Roll-to-Roll (R2R) coating is a technology that potentially enhances throughput, reduces costs, and accommodates flexible substrates for fabricating various types of solar cells and modules. Here, authors discuss the R2R revolution to tackle the industrial leap for perovskite photovoltaic devices.
The authors theoretically study the pressure dependence of the phase diagram of the nickelate PrNiO2 with and without Sr doping. At high pressure, they find that the superconducting dome is significantly enhanced in both Tc and doping-range of superconductivity compared with ambient pressure, with a maximal Tc of 100 K around 100 GPa in absence of external doping.
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are mono copper enzymes with outstanding industrial applicability. Here, the authors investigate the “hole hopping” mechanism in a bacterial LPMO and show that a strictly conserved tryptophan is critical for radical formation and hole transference, as well as reveal a correlation between the efficiency of hole transference and enzyme performance under oxidative stress.
Four β-N-acetylgalactosaminidase gene families were identified via deep-sea metagenome analysis. The biochemical and structural characterization of the aforementioned enzymes revealed their functional diversity and monophyletic evolutionary history.
The sources and sinks of Re and U in the modern ocean may be imbalanced, according to sedimentary porewater analysis and assessment of reductive Re and U removal on the continental shelf
Proton conduction is one of the interesting applications of hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks. Here, the authors report hydrogen-bonded organic framework that can be transformed into glassy state, effectively mitigating grain boundary effects, and significantly enhancing proton conduction performance.
Conversation is a primary means of social influence, but its effects on the brain aren’t well-understood. Here, the authors find evidence that people who are central in their social networks facilitate consensus-building conversations that align future brain activity.
Exponential growth of toxigenic Streptococcus pyogenes M1UK lineage accounted for most of the 2022/2023 invasive infection upsurge in the UK. Authors provide evidence that M1UK first emerged in 2008, has genetic evidence of enhanced fitness, and has disseminated to 3 continents.
Human groups preserve cultural history in songs passed between generations. Here the authors show that musical histories are largely independent of the history preserved in genes and languages.
Pesticides safeguard crops against pest infestations and mitigate associated risks. In this work, the authors develop a pesticide targeting AlstR-C of T.pityocampa pests, showing promising results without harming other insects, and advancing the development of GPCR-targeted pesticides for insect control.
Using prey size measurements from ten Southern Ocean lanternfish species sampled across >10° of latitude, this study shows that higher temperatures were associated with smaller fish and an overall decrease in the size of fish relative to their prey. Ocean warming may therefore alter the diversity and size structuring of trophic interactions, reducing the stability of marine ecosystems.
The role of coagulation system in erythropoiesis is not clear. Here, the authors report that an anticoagulant protein TFPI from erythroblasts directs central macrophages to synthesize heme, which in turn promotes erythropoiesis in bone marrow.
Knowledge about the full reaction signature, such as the complete profile of products and side-products is important in accelerating discovery chemistry. Here, the authors report a methodology using high-throughput experimentation and multivariate data analysis to examine Palladium- catalyzed cross-coulpling reactions.
While machine learning platforms can improve the assessment of Hematoxylin & Eosin (H&E) stained-tumour tissue images, current models typically require manual cell-type annotations in training. Here, the authors develop VOLTA, a self-supervised machine learning framework to improve cell representation learning in H&E images based on the cells environment
Schizophrenia research has traditionally overlooked sex differences. Here, the authors show the importance of sex-based analysis across multi-brain regions by identifying sex-specific genes and genetic interactions in schizophrenia and sex-specific risk.
