The amplitude of the mouse ERG declines with age. This change does not appear to reflect a change in the structural integrity of the photoreceptor cells. In functional studies of murine models of late-onset retinal disorders, it will be important to take these changes into consideration.
Flexible wearable sensors are expected to be the future generation of personal health monitoring devices with large‐area, multimodal, multipoint sensing, and complicated data analysis. However, multimaterial interfacial coalescence and mechanical matching critically challenge the advancement of flexible devices and multifunction integration. Graphene, with characteristic carbon sheet 2D material, is endowed with good transparency, stability, superior electron mobility, heat conductivity, excellent flexibility, and mechanical performance. A summary of the progresses of flexible graphene‐based sensors in terms of material processing, sensor configuration, and property is presented. Various assembly structures could perform different electrical behaviors with unitary graphene material. The diversity of graphene‐based temperature, humidity, pressure, strain, and integrated multifunctional sensors developed in recent years is detailed. Benefitting from the commendable flexible mechanical performance and high durability, flexible graphene‐based sensors promote practical applications in body temperature monitoring, voice recognition, pulse‐beating, motion, and respiration detection. Finally, future research following the development trends and challenges of integrated graphene‐based sensors to develop their potential in human health monitoring and human–machine interfaces are discussed.
Supercharged unfolded polypeptides (SUPs) are exploited for controlling ice nucleation via tuning the nature of charge and charge density of SUPs. The results show that positively charged SUPs facilitate ice nucleation, while negatively charged ones suppress it. Moreover, the charge density of the SUP backbone is another parameter to control it.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
