Pulsed Laser Deposition of Thin Films
In 1964 Smith and Turner provided the first ever proof of concept for the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) of thin films. The ability of PLD to deposit multicomponent oxide materia...

Charge-insensitive qubit design derived from the Cooper pair box
Short dephasing times pose one of the main challenges in realizing a quantum computer. Different approaches have been devised to cure this problem for superconducting qubits, a ...
Emerging threats and persistent conservation challenges for freshwater biodiversity
ABSTRACT In the 12 years since Dudgeon et al . (2006) reviewed major pressures on freshwater ecosystems, the biodiversity crisis in the world's lakes, reservoirs, rivers, stream...
Impaired type I interferon activity and inflammatory responses in severe COVID-19 patients
Interferons interfere with lung repair Interferons (IFNs) are central to antiviral immunity. Viral recognition elicits IFN production, which in turn triggers the transcription o...
InterProScan: protein domains identifier
InterProScan [E. M. Zdobnov and R. Apweiler (2001) Bioinformatics, 17, 847-848] is a tool that combines different protein signature recognition methods from the InterPro [N. J. ...
The effect of human mobility and control measures on the COVID-19 epidemic in China
Tracing infection from mobility data What sort of measures are required to contain the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome–coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which causes coron...
The Lancet Commission on global mental health and sustainable development
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) represent an exponential advance from the Millennium Development Goals, with a substantially broader agenda affecting all nations and re...
Exposure to ideologically diverse news and opinion on Facebook
Not getting all sides of the news? People are increasingly turning away from mass media to social media as a way of learning news and civic information. Bakshy et al. examined t...
Immunological memory to SARS-CoV-2 assessed for up to 8 months after infection
Variable memory Immune memory against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) helps to determine protection against reinfection, disease risk, and vaccine e...
Declining oxygen in the global ocean and coastal waters
Beneath the waves, oxygen disappears As plastic waste pollutes the oceans and fish stocks decline, unseen below the surface another problem grows: deoxygenation. Breitburg et al...
Recognition of RNA N6-methyladenosine by IGF2BP proteins enhances mRNA stability and translation
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent modification in eukaryotic messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and is interpreted by its readers, such as YTH domain-containing proteins, to re...
Genomic correlates of response to CTLA-4 blockade in metastatic melanoma
Is cancer immunotherapy a private affair? Immune checkpoint blockade, a relatively new cancer treatment, substantially extends the survival of a subset of patients. Previous wor...
