The precise mechanisms that control and form animal structure remain unclear. Using an model of corneal development, we directly observed the detailed motion of human cells as they began making the incipient fine filaments destined to be woven into the durable structure that becomes a tissue. To produce these initial filaments, we observed that the cells must contract toward themselves and away from

Rice grains integrated with animal cells: A shortcut to a sustainable food system Matter (IF 18.9) Pub Date : 2024-02-14 Sohyeon Park, Milae Lee, Sungwon Jung, Hyun Lee, Bumgyu Choi, Moonhyun Choi, Jeong Min Lee, Ki Hyun Yoo, Dongoh Han, Seung Tae Lee, Won-Gun Koh, Geul Bang, Heeyoun Hwang, Sangmin Lee, Jinkee Hong
A novel food ingredient that can overcome humanity’s food crisis has been created. Rice grains, a common food ingredient, are coated with gelatin and food enzymes to become a home for cells that can contain many animal cells. Bovine muscle cells and fat cells grow and organize on the surface and inside the rice grain. This product is reminiscent of microbeef sushi and has a different texture, nutritional

Lowering the kinetic barrier via enhancing electrophilicity of surface oxygen to boost acidic oxygen evolution reaction Matter (IF 18.9) Pub Date : 2024-02-14 Ning Han, Xuan Zhang, Chi Zhang, Shihui Feng, Wei Zhang, Wei Guo, Runtian Zheng, Renji Zheng, Pengyun Liu, Yu Li, Jan Fransaer, Bao-Lian Su
Tremendous energy is required to break the strong covalent O-H bond of HO in acidic media, resulting in sluggish OER kinetics. Herein, the authors report a one-stone-two-birds strategy to effectively enhance the electrophilicity of surface oxygen, assisting absorption and facilitating dissociation of HO, which essentially leads to ultrahigh OER activity in acidic media.

In contrast to traditional lithium-ion battery (LIB) ionogels requiring at least 20 wt % polymer or inorganic gelator, our approach utilizes 12-HOA, a low-molecular-weight gelator, to immobilize lithium salt-containing ionic liquids (ILs) at a mere 2 wt % concentration. This results in a distinctive supramolecular ionogel with high ionic conductivity akin to neat ILs, enhanced electrochemical stability

Tailoring atomic strain environment for high-performance acidic oxygen reduction by Fe-Ru dual atoms communicative effect Matter (IF 18.9) Pub Date : 2024-02-08 Lingfeng Li, Jiaming Zhu, Fanpeng Kong, Yijie Wang, Cong Kang, Ming Xu, Chunyu Du, Geping Yin
This work reports that the communicative effect of dual atoms exclusively affects the atomic strain geometry of Fe single sites. Fe-Ru dual atoms with the moderate strain environment achieve superior activity toward acidic oxygen reduction, with a half-wave potential of 0.86 V. The gently strained Fe sites promote more electrons to occupy antibonding orbitals, further accelerating the reductive desorption

The purported synthesis of “holey graphyne” fails replication Matter (IF 18.9) Pub Date : 2024-02-07 Victor G. Desyatkin, Claire M. Bolding, Valentin O. Rodionov
A recent article by Ryu, Lee, and co-workers claims synthesis of “holey graphyne,” a strained sp/sp carbon lattice featuring a repeating dibenzo-1,5-cyclooctadiene-3,7-diyne motif. Here, we describe the replication of the key experiments from this article. We did not observe the formation of holey graphyne under the reported conditions.
