Reduced ionic conductivity in biaxially compressed ceria [PDF]
Interfacial lattice mismatch strain has been controversially suggested as a means to alter ionic conductivity in solid ion conductors. Here, thin film multilayers composed of yttria-doped ceria (YDC) and Ce1−xZrxO2 (CZO) allow systematic quantification ...

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research
What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?

The oxygen tracer diffusion coefficient describing transport along nano-/microscaled YSZ/Sc2O3 multilayers as a function of the thickness of the ion-conducting YSZ layers has been measured by isotope exchange depth profiling (IEDP), using secondary ion ...

Proton Conductivity of La2(Hf2−xLax)O7−x/2 “Stuffed” Pyrochlores
The design of new oxygen- and proton-conducting materials is of paramount importance for their possible utilization in solid oxide fuel cells. In the present work, La2(Hf2–xLax)O7–x/2 (x = 0, 0.1) ceramics were prepared using ball milling of oxide ...

Impedance characterization of supported oxygen ion conducting electrolytes [PDF]
Abstract Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is a widely used tool to study electrochemical reactions in batteries, fuel cells and other electrochemical energy conversion devices. However, conduction processes in the electrolyte of high temperature fuel or electrolysis cells (SOFC/SOEC) are inaccessible during operation, severely restricting the ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

GelMA‐based 3D spheroids recapitulate transcriptomic and functional hallmarks of myeloid sarcoma
GelMA 5% hydrogels support the formation of myeloid leukemia spheroids that recapitulate MS‐specific features, including G1 arrest, apoptosis, and ECM‐driven transcriptomic reprogramming. The 3D model mimicked soft‐tissue‐like stiffness and oxygen conditions, and transcriptomic convergence with primary MS samples confirmed its utility as a preclinical ...

The C‐terminal domain of yeast Arginyltransferase1 is essential for its catalytic activity
Arginyltransferase 1 (Ate1), a eukaryotic enzyme, catalyses arginylation, transferring arginine from tRNA‐Arg to the amino terminus of the target protein. Overexpression of Ate1 in yeast is lethal and is dependent on arginylation. This study elucidates how mutations in the cofactor‐binding and active site of Ate1 and truncation of its structural ...

Sintering of oxygen ion conductive ceramics and their electrical properties
Oxygen ion conducting ceramics (Sc 2 O 3 ) 0.1 (ZrO 2 ) 0.9 , (Sc 2 O 3 ) 0.1 (CeO 2 ) 0.01 (ZrO 2 ) 0.89 and Ce 0.9 Gd 0.1 O 1.95 were sintered from powders with different specific surface areas. The produced ceramics were studied by scanning electron microscopy and impedance spectroscopy methods.
