Nanodiscs are discoloidal protein-lipid particles that self-assemble from a mixture of lipids and membrane scaffold proteins. They form a highly soluble membrane mimetic that closely resembles a native-like lipid environment, unlike micelles. Nanodiscs are widely used for experimental studies of membrane proteins. In…

Controlling the growth of eutectic Si and thereby modifying the eutectic Si from flake-like to fibrous is a key factor in improving the properties of Al-Si alloys. To date, it is generally accepted that the impurity-induced twinning (IIT) mechanism and the twin plane re-entrant edge (TPRE) mechanism as well as poisoni…
