Sodium-ion batteries present an attractive alternative to lithium-ion batteries due to their lower environmental impact, enhanced safety, and competitive energy density. A critical factor in improving these batteries…

Modular protein engineering is a powerful approach for fabricating high-molecular-weight assemblies and biomaterials with nanoscale precision. Herein, we address the challenge of designing an extended nanoscale…

Nucleic acid processing enzymes use a two-Mg2+-ion motif to promote the formation and cleavage of phosphodiester bonds. Yet, recent evidence demonstrates the presence of spatially conserved second-shell cations…

By the Department of Energy of the United States (US DOE) levulinic acid (LA) is ranked among the top 12 platform chemicals produced from biomass. LA can be found in various industrial sectors and can also be converted…

Highlights:

• We measured more than 113,000 protein-protein interactions in a single tube!
• Found large orthogonal sets.
• Found new rules for protein design (at least two mismatches in the hydrogen bond network are…

Achieving remote, precise control of cells within deep tissue remains a significant scientific challenge. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound offers a promising solution for in vivo therapeutic applications due to its…

Due to their origin from the most abundant biopolymer on Earth, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and exceptional mechanical properties, cellulose nanofibrils represent one of the key materials for a sustainable…

Sodium-ion batteries are a promising alternative to widely used lithium-ion ones, because they show high energy density, improved safety and lower environmental impact. For this kind of devices, the choice of anode…

The methane dry reforming reaction (DRM, CO2 + CH4 ↔ 2H2 + 2CO) gained a lot of attention in the last decades because it converts two greenhouse gases into syngas. The CO-rich syngas produced during DRM can be used for…

Ultrasound is very useful method in diagnostics, as it allows a deep and non-invasive observation of the body. At certain conditions, ultrasound can be used to stimulate cells, but this is effect is very small and to…
