Dataset linking free polyunsaturated fatty acid concentrations in erythrocytes with chronic pain conditions in adults

Circulating polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and lipid mediators were extracted from human red blood cells and quantified using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

Influence of Geometry on Quasi-Ballistic Behavior in Silicon Nanowire Geometric Diodes

Here, we synthesize silicon NW GDs and fabricate single-NW devices from which significant changes in diode performance are observed from relatively minor changes in geometry.

Design optimization of bifacial perovskite minimodules for improved efficiency and stability

Here we report bifacial minimodules with front efficiency comparable to opaque monofacial counterparts, while gaining additional energy from albedo light.

Multi-Electron Transfer at H-Terminated p-Si Electrolyte Interfaces: Large Photovoltages under Inversion Conditions

Photovoltages for hydrogen-terminated p-Si(111) in an acetonitrile electrolyte were quantified with methyl viologen [1,1′-(CH3)2-4,4′-bipyridinium](PF6)2, abbreviated MV2+, and [Ru(bpy)3](PF6)2, where bpy is 2,2′-bipyridine, that respectively undergo two and three one-electron transfer reductions.

Catalytic reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia using molybdenum porphyrin complexes

Here, we show that oxo and nitrido complexes of molybdenum supported by tetramesitylporphyrin (TMP) are effective precatalysts for catalytic N2 reduction to ammonia, verified by 15N2 labeling studies and other control experiments.

11C-, 12C-, and 13C-cyanation of electron-rich arenes via organic photoredox catalysis

Here, we disclose a mild organophotoredox-catalyzed method for efficient cyanation of a broad spectrum of electron-rich arenes, including abundant and readily available veratroles and pyrogallol trimethyl ethers.

Tunable and Switchable Catalysis Enabled by Cation-Controlled Gating with Crown Ether Ligands

In this Account, the development of design principles for achieving cation-controlled catalysis is described.

Resolving the enthalpy of protein stabilization by macromolecular crowding

To resolve the effect of crowding on protein stability, we use 19F nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to follow the reversible, two-state unfolding thermodynamics of the N-terminal Src homology 3 domain of the Drosophila signal transduction protein drk in the presence of polyethylene glycols (PEGs) of various molecular weights and concentrations.

Observationally Constrained Modeling of the Reactive Uptake of Isoprene-Derived Epoxydiols under Elevated Relative Humidity and Varying Acidity of Seed Aerosol Conditions

Here, we use simultaneous environmental chamber measurements of multiple parameters governing IEPOX-SOA formation at timescales of ∼hours: particle size distribution, composition, and volatility of IEPOX-SOA to constrain the key parameters governing IEPOX-SOA formation under humid (i.e., 50% relative humidity, RH) and varying seed aerosol acidity conditions.

Sticky Architecture: Encoding Pressure Sensitive Adhesion in Polymer Networks

Herein, we develop a precise additive-free PSA design platform that predictably leverages polymer network architecture to empower comprehensive control over adhesive performance.

Water splitting with silicon p-i-n superlattices suspended in solution

Here we report Si-based PSRs by synthesizing high-photovoltage multijunction Si nanowires (SiNWs) that are co-functionalized to catalytically split water.

Electroabsorption as a Probe of Electrons Injected into Nanocrystalline SnO2/TiO2 Core/Shell Thin Films

Here we report electroabsorption studies designed to quantify the surface electric field and the ability of the shell to screen an electric field from a surface anchored dye.
