Breaking the graphite barrier Traditional lithium-ion batteries rely on graphite as an anode material. However, the same graphite structure fails when it comes to sodium or potassium. Their atoms ...

Detergents and lipid nanodiscs affect the cryo-EM structures of pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs) including ELIC. To determine the structure of a pLGIC in a membrane environment that ...

The authors, Dalal, et. al., determined cryo-EM structures of open, closed, and desensitized states of the pentameric ligand-gated ion channel ELIC reconstituted in liposomes, and compared them to ...

Abstract: Heavy ion induced failures in SiO2 and SiO2/Si3N4 composite capacitors were studied for ion linear energy transfers (LETs) from 15 to 85 MeV/(mg/cm2). Key findings of this study were the ...
