Antiviral activity of animal venom peptides and related compounds [PDF]
, 2017 Viruses exhibit rapid mutational capacity to trick and infect host cells, sometimes assisted through virus-coded peptides that counteract host cellular immune defense.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A Cu nanowire/AlOx core‐shell catalyst is reported for CO2 electroreduction. Acting as a Lewis acid, the AlOx shell not only stabilizes Cu+ species at the Cu─O─Al interface but also creates an alkaline local microenvironment via *OH adsorption. This dual functionality stabilizes the catalyst structure while promoting the C─C coupling process, resulting

Secretory Phospholipases A2 in Plants [PDF]
, 2019 Secreted phospholipases (sPLA2s) in plants are a growing group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of sn-2 glycerophospholipids to lysophospholipids and free fatty acids. Until today, around only 20 sPLA2s were reported from plants.

Imperfection in Semiconductors Leading to High Performance Devices
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Crystalline perfection is typically pursued in semiconductors to enhance device performance. However, through modeling and experimental work, we show that defects can be strategically employed in a specific detection regime to increase sensitivity to extreme values. GaN diodes are demonstrated to effectively detect high‐energy proton beams at fluxes as

Workers and alate queens of Solenopsis geminata share qualitatively similar but quantitatively different venom alkaloid chemistry [PDF]
, 2015 Solenopsis geminata group (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) encompasses ant species commonly called fire ants because of their painful sting. The many physiological effects of the venom are caused by 2-methyl-6-alkyl and/or alkenylpiperidine alkaloids.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Ultrathin oxide layer and ultraviolet absorbent are introduced into polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) polyimide to improve the transmittance conservation and realize near zero mass loss against ultraviolet and atomic oxygen exposures. The POSS polyimide composite sealed triple‐junction GaAs thin‐film solar cell exhibits enhanced endurance of ...
