Transition metal containing polyanion compounds are effective excellent electrode materials for sodium-ion batteries due to their high intrinsic electrochemical potentials and to the resulting high energy density. Iron ...

A method for calculating stored magnetic energy in a thin superconducting film based on quantitative magneto-optical imaging is developed. Energy and magnetic moment are determined with these calculations for full hysteresis ...

We review the structural chemistry and reactivity of copper-exchanged molecular sieves with chabazite (CHA) topology, as an industrially applied catalyst in ammonia mediated reduction of harmful nitrogen oxides (NH3-SCR) ...

A complete chemical and morphological analysis of the evolution of battery electrode materials can be achieved combining different and complementary techniques. Operando small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and wide-angle ...

Fungi and plants do not have an adaptive immune system. Innate immunity serves as their sole defense, often based on carbohydrate recognition by lectins. In a twist of nature, as revealed by Sommer et al. (2018) in this ...

Corynebacterium glutamicum is widely used for the industrial production of amino acids, nucleotides, and vitamins. The shikimate pathway enzymes DAHP synthase (CgDS, Cg2391) and chorismate mutase (CgCM, Cgl0853) play a key ...

Aim: For isolation of exosomes, differential ultracentrifugation and an isolation kit from a major vendor were compared. Materials & methods: ‘Case study’ exosomes isolated from patient-derived cells from glioblastoma ...

Flavodoxins (Flds) are small, bacterial proteins that transfer electrons to various redox enzymes. Flavodoxins are reduced by ferredoxin/flavodoxin NADP+ oxidoreductases (FNRs), but little is known of the FNR-Fld interaction. ...

Nitric oxide (NO) produced by mammalian nitric oxide synthases (mNOSs) is an important mediator in a variety of physiological functions. Crystal structures of mNOSs have shown strong conservation of the active‐site residue ...
