Two-in-One: A Copolypeptide Provides Antimicrobial Activity and Barrier Properties
A new approach to prevent wound infections: Antimicrobial activities and microbial barrier properties can be designed in a single biopolymer.
Classical and Quantum Systems: Transport Due to Rare Events
Possible mechanisms for energy transfer based on ‘rare’ or ‘non-perturbative’ effects, in physical systems that present a many-body localized phenomenology are reviewed.
Advanced Structural Materials by Bioinspiration
Biological composites are reviewed, such as bone, teeth, and nacre, along with a description of their structure, chemistry and mechanics, and a detailed analysis of the fundamental design motifs of natural materials.
Transition-Metal Perovskite Chalcogenides (TMPCs): A New Class of Versatile Optoelectronic Semiconductors
Transition metal perovskite chalcogenides are a new class of versatile semiconductors with high absorption coefficient and luminescence efficiency.
New Ray of Hope for High-Efficiency Solar Cells

Upregulation of Extrasynaptic Inhibitory Receptors Protects against Anorexa nervosa
Results suggest that treatments targeting the activation of specific receptors may be efficacious in preventing the development or relapse of anorexia nervosa.
Effect of Low-Dose Exposure to Bisphenol A on Breast Cancer
Effect of low-dose exposure to bisphenol A on carcinogenesis of breast cancer.
Kirigami/Origami-Based Reflectors for Beam Steering
Redirecting incident light towards a specific direction is a basic feat of engineering useful for large applications, such as redirecting sunlight onto solar panels or to provide greater illumination in a household, and for smaller applications, such as in optical...
