The multifarious internal workings of organisms are difficult to reconcile with a single feature defining a state of ‘being alive’. Indeed, definitions of life rely on emergent properties (growth, capacity to evolve, agency) only symptomatic of intrinsic functioning. Empirical studies demonstrate that biomolecules including ratcheting/rotating enzymes,

Universal mechanical exfoliation of large-area 2D crystals [PDF]
Two-dimensional materials provide extraordinary opportunities for exploring phenomena arising in atomically thin crystals. Beginning with the first isolation of graphene, mechanical exfoliation has been a key to provide high-quality two-dimensional ...

Boron Monochalcogenides; Stable and Strong Two-Dimensional Wide Band-Gap Semiconductors
In this short communication, we conducted first-principles calculations to explore the stability of boron monochalcogenides (BX, X = S, Se or Te), as a new class of two-dimensional (2D) materials.

Significance of Intermittent Mixing in Mesophilic Anaerobic Digester
The mixing of slurry in an anaerobic digester (AD) is one of many key parameters, which have a significant effect on specific biogas yield (BY) and volatile solid (VS) removal rate.
