The all-solid-state lithium batteries using solid electrolytes are considered to be the new
generation of devices for energy storage. Recent advances in this kind of rechargeable batteries …

We have developed a nanowire nanogenerator that is driven by an ultrasonic wave to
produce continuous direct-current output. The nanogenerator was fabricated with vertically …

Utilizing the coupled piezoelectric and semiconducting dual properties of ZnO, we demonstrate
a piezoelectric field effect transistor (PE-FET) that is composed of a ZnO nanowire (NW) (…

Infection by HIV-1 involves the fusion of viral and cellular membranes with subsequent
transfer of viral genetic material into the cell. The HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein that mediates …

Molybdenum disulphide is a layered transition metal dichalcogenide that has recently
raised considerable interest due to its unique semiconducting and opto-electronic properties. …

Recent research and development of colorless and optically transparent polyimide (CPI) films
have been reviewed. CPI films possess both of the merits of conventional aromatic PI films …

Background The narrow host range of Mycobacterium leprae and the fact that it is refractory
to growth in culture has limited research on and the biologic understanding of leprosy. Host …

Metal oxide gas sensors are predominant solid-state gas detecting devices for domestic,
commercial and industrial applications, which have many advantages such as low cost, easy …

We present the VASPKIT, a command-line program that aims at providing a robust and user-friendly
interface to perform high-throughput analysis of a variety of material properties from …

The X-linked Foxp3 is a member of the forkhead/winged helix transcription factor family.
Germline mutations cause lethal autoimmune diseases in males. Serendipitously, we observed …
