A new type of wearable electronic device, called a textile memory, is reported. This is created by combining the unique properties of Al‐coated threads with a native layer of Al2O3 as a resistance switching layer, and carbon fiber as the counter‐electrode, which induces a fluent redox reaction at the interface under a small electrical bias (typically 2–3 V). These two materials can be embroidered into an existing cloth or woven into a novel cloth. The electrical resistance of the contacts is repeatedly switched by the bias polarity, as observed in the recently highlighted resistance switching memory. The devices with different structure from the solid metal‐insulator‐metal devices show reliable resistance switching behaviors in textile form by single stitch and in array as well that would render this new type of material system applicable to a broad range of emerging wearable devices. Such behavior cannot be achieved in other material choices, revealing the uniqueness of this material system.
a b s t r a c tA possible interaction between aconitase and a mitochondrial ribosomal protein was suggested in a genome-wide interactome study. In fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the aco2 + gene encodes a fusion protein between aconitase and a putative mitochondrial ribosomal protein bL21 (Mrpl49). Two types of aco2 + transcripts are generated via alternative poly (A) site selection, producing both a single aconitase domain protein and the fusion form. The bL21-fused Aco2 protein resides in mitochondria as well as in the cytosol and the nucleus. The viability defect of aco2 mutation is complemented not by the aconitase domain but by the bL21 domain, which enables mitochondrial translation.
In article number 1605593, Cheol Seong Hwang, Mi Jung Lee, and co‐workers demonstrate a new type of wearable electronic device in which resistive switching memory devices are woven into an electronic textile using a loom, which is similar to weaving normal cloth. Aluminumcoated threads with native aluminum oxide and carbon are chosen for bipolar resistive switching reactions at the interface to create conducting pathways upon applied bias.
Preparation of high density graphite materials from coal tar pitch was investigated. The effect of β-resin content on the mechanical properties of graphite solid prepared from semi-coke, which was prepared by wet milling method, was examined. β-Resin content was effective for fabrication of green bodies without lamination and for improving the mechanical properties of graphite materials.
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.
