Abstract

The zero/negative thermal expansion (ZTE/NTE), which is an intriguing physical property of solids, has been observed in a few families of materials. ZTE materials possess practical applications in specific circumstances such as space-related applications, engineering structures and precision instrument. Generally, NTE materials are used as additives to form a composite of the ZTE material with positive thermal expansion material. It is still a tremendous challenge to design new families of ZTE/NTE materials. Herein, we presented a temperature-dependent single crystal structure analysis in 110-300 K for a layered (NH4)2V3O8, which crystallizes in a tetragonal space group P4bm and comprises mixed valence [V3O82-]∞ monolayers and NH4+ residual in the interlayer spaces. Along the c-axis, (NH4)2V3O8 demonstrated uniaxial expansion behaviors, i.e., ZTE with αc = -1.10 × 10-6 K-1 in 110-170 K and NTE with αc = -16.25 × 10-6 K-1 in 170-220 K. Along the a-axis, (NH4)2V3O8 exhibited ZTE with αa = + 2.06 × 10-6 K-1 in 240-300 K. The mechanisms of ZTE and NTE were explored using structural analysis. The conduction of NH4+ ions in the interlayer space was studied, indicating that the conductivity rapidly rises with the expansion of interlay...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.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
