A critical challenge in using thermoelectric generators (TEGs) for charging the portable or wearable electronics has been their limited outputs, as available temperature differential on human body (∆ T ext ) is typically less than 10 K. Furthermore, the thermal resistance ( R th ) at the TEG–air interface often overwh…

The balance injection of holes and electrons into a thin emissive quantum dot (QD) layer for efficient radiative recombination is critical to the color purity, stability, and efficiency of the QD‐based light‐emitting diodes (QD‐LEDs). Due to the difficulty of charge injection into wide band gap blue QD layer, the perf…

In this study, a new broadband and conformal metamaterial absorber using two flexible substrates was proposed. Simulation results showed that the proposed absorber exhibited an absorption band from 6.08 to 13.04 GHz and a high absorption of 90%, because it was planar. The absorber was broadband as its relative absorpt…

Mycothiol (MSH) is the major low molecular weight (LMW) thiol in Actinomycetes. Here, we used shotgun proteomics, OxICAT and RNA-seq transcriptomics to analyse protein S-mycothiolation, reversible thiol-oxidations and their impact on gene expression in Mycobacterium smegmatis under hypochlorite stress. In total, 58 S-…

A variable temperature neutron diffraction study of the novel oxide ion conductor Ba 3 MoNbO 8.5 has been performed between 25 and 600 °C. Nonmonotonic behavior of the cell parameters, bond lengths, and angles are observed indicating a structural rearrangement above 300 °C. The oxygen/vacancy distribution changes as t…

The interface between metal and reducible oxide has attracted increasing interest in catalysis. The FeO x –Pt interface has been a typical example, which showed remarkable activity for the preferential oxidation of CO (PROX) at low temperatures. However, model catalytic studies under vacuum conditions or in high-press…
