The superhydrophobicity of polymer surfaces: Recent developments [PDF]

Journal of Polymer Science Part B: Polymer Physics, 2011
AbstractSuperhydrophobicity is the extreme water repellence of highly textured surfaces. The field of superhydrophobicity research has reached a stage where huge numbers of candidate treatments have been proposed and jumps have been made in theoretically describing them.

Texturing polymer surfaces by transfer casting [PDF]

, 1982
A technique for fabricating textured surfaces on polymers without altering their surface chemistries is described. A surface of a fluorocarbon polymer is exposed to a beam of ions to texture it.

Revealing the structure of land plant photosystem II: the journey from negative‐stain EM to cryo‐EM

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Advances in cryo‐EM have revealed the detailed structure of Photosystem II, a key protein complex driving photosynthesis. This review traces the journey from early low‐resolution images to high‐resolution models, highlighting how these discoveries deepen our understanding of light harvesting and energy conversion in plants.

Breach and restoration of retinal immune privilege: barrier failure, innate dysregulation, and adaptive autoimmunity

Frontiers in Immunology
The retina preserves vision by tightly regulating inflammation (“immune privilege”) via blood–retinal barriers, neuroglial checkpoints, and tolerogenic cues.

The cascade of global trade to large climate forcing over the Tibetan Plateau glaciers

Nature Communications, 2019
To trace the sources of Black Carbon being transported into the Tibetan Plateau is crucial for guiding an effective mitigation strategy. Here the authors utilized the adjoint of the Goddard Earth Observing System-Chem model and find that international ...

Different Patterns in Daytime and Nighttime Thermal Effects of Urbanization in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Urban Agglomeration

Remote Sensing, 2017
Surface urban heat island (SUHI) in the context of urbanization has gained much attention in recent decades; however, the seasonal variations of SUHI and their drivers are still not well documented.

The Development of the Surface Structures in Dividing Bacteria [PDF]

Journal of General Microbiology, 1951
SUMMARY: The cell wall of growing Gram-negative bacteria is formed mainly, or entirely, at one pole of the cell. At this point the cell wall is soft and transparent to the electron beam, and there is a concentration of stainable material in the underlying cell membrane. A similar ‘growing point’ occurs at the point of cell division.

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)
