Isothermal Growth and Stacking Evolution in Highly Uniform Bernal-Stacked Bilayer Graphene.

Controlling the stacking order in bilayer graphene (BLG) allows realizing interesting physical properties. In particular, the possibility of tuning the band gap in Bernal-stacked (AB) BLG (AB-BLG) has a great technological importance for electronic and optoelectronic applications. Most of the current methods to produce AB-BLG suffer from inhomogeneous layer thickness and/or coexistence with twisted BLG.

Highly Conductive and Transparent Large-Area Bilayer Graphene Realized by MoCl Intercalation.

Bilayer graphene (BLG) comprises a 2D nanospace sandwiched by two parallel graphene sheets that can be used to intercalate molecules or ions for attaining novel functionalities. However, intercalation is mostly demonstrated with small, exfoliated graphene flakes. This study demonstrates intercalation of molybdenum chloride (MoCl ) into a large-area, uniform BLG sheet, which is grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD).

CAPS1 RNA Editing Promotes Dense Core Vesicle Exocytosis.

Calcium-dependent activator protein for secretion 1 (CAPS1) plays a distinct role in the priming step of dense core vesicle (DCV) exocytosis. CAPS1 pre-mRNA is known to undergo adenosine-to-inosine RNA editing in its coding region, which results in a glutamate-to-glycine conversion at a site in its C-terminal region. However, the physiological significance of CAPS1 RNA editing remains elusive.
