Innovations are crucial for transferring high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) to large‐scale perovskite devices. Here, a 2D regulated gas flow control for batch‐drying of slot‐die‐coated perovskite films is introduced. This drying method achieves homogeneous, pinhole‐free large‐area perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells and perovskite solar ...

Model plasma membrane indicates the inner leaflet is poised to initiate compositional heterogeneities [PDF]
We investigate a model of an asymmetric bilayer consisting of sphigomyelin, phosphatidylcholine, and cholesterol in the outer leaflet, and phosphatidyl\-ethanolamine, (PE), phosphatidylserine, and cholesterol in the inner leaflet. Composition fluctuations are coupled to membrane fluctuations via the bending energy which depends upon the local ...

Defect formation of lytic peptides in lipid membranes and their influence on the thermodynamic properties of the pore environment [PDF]
We present an experimental study of the pore formation processes of small amphipathic peptides in model phosphocholine lipid membranes. We used atomic force microscopy to characterize the spatial organization and structure of alamethicin- and melittin ...

Diglycerides of Natural Phenols and Organic Acids for Enhanced Biological Activities
Diglycerides of natural organic acids and phenols were synthesized regio‐selectively. Diglycerides are structurally similar to cell membranes and are expected to exhibit cell affinity and permeability. The flexible glycerol linkers allow the diglycerides to exhibit not only the physiological activities of each constituent organic acid but also the ...

Effect of phospholipids and bile acids on cholesterol nucleation time and vesicular/micellar cholesterol in gallbladder bile of patients with cholesterol stones [PDF]
Supersaturation and rapid nucleation of cholesterol in bile are of key importance in the pathogenesis of cholesterol gallstones. While the effects of bile acids and phospholipids on cholesterol saturation of bile have been extensively studied, their ...

Synthesis and structural characterization of a mimetic membrane-anchored prion protein [PDF]
During pathogenesis of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) an abnormal form (PrPSc) of the host encoded prion protein (PrPC) accumulates in insoluble fibrils and plaques. The two forms of PrP appear to have identical covalent structures, but

Non‐targeted metabolite profiling reveals biochemical diversity of three East Asian mosses
Mosses are known for their bioactive composition and adaptation to environmental stresses. This study explores the metabolic diversity of three East Asian moss species, Niphotrichum japonicum, Calohypnum plumiforme, and Polytrichum formosum, using high‐resolution mass spectrometry. Lipids, particularly unsaturated fatty acids linked to cold adaptation,

The contribution of extracellular RNA and its derived biomaterials in disease management
The implications of exRNA's biological function and the structural uniqueness of RNA help establish a close connection between RNA, material, and modern medicine. Abstract The RNA found in the circular system is known as extracellular RNA (exRNA). This kind of RNA has been found to play a biological role similar to that of a messenger. They can be used
