mRNA Transport in Fungal Top Models

mRNA Transport in Fungal Top Models

The study of simple fungal model organisms provides valuable insights into fundamental mechanisms of mRNA transport boosting the understanding of similar events in higher eukaryotes.

Harnessing the Marangoni Effect in Semiconductor Manufacturing

Harnessing the Marangoni Effect in Semiconductor Manufacturing

Researchers from the University of Hong Kong report how solution shearing of organic semiconductor crystals is influenced by a surface tension gradient. Using a Marangoni-effect-assisted bar coating method, ultrathin, uniform layers of crystals with large domain sizes are obtained that show excellent performance in organic field-effect transistors.
