Liquid exfoliation is a scalable and effective method for synthesizing 2D nanosheets (NSs) but often induces contamination and defects. Here, liquid metal gallium (Ga) is used to exfoliate bulk layered materials into 2D NSs at near room temperature, utilizing the liquid surface tension and Ga intercalation to disrupt Van der Waals (vdW) forces. In addition, the process can transform the 2H-phase of transition metal dichalcogenides into the 1T'-phase under ambient conditions.

Planck's law ignores but does not prohibit black-body radiation (BBR) from being circularly polarized. BBR from nanostructured filaments with twisted geometry from nanocarbon or metal has strong ellipticity from 500 to 3000 nanometers. The submicrometer-scale chirality of these filaments satisfies the dimensionality requirements imposed by fluctuation-dissipation theorem and requires symmetry breaking in absorptivity and emissivity according to Kirchhoff's law.

Purpose: Developing T cell or vaccine therapies for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has been challenging due to a lack of knowledge regarding immunodominant, cancer-specific antigens, as a scarcity of genomic mutation-associated neoepitopes characterizes PDAC and there are limited availability of effective approaches to discover them.
Experimental Design: We utilized an advanced mass spectrometry approach to compare the immunopeptidome of PDAC tissues and matched normal tissues from the same patients.
Results: We identified HLA class I-binding variant peptides derived from canonical proteins, which had single amino-acid substitutions not attributed to genetic mutations or RNA editing.

Both trabecular and cortical bone undergo changes at multiple scales. We previously demonstrated the multi-scale changes in trabecular bone quality that contribute to bone fragility in type 2 diabetes (T2D). The link between increased fragility in T2D and multi-scale changes in cortical bone and their interaction with glycation remains unclear.

Dengue viruses (DENV) are transmitted to humans through mosquito bites and infect millions globally. DENV uses heparan sulfate (HS) for attachment and cell entry by binding the envelope protein to highly sulfated HS on target cells. Therefore, inhibiting the binding between DENV and HS could be a promising strategy for preventing DENV infection.

Exciton-polariton condensates, due to their nonlinear and coherent characteristics, have been employed to construct spin Hamiltonian lattices for potentially studying spin glass, critical dephasing, and even solving optimization problems. Here, we report the room-temperature polariton condensation and polaritonic soft-spin XY Hamiltonian lattices in an organic-inorganic halide perovskite microcavity. This is achieved through the direct integration of high-quality single-crystal samples within the cavity.

Here we investigated the effects of Ce and Mo doping on hydrothermally synthesized bismuth vanadate BiVO nanoparticles (NPs). The existence of monoclinic scheelite and tetragonal zircon phases of NPs was validated from Rietveld refinement of the powdered X-ray diffraction, room temperature Raman, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The co-doping of Bi and V sites with respective Ce and Mo dopants in a mixed tetragonal zircon and monoclinic scheelite phases of BiVO lattice was corroborated from high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

The people of New York have long benefited from the state's diversity of ecosystems, which range from coastal shorelines and wetlands to extensive forests and mountaintop alpine habitat, and from lakes and rivers to greenspaces in heavily populated urban areas. These ecosystems provide key services such as food, water, forest products, flood prevention, carbon storage, climate moderation, recreational opportunities, and other cultural services. This chapter examines how changes in climatic conditions across the state are affecting different types of ecosystems and the services they provide, and considers likely future impacts of projected climate change.

Background: Surgical planning for orthognathic procedures demands swift and accurate biomechanical modeling of facial soft tissues. Efficient simulations are vital in the clinical pipeline, as surgeons may iterate through multiple plans. Biomechanical simulations typically use the finite element method (FEM).

Introduction: The molecular mechanisms underlying pressure adaptation remain largely unexplored, despite their significance for understanding biological adaptation and improving sterilization methods in the food and beverage industry. The heat shock response leads to a global stabilization of the proteome. Prior research suggested that the heat shock regulon may exhibit a transcriptional response to high-pressure stress.

The hybrid organic-inorganic halide perovskite (HOIP), for example, MAPbBr, exhibits extended spin lifetime and apparent spin lifetime anisotropy in experiments. The underlying mechanisms of these phenomena remain illusive. By utilizing our first-principles density-matrix dynamics approach with quantum scatterings including electron-phonon and electron-electron interactions and self-consistent spin-orbit coupling, we present temperature- and magnetic field-dependent spin lifetimes in hybrid perovskites, in agreement with experimental observations.

Photosystem I (PS I) is a light-driven oxidoreductase responsible for converting photons into chemical bond energy. Its application for renewable energy was revolutionized by the creation of the MenB deletion (Δ) variant in the cyanobacterium sp. PCC 6803, in which phylloquinone is replaced by plastoquinone-9 with a low binding affinity.

Nonlinear optical responses in two-dimensional (2D) materials can build free-space optical neuromorphic computing systems. Ensuring the high performance and the tunability of the system is essential to encode diverse functions. However, common strategies, including the integration of external electrode arrays or photonic structures with 2D materials, and barely patterned 2D materials, exhibit a contradiction between performance and tunability.

Trastuzumab (TZM) is a monoclonal antibody that targets the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and is clinically used for the treatment of HER2-positive breast tumors. However, the tumor microenvironment can limit the access of TZM to the HER2 targets across the whole tumor and thereby compromising TZM's therapeutic efficacy. An imaging methodology that can non-invasively quantify the binding of TZM-HER2, which is required for therapeutic action, and distribution within tumors with varying tumor microenvironments is much needed.
