Abstract

Since their discovery in 1991, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted significant attention because of their remarkable mechanical, electronic, and optical properties. Structural uniformity of the CNT is critically important because the sidewall structures (armchair, zigzag, and chiral) determine many of the significant properties of CNTs. Ideally researchers would synthesize CNTs with a defined target sidewall structure and diameter, but the current synthetic methods, such as arc discharge and chemical vapor deposition, only provide CNTs as the mixtures of various structures. Purification of these mixtures does not allow researchers to isolate a structurally uniform CNT, which is the bottleneck for fundamental studies and advanced applications of these materials. Therefore, the selective and predictable synthesis of structurally uniform CNTs would represent a critical advance in both nanocarbon science and synthetic chemistry. This Account highlights our efforts toward the bottom-up synthesis of structurally uniform carbon nanotubes (CNTs). We envisioned a bottom-up synthesis of structurally uniform CNTs through a controlled growth process from a short carbon nanoring (template) that corresponds to the target structure of CNTs...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.
