A study of the self-assembly of nonane-alkanedithiol monolayers on gold in n-hexane and
ethanol solvents is presented. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are characterised by …

Ferroelectric-semiconductor nanostructures can exhibit enhanced photocatalytic activity
benefiting from charge separation and transport facilitated by a spontaneous polarization-…

Copper powders were thermally treated in the air at a wide temperature range of 200–700 C.
It was found that thin CuO nanowires were grown at 300 C and thick CuO nanowires were …

Background Budding yeast is a unique model for exploring differential fate in a cell dividing
asymmetrically. In yeast, spindle orientation begins with the old spindle pole body (SPB) (…

The closing time of the Paleo-Asian Ocean (PAO) has long been in the focus of research as
well as of controversial debates. The Paleozoic A-type granites distributed in the Beishan …

Asymmetric astral microtubule organization drives the polarized orientation of the S. cerevisiae
mitotic spindle and primes the invariant inheritance of the old spindle pole body (SPB, the …

Late Paleozoic plutons are widely distributed in the Alxa region, southernmost Central Asian
Orogenic Belt, and provided an important clue in constraint for the closing time of the Paleo-…

To reveal the tectonic dynamic setting and timing of the ocean-continent transform in the
southern Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), the geochronological data, major and trace …

Electrowetting is a widely used and effective method to tune the wettability of ionic liquids at
solid-liquid interfaces, but it usually requires an external electric field. Here, we proposed a …

Mitotic exit is determined by multiple spatial and temporal cues from the spindle poles and
the two compartments in a dividing yeast cell—the mother and the bud. These signals are …
