Study on the effects of different ammonium salts on baked bread.

Three different ammonium salts, namely diammonium hydrogen phosphate, ammonium bicarbonate, and ammonium carbonate, were added into bread samples as an additive to analyze their effects on bread. The color, texture, deoxyfructosazine of the functional substance, and pyrazine flavor substance, which were closely related to the quality of the bread, were analyzed. The addition of ammonium salts during the preparation of bread led to the darkening and hardening of the bread.

Inducing Electric Current in Graphene Using Ionic Flow.

Classical nanofluidic frameworks account for the confined fluid and ion transport under an electrostatic field at the solid-liquid interface, but the electronic property of the solid is often overlooked. Harvesting the interaction of the nanofluidic transport with the electron transport in solid requires a route effectively coupling ion and electron dynamics. Here we report a nanofluidic analogy of Coulomb drag for exploring the dynamic ion-electron interactions at the liquid-graphene interface.

Light-Driven Ion Transport through Single-Heterojunction Nanopores.

Inspired by natural photosynthesis, light has become an emerging ionic behavior regulator and ion-pumping source. Nanoprocessing technology has allowed the bridge between the light-regulated nanofluids and the optoelectronic properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials, which inspires applications like energy harvesting and enhances fundamental understandings in nanofluidics. However, unlike light-induced ion pumping based on densely layered membranes with multiple nanochannels, experimental implementation on atomically thin materials featuring only a single nanochannel remains challenging.

Aberrant expression of Arpin in human breast cancer and its clinical significance.

Arpin (Arp2/3 complex inhibitor), a novel protein found in 2013, plays a pivotal role in cell motility and migration. However, the precise role of Arpin in cancer is unclear. This study investigated the expression of Arpin in breast cancer and evaluated its correlation with the characteristics of clinical pathology and prognosis of breast cancer patients.
