  • Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a viral disease spread by ticks, showing variable effects on humans depending on region and virus strain.* -
  • In a study conducted in northwest Hubei Province, China, serum samples from 83 patients were tested, revealing 13 positive cases for SFTSV and identifying at least 2 genotypes.* -
  • Key symptoms like bleeding and altered consciousness, along with lab findings such as elevated AST and APTT, can help predict patient prognosis, highlighting the need for further research on monitoring these markers for effective management.*

Several borophenes have been prepared successfully, but the synthesis of boron nanotubes is still very difficult. Our results suggest that the high flexibility of borophene in combination with van der Waals interactions makes it possible to coil boron nanotubes from rippled borophenes, which is confirmed by molecular dynamics simulations. The plane structures transform into rippled structures almost without any barrier under very small compression and weak perturbations like molecular adsorption.
