The liver has a key role in drug metabolism, thus the liver toxicity as well as the models of human liver will still be the intense focus. Recently, there is a more accurate liver model with improved testing for a wide range of chemical compounds, reported Nature Biotechnology. It's hopeful for drug development because our livers have been overloaded much.

Do as want is ultimate judgment for any designed device. So please note to use Zhonglin's nanogenerator as a nano-charger or trigger for therapeutic nanomachine. It's a splendid direction really deserved your attention. -
Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms that pack into a honeycomb lattice, can stand up with frozen strain waves. -
Do these findings suggest that we should start a new chapter on full polymer-based electronics with polyaniline nanotubes and films, which is just similar to what we have done well for inorganic carbon nanotube? It may be in time. -
CELL BIOLOGY; PSYCHOLOGY: The U. S. FDA sent a new year's gift to the industries that producing the human foods derived from clones' offspring. The agency believes the safety of animal clones, and therefore strongly intends to issue passport for these foods without source labels. LivelyUpdatedNews: V20070102...0123 -
The incorporation of Laponite nocrystallites into polyurethane can greatly impact the elastic modulus of the polymer. Beyond the underlying refinement and its contribution to material science, this research really pulls us back to think for a while something simple. -

PHYSICS: It is found out that strong oscillations exposed on the laser-excited photoluminescence spectrum of porous alumina film show highly sensitive to the film's thickness and the refractive index. The oscillating period is corresponding to the difference between two longitudinal modes within a Fabry-Pérot optical cavity. The method, designated as Photoluminescence Oscillations, endows photoluminescence spectrum with a fascinating dimension. -
"We captured from across the depths of space our own planet, a pale blue orb, seen amidst the pageantry and colorful splendor of Saturn's rings. Nothing has greater power to alter our perception of ourselves and our place in the cosmos than the sight of Earth from faraway places…" -
Just how mathematical is nature? Is it a dance with pi, e and alpha?... The question of how to calculate the numerical value of the fine structure constant from theory was one of the most outstandingly difficult problems in mathematical physics for the greater part of the 20th century. -
We have paid much attention to make single crystal nanowires, now it is time for nanocrystals with defects, that is, how we can introduce controlled defects such as twinning, stacking faults, and dislocations in nanocrystals? -
The simplest is the most difficult and beautiful. -
The strong piezoelectricity of ZnO nanowires array has been confirmed. It gives a paradigmatic nanogenerator to convert mechanical energy into electricity with a transfer efficiency of 17 to 30%. The method has a great potential for powering nanodevices, and enables implanted biodevices with self-powered ability, enhanced performance, durability and biosafety. -
Dislocations in single crystalline, undoped strontium titanate may be used as small memory-bits. The bistable switching of the conductance between non-metallic and metallic behaviour provides an alternative access to possibly non-volatile memory for high-storage density applications at room temperature. -
Notes: It's p-InN. -
SOCIOLOGY and PSYCHOLOGY: How do we make a right choice? Is it up to empirical intuition or scientific deduction? No matter how elaborate science is, the theme of this world will be always full of happiness and regret, but we can just learn as much as possible to be right... -
SOCIOLOGY: The best songs rarely did poorly, and the worst rarely did well, but any other result was possible...
