The van der Waals thiophosphate GaPS presents additional opportunities for gallium-based semiconductors, but limited research on phonon interactions has hindered optimization on thermal properties. This research undertakes a comprehensive investigation into the anharmonic phonon scattering within GaPS. The findings reveal pronounced anharmonic scattering, with both cubic and quartic phonon scatterings significantly influencing phonon redshift and broadening.

Rapid enzyme immobilization is essential for enzyme catalysis and sensing applications, yet constructing effective immobilization systems is challenging due to the need to balance enzyme activity with the properties of the surrounding framework. Herein, taking glucose oxidase (GOx) as a model, a rapid and straightforward approach was presented for synthesizing palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs)-decorated GOx encapsulated in HOF-101 nanocomposite materials (designated as PdNPs/GOx@HOF-101) through an in situ photoreduction and enzyme-triggering HOF-101 encapsulation. The enzyme's surface residues trigger the nucleation of HOF-101 around it through the hydrogen-bonded bio interface, completing the self-assembly of HOF-101 in 0.

As a typical chromogenic probe, 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) has been widely applied in the field of visual detection due to its low toxicity and highly sensitive response. Due to the hydrophobic nature of TMB, encapsulating it into a hydrogel, which serves as an ideal matrix for wearable sensors, presents significant challenges that complicate the fabrication of visual wearable devices. Herein, the TMB probe and bimetallic MOF nanozymes are coencapsulated in a hydrogel patch for the fabrication of reusable visual sensors.

Rising wide bandgap semiconductor gallium oxide (GaO) displays huge potential in performing solar-blind photodetection, with constraint in narrow detection wavebands in nature, whereas bandgap modulation through the introduction of exotic atoms into GaO has an essential effect on the tunable performance of photodetectors and the detection waveband. Here, a novel method for the preparation of (InGa)O alloy films is proposed, and the continuous tuning of the bandgap in the range of 3.70-4.

FOXG1 syndrome is a developmental encephalopathy caused by FOXG1 (Forkhead box G1) mutations, resulting in high phenotypic variability. However, the upstream transcriptional regulation of Foxg1 expression remains unclear. This report demonstrates that both deficiency and overexpression of Men1 (protein: menin, a pathogenic gene of MEN1 syndrome known as multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1) lead to autism-like behaviors, such as social defects, increased repetitive behaviors, and cognitive impairments.

As an ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor, gallium oxide (GaO) has been extensively applied in solar-blind photodetectors (PDs) owing to the absorbance cut-off wavelength of shorter than 280 nm, and the optimized technologies of detection performance is seriously essential for its further usages. Herein, a feasible thermal reorder engineering method was performed through annealing GaOfilms in vacuum, Oand oxygen plasma atmospheres, realizing to tune solar-blind photosensing performance of GaOPDs. Thermal treatment, in fact a crystal reorder process, significantly suppressed the noise in GaO-based PDs and enhanced the photo-sensitivity, with the dark current decreasing from 154.

Background: L-Leucine is a high-value amino acid with promising applications in the medicine and feed industries. However, the complex metabolic network and intracellular redox imbalance in fermentative microbes limit their efficient biosynthesis of L-leucine.

Results: In this study, we applied rational metabolic engineering and a dynamic regulation strategy to construct a plasmid-free, non-auxotrophic Escherichia coli strain that overproduces L-leucine.
