Gene Conversion

10.6K
Other than maintaining genome stability via DNA repair, homologous recombination plays an important role in diversifying the genome. In fact, the recombination of sequences forms the molecular basis of genomic evolution. Random and non-random permutations of genomic sequences create a library of new amalgamated sequences. These newly formed genomes can determine the fitness and survival of cells. In bacteria, homologous and non-homologous types of recombination lead to the evolution of new...

Resonance and Hybrid Structures

26.5K
According to the theory of resonance, if two or more Lewis structures with the same arrangement of atoms can be written for a molecule, ion, or radical, the actual distribution of electrons is an average of that shown by the various Lewis structures.
Resonance Structures and Resonance Hybrids
The Lewis structure of a nitrite anion (NO2−) may actually be drawn in two different ways, distinguished by the locations of the N–O and N=O bonds.

Protein-protein Interfaces

14.7K
Many proteins form complexes to carry out their functions, making protein-protein interactions (PPIs) essential for an organism's survival. Most PPIs are stabilized by numerous weak noncovalent chemical forces. The physical shape of the interfaces determines the way two proteins interact. Many globular proteins have closely-matching shapes on their surfaces, which form a large number of weak bonds. Additionally, many PPIs occur between two helices or between a surface cleft and a...

Hybrid Zones

21.9K
Hybrid zones are narrow regions where two closely related species interact, mate, and produce hybrids. Relative to either parent species, hybrids may possess distinct phenotypic or genetic differences that impact their survival and reproductive success. The genetic variances introduced by hybridization influence species diversity and speciation processes within the hybrid zone.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Renewable Energy

Background:

  • Photothermal materials require efficient light absorption and heat transport.
  • Nanoscale fillers offer good absorption but poor dispersibility and high interfacial resistance.
  • Micrometer-scale fillers improve conduction but lack plasmonic properties and have poor light capture due to smooth surfaces.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a multiscale structure and interface strategy for photothermal materials.
  • To overcome limitations of nanoscale and micrometer-scale fillers.
  • To enhance synergy between light collection and heat transport.

Main Methods:

  • Electrodeposition and alloying to create a structured Cu-Zn interface.
  • Formation of bead-chain-like nanostructures along flake edges.
  • Engineering microscale metal fillers for improved interface properties.

Main Results:

  • Achieved through-plane and in-plane thermal conductivities of 1.06 and 2.73 W m⁻¹ K⁻¹ at 8 vol% loading.
  • Demonstrated broadband absorption from 200-800 nm.
  • Exhibited rapid heating to 91.3°C within 30 s under 365 nm illumination.

Conclusions:

  • The multiscale strategy effectively lowers interfacial thermal resistance.
  • The structured interface enhances both light capture and heat transfer.
  • This approach offers a scalable route for interface engineering in photothermal materials for renewable energy applications.
