    Abstract Releasing pre-strained two-dimensional nanomembranes to assemble on-chip three-dimensional devices is crucial for upcoming advanced electronic and optoelectronic applications. However, the release process is affected by many unclear factors, hindering the transition from laboratory to industrial applications. Here, we propose a quasistatic multilevel finite element modeling to assemble three-dimensional structures from two-dimensional nanomembranes and offer verification results by various bilayer nanomembranes. Take Si/Cr nanomembrane as an example, we confirm that the three-dimensional structural formation is governed by both the minimum energy state and the geometric constraints imposed by the edges of the sacrificial layer. Large-scale, high-yield fabrication of three-dimensional structures is achieved, and two distinct three-dimensional structures are assembled from the same precursor. Six types of three-dimensional Si/Cr photodetectors are then prepared to resolve the incident angle of light with a deep neural network model, opening up possibilities for the design and manufacturing methods of More-than-Moore-era devices.

    Abstract Cytochrome P450 enzymes play important roles in the biosynthesis of macrolide antibiotics by mediating a vast variety of regio- and stereoselective oxidative modifications, thus improving their chemical diversity, biological activities, and pharmaceutical properties. Tremendous efforts have been made on engineering the reactivity and selectivity of these useful biocatalysts. However, the 20 proteinogenic amino acids cannot always satisfy the requirement of site-directed/random mutagenesis and rational protein design of P450 enzymes. To address this issue, herein, we practice the semi-rational non-canonical amino acid mutagenesis for the pikromycin biosynthetic P450 enzyme PikC, which recognizes its native macrolide substrates with a 12- or 14-membered ring macrolactone linked to a deoxyamino sugar through a unique sugar-anchoring mechanism. Based on a semi-rationally designed substrate binding strategy, non-canonical amino acid mutagenesis at the His238 position enables the unnatural activities of several PikC mutants towards the macrolactone precursors without any sugar appendix. With the aglycone hydroxylating activities, the pikromycin biosynthetic pathway is rewired by the representative mutant PikC

    Abstract In this work, cerium (Ce)-doped NiCo-MOF (metal organic framework) was investigated for its application as a cathode material of alkaline batteries. Inert substitution of Ni/Co by Ce in MOF can make Ce to become part of the backbone of the framework and then ensure structure stability during redox reaction, which greatly improved charge and discharge cycle stability. With dopant mole fraction up to 5%, the redox potential of NiCo-MOF increased by 85%. Adequate Ce doping can potentially enhance rate capacity dramatically due to the large ion radius that provided an extra space for electrolyte ion shutting channel. 1% Ce-doped NiCo-MOF, having a capacity of 286 mA h g

    Abstract Human ferritin has been explored as a potential drug nanocarrier, but extreme conditions (pH ≤ 2.0) are required for the encapsulation of drugs. Here, by engineering the AB loop of ferritin, we obtained a new ferritin variant with no new pores, which can disassemble at pH 3.0 or 4.0 and reassemble at pH 7.0. Consequently, under mild conditions, drugs can be encapsulated within this new ferritin nanocage.

    Abstract The goal of this study was to provide information on the representation of pollen taxa and the human impact on vegetation by exploring the relationship between modern pollen and vegetation in the central and western regions of Yunnan Province of China. A total of 120 modern pollen samples were collected throughout the study area. The surface pollen assemblage was divided into eight pollen zones (Zones I–VIII) based on vegetation types. We analyzed the palynology and determined the hemeroby levels of each zone in the area. Our results showed that human activity is one of the most important factors that can result in the damage of natural vegetation and increase anthropochory and secondary plants. The hemeroby levels of the surface pollen samples were mainly euhemerobic except for Zones I, II, and VI, which indicates a strong and continuous anthropogenic influence in the central and western regions of Yunnan Province in recent decades. The lowest hemeroby values were observed in Zone I samples, which were collected from Mengla and Jinghong. These areas are in the Xishuangbanna region, which is the most biodiverse region in China and has been well preserved since 1959. Therefore, the extent of human influence of a region can be estimated from the degree of hemeroby established from pollen data, which can be used in the future for nature conservation.
