Electrical activity in the brain and heart depends on rhythmic generation of action potentials by pacemaker (HCN) ion channels whose activity is regulated by cAMP binding.
A novel, complementary method to oxidative Scholl coupling enables synthesis of conjugated porous networks via direct aromatic ring knitting.
Researchers showed that dual-function intermetallic nanoprecipitates simultaneously enhanced strength and ductility of medium-entropy alloys via synergistic spatial confinement effects on two distinct deformation mechanisms: precipitation
Researchers have discovered a new mode of SMSI construction under ambient conditions that is driven by photochemistry instead of the traditional thermal activation.
The nEDM@SNS project will search for the Electric Dipole Moment of the neutron at a level of 3 x 10-28 e-cm
Fractional-excitation-phonon coupling in α-RuCl3 is observed, validating phonons as a sensitive probe of hidden fractional and non-local excitations, experimentally confirming the theoretically predicted coupling and providing the key information
3D nanoprinting via electron-beam-induced deposition of nanowire constructs has attained a stage of development where many novel applications such as photonics, nano-magnetics, NEMS, and advanced SPM-tips are within reach.
Van der Waals materials have attracted considerable attention due to their exotic electronic properties that can be altered by manipulating the twist angle of bilayers or the stacking sequence of trilayers.
The mechanisms of van der Waals (vdW) epitaxial growth of monolayer two-dimensional (2D) crystals from amorphous precursors were revealed by in situ pulsed laser heating within a TEM and first-principles calculations.
Researchers discovered that Li infiltration in solid oxide electrolytes for all-solid-state batteries is associated with local electronic structure at grain boundaries (GBs) rather than exclusively at Li-electrolyte interfaces as in Li-ion batt
