Cryptophycin is a potent cytotoxin produced by cyanobacteria of the genus Nostoc. It is also a promising drug in many cancer therapies.
Energy harvesting (also known as power harvesting or energy scavenging) is the process by which energy is derived from external sources (e.g. solar power, thermal energy, wind energy, salinity grad...
Experimental solid state heat engines, operating from the relatively small temperature differences in cold and hot water reservoirs, have been developed since the 1970s, including the Banks Engine,...
Graphene is pure carbon in the form of a very thin, nearly transparent sheet, one atom thick. It is remarkably strong for its very low weight (100 times stronger than steel[1]) and it conducts heat...
Leukemia (American English) or leukaemia (British English) /luːˈkiːmiːə/[1] is a group of cancers that usually begins in the bone marrow and results in high numbers of abnormal white blood cells.[2...
In bulk heterojunction cells, the electron donor and acceptor are mixed, forming a polymer blend (Fig 4). If the length scale of the blend is similar to the exciton diffusion length, most of the ex...
A random number generator (RNG) is a computational or physical device designed to generate a sequence of numbers or symbols that lack any pattern, i.e. appear random. The many applications of ra...
Benzodiazepines /ˌbɛnzɵdaɪˈæzɨpiːn/ (sometimes colloquially "benzos"; often abbreviated "BZD") are a class of psychoactive drugs whose core chemical structure is the fusion of a benzene ring and a ...
Dendrimers [1] are repetitively branched molecules.[2][3] The name comes from the Greek word δένδρον (dendron), which translates to "tree". Synonymous terms for dendrimer include arborols and casca...
D3 dopamine receptor is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DRD3 gene.[1][2] This gene encodes the D3 subtype of the dopamine receptor. The D3 subtype inhibits adenylyl cyclase through in...
Fungicides are biocidal chemical compounds or biological organisms used to kill or inhibit fungi or fungal spores.[1] Fungi can cause serious damage in agriculture, resulting in critical losses of ...
An organic solar cell or plastic solar cell is a type of polymer solar cell that uses organic electronics, a branch of electronics that deals with conductive organic polymers or small organic molec...
The key target of Mdm2 is the p53 tumor suppressor. Mdm2 has been identified as a p53 interacting protein that represses p53 transcriptional activity. Mdm2 achieves this repression by binding to an...

A battery management system (BMS) is any electronic system that manages a rechargeable battery (cell or battery pack), such as by protecting the battery from operating outside its Safe Operating Ar...
An electric battery is a device consisting of one or more electrochemical cells that convert stored chemical energy into electrical energy. Each cell contains a positive terminal, or cathode, and a...
