Immunity to CRISPR Cas9 and Cas12a Therapeutics
Genome-editing therapeutics introduce foreign nucleic acids and proteins into the circulation and cells, which can activate the innate, cellular, and humoral immunity in human patients. The key obstacle in translating CRISPR therapeutics to the clinic is hence to identify, diminish, and monitor these immunological risks before adverse immune reactions.
Thermal Runaway-Induced Rupture Mechanisms of Lithium Ion Batteries
Batteries from a variety of manufacturers are examined using high-speed X-ray imaging to determine their failure mechanisms during thermal runaway.
Printing Flexible Graphene Supercapacitors
A new printing method produces flexible graphene microsupercapacitors with a planar architecture, suitable for integration in portable electronic devices.
Selective and Versatile Membrane for Nanofiltration Applications
Suzana P. Nunes, Klaus-Viktor Peinemann, and co-workers from the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia describe a selective membrane with functionalized nanochannels formed by self-assembly of a hydrophobic block copolymer for nanofiltration applications.
Advances in Metal Foams
A special section of Advanced Engineering Materials features a selection of the papers presented during the 9th International Conference on Porous Metals and Metallic Foams (MetFoam 2015), which was held in Barcelona.
No Crying Over Spilled Milk: New Plasma Treatment To Keep Milk Fresh
Australian researchers have developed a promising new plasma treatment method to decontaminate and increase the shelf life of milk.
Breaking free from vascular confinement: status and prospects for submicron ultrasound contrast agents
In contrast to healthy tissue, tumors demand a high supply of nutrients and oxygen, and will invade existing vessels and develop new ones to meet these demands.
A Bright Future For InGaN Photonic Crystal Light Emitters
Via a bottom-up approach this research shows the production of scalable, stable InGaN nanowire photonic crystals for high efficient LEDs.
Flexible Solar Cell for Wearable Electronics Produced by Green Printing Process
Fengyu Li and Yanlin Song from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with their co-workers, have designed high-performance flexible perovskite solar cells (PSCs) for wearable electronics using green printing technology.
