There has been a controversial debate of whether urea can be regarded as structure breaker or a structure maker. Here, we present concentration and temperature dependent absorption coefficients of urea-water mixtures in the THz range (1.5-10 THz, 50-350 cm(-1)). Our results are in agreement with the hypothesis that ur…

Photonic crystals (PhCs) are periodically structured optical media offering the opportunity for spontaneous emission (SpE) to be strongly controlled in spatial terms (directions) or in absolute terms (rates). We discuss the application of this concept for practical light-emitting sources, summarizing the principles an…

Although graphitic C 3 N 4 (g-C 3 N 4 ) has been demonstrated to be a potential candidate for solar cell absorber and photovoltaic materials, the application has been limited by the low photoconversion efficiency in the visible range. Here, we explored that a g-C 3 N 4 bilayer has much better visible-light adsorption…

Deregulated microRNAs (miRNAs) and their roles in cancer development have attracted much attention. Two miRNAs, miR-15a and miR-16, which act as putative tumor suppressor by targeting the oncogene BCL2, have been implicated in cell cycle, apoptosis and proliferation. In this study, we investigated the possible role of…
