Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Graded bulk-heterojunction for the future of Organic solar cells
Graded BHJ organic solar cell with well-defined vertical phase separation has the potential to surpass the classical counterpart. Here, the authors reveal solvent selection strategies for optimising morphology of the structure, enabling efficient, eco-friendly, and scalable solar cells.
First steps in a long journey: Understanding the potential clinical consequences of immune responses to the Cas9 protein
Recent demonstration of immune responses to Cas proteins identify a critical risk in the eventual clinical application of Cas-mediated gene editing. In the accompanying paper we extend these findings by identifying promiscuous T-cell epitopes on Cas9 derived from Staphylococcus aureus.
A familiar Material sets new Horizons for Analog Computing
A zero-index nanophotonic platform enables post Moore’s law analog computing with light.
Identifying chromatin loops from single cells
Single cell Hi-C (scHi-C) maps chromatin spatial organization at single cell resolution, but the sparsity of the resulting data presents significant challenges in data analysis. We report a novel method, SnapHiC, which detects chromatin loops from scHi-C data at high sensitivity and specificity.
