiO4+δ (LNO) is reported to possess excellent oxygen surface and bulk transport properties, but its application as the cathode of solid oxide fuel cells is restrained by the relatively poor electrocatalytic activity. Here, we report the incorporation of highly ion-conducting Er-stabilized Bi2O3 (ESB) into LNO and assemble the LNO-ESB composite cathode directly on zirconia electrolyte film using a facile electrochemical polarization approach. …”
