摘要:Futuristic technologies such as morphing aircrafts and super-strong artificial muscles depend on metal alloys being as strong as ultrahigh-strength steel yet as flexible as a polymer1-3. However, achieving such 'strong yet flexible' alloys has proven challenging4-9 because of the inevitable trade-off between strength and flexibility5,8,10. Here we report a Ti-50.8 at.% Ni strain glass alloy showing a combination of ultrahigh yield strength of sigma y approximate to 1.8 GPa and polymer-like ult...

摘要:Biologists would love to be able to read out the amino-acid sequence of any protein molecule as they would the letters of a sentence. A system in which a biological motor pulls proteins through a pore brings the dream closer to reality.

摘要:The biological pump supplies carbon to the oceans' interior, driving long-term carbon sequestration and providing energy for deep-sea ecosystems1,2. Its efficiency is set by transformations of newly formed particles in the euphotic zone, followed by vertical flux attenuation via mesopelagic processes3. Depth attenuation of the particulate organic carbon (POC) flux is modulated by multiple processes involving zooplankton and/or microbes4,5. Nevertheless, it continues to be mainly parameterized ...

摘要:Intermolecular distance largely determines the optoelectronic properties of organic matter. Conventional organic luminescent molecules are commonly used either as aggregates or as single molecules that are diluted in a foreigner matrix. They have garnered great research interest in recent decades for a variety of applications, including light-emitting diodes1,2, lasers3-5 and quantum technologies6,7, among others8-10. However, there is still a knowledge gap on how these molecules behave betwee...

摘要:Guanidine is a chemically stable nitrogen compound that is excreted in human urine and is widely used in manufacturing of plastics, as a flame retardant and as a component of propellants, and is well known as a protein denaturant in biochemistry1-3. Guanidine occurs widely in nature and is used by several microorganisms as a nitrogen source, but microorganisms growing on guanidine as the only substrate have not yet been identified. Here we show that the complete ammonia oxidizer (comammox) Nit...

摘要:The ability to sequence single protein molecules in their native, full-length form would enable a more comprehensive understanding of proteomic diversity. Current technologies, however, are limited in achieving this goal1,2. Here, we establish a method for the long-range, single-molecule reading of intact protein strands on a commercial nanopore sensor array. By using the ClpX unfoldase to ratchet proteins through a CsgG nanopore3,4, we provide single-molecule evidence that ClpX translocates s...
