Plant cell walls are composites of minute plant fibers interlaced with many different chains of simple sugars, or polymers, that make the structure strong, Carpita said. While studying how cell walls ...

Solar cells based on perovskites, a class of materials with advantageous optoelectronic properties, have recently achieved power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) comparable to those of some silicon ...

So, Lam’s team developed their own, custom-built imaging platform. The cells that star in the team’s wall-building video were protoplasts of Arabidopsis, a small flowering plant belonging to ...

Two-dimensional (2D) assemblies of π-electronic systems, arranged in thin layers, are becoming increasingly important in the fields of materials science and organic electronics. Phys.org ...

Advancing Engineered Plant Living Materials through Tobacco BY-2 Cell Growth and Transfection within Tailored Granular Hydrogel Scaffolds. ACS Central Science , 2024; DOI: 10.1021/acscentsci ...

An innovative analysis of two-dimensional (2D) materials from engineers at the University of Surrey could boost the development of next-generation solar cells and LEDs.

If you die in Dead Cells, well, you're dead. "To finish the game," the PR blurb reads, "you’ll have to master 2D souls-like like combat with the ever-present threat of permadeath looming. No ...

Singaporean researchers have designed a novel thermal-based therapy nano-system that destroys more than 20% of pancreatic cancer cells using microsecond electrical pulses and with excellent bio ...

An international team of researchers has demonstrated a novel solvent process for pure and highly crystalline 2D perovskites, which they demonstrated in 2D/3D perovskite solar cells. A n-i-p ...

Simple sugars apparently are the biological signals needed to maintain the steel-like strength of plant cell walls, according to Purdue University scientists. WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Simple sugars ...
