AlGaN-based materials own direct transition energy bands and wide bandgap and thus can
be used in high-efficiency ultraviolet (UV) emitters and detectors. Over the past two decades, …

… (55) This binding energy is significantly greater than the thermal energy k B T at room
temperature (25 meV), and thus an additional driving energy is required to create free charges. …

Photocatalytic carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) reduction to obtain hydrocarbon solar fuels is one of
the promising strategies to solve energy crisis and complement carbon cycle. However, the …

Background Patients with cancer are a high-risk population in the COVID-19 pandemic. We
aimed to describe clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with cancer and COVID-…

Platinum-based chemotherapy is the standard first-line treatment for advanced esophageal
squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). In this phase 3 study (ClinicalTrial.gov: NCT03829969), …

BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs regulating gene
expression that play roles in the pathogenesis of human diseases, including malignancy. …

Germanium is a promising high-capacity anode material for lithium ion batteries, but it
usually exhibits poor cycling stability because of its huge volume variation during the lithium …

Shoot meristems of plants are composed of stem cells that are continuously replenished
through a classical feedback circuit involving the homeobox WUSCHEL (WUS) gene and the …

Plants evolved so that their flowering is triggered by seasonal changes in day length 1 .
However, day-length sensitivity in crops limits their geographical range of cultivation, and thus …

We report the light-to-heat energy transfer efficiencies of gold nanoparticles with variable
sizes by assessing the temperature profiles of laser-activated particle suspensions in water. …
