Single-benzene dual-emitters are realized by proton transfer equilibrium between two emissive tautomers. We demonstrate that the excited-state antiaromaticity of the benzene core drives the proton movements.

High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels were previously considered to be inversely associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Silicon is an attractive anode material for all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) because it has a high energy density and is safer than metallic lithium.

The Terra-LUNA crash in May 2022 was triggered by the depeg of the ecosystem’s stablecoin UST. It led to the unprecedented demise of a blockchain ecosystem and cost investors tens of billions of dollars.

The thermal characteristics of crystalline and amorphous forms of a human milk oligosaccharide, 2ʹ-fucosyllactose (2ʹ-FL), were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis, and compared with the two forms of α-lactose monohydrate.

The fourth vaccination dose confers additional protective immunity against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in individuals with no prior coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19).

The catalytic functions of metalloenzymes are often strongly correlated with metal elements in the active sites. However, dioxygen-activating nonheme quercetin dioxygenases (QueD) are found with various first-row transition-metal ions when metal swapping inactivates their innate catalytic activity.

Whereas cholesterol is vital for cell growth, proliferation, and remodeling, dysregulation of cholesterol metabolism is associated with multiple age-related pathologies. Here we show that senescent cells accumulate cholesterol in lysosomes to maintain the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP).

Efficient and environmentally friendly conversion of light energy for direct utilization in chemical production has been a long-standing goal in enzyme design.

RNA silencing relies on specific and efficient processing of double-stranded RNA by Dicer, which yields microRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs).

Drought tolerance is important for grain crops, including rice (Oryza sativa); for example, rice cultivated under intermittent irrigation produces less methane gas compared to rice grown in anaerobic paddy field conditions, but these plants require greater drought tolerance.

Cucurbitacins and volatile compounds of cucumber fruit of 69 genotypes were profiled. Cucurbitacin C was only detected, while other types were not detected. Distinct genotype traits were classified into four groups based on compound profiles. Volatile compounds in F1 hybrids were lower than those in parents and mid-parents.
