Timeline

  1. Physics World

    Polymer tuning of perovskite crystallization yielded stable underwater solar cells that operate on filtered light.

  2. Phys.org

    Peptide-based polymers were proposed as a new class of antibiotics: they kill bacteria on contact, and resistance does not develop.

  3. PNAS

    The CTNNB1–TRIM28 complex determines how hormones alter RNA polymerase II activity in renal epithelial cells.

  4. Physics World

    A bilayer of graphene oxide raised the efficiency of fully perovskite triple-junction solar cells to 27.3% and extended their operation.

  5. PNAS

    Actin filaments in membrane nanotubes contract without myosin II due to the polymer assembly itself.

  6. PNAS

    A model was created for dividing yeasts that links genome organization with chromatin movement.
