Most terrestrial plants are able to form a root symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM)
fungi for enhancing the assimilation of mineral nutrients. AM fungi are obligate symbionts that …

Microsporogenesis is essential for male fertility and requires both the formation of somatic
and reproductive cells in the anther and meiotic segregation of homologous chromosomes. …

Flexible and highly thermally conductive materials with consistent thermal conductivity (λ)
during large deformation are urgently required to address the heat accumulation in flexible …

The gut is colonized by many commensal microorganisms, and the diversity and metabolic
patterns of microorganisms profoundly influence the intestinal health. These microbial …

Epoxy resins with a high dielectric constant and low intrinsic thermal conductivity coefficient
cannot meet the current application requirements of advanced electronic and electrical …

High integration development of electronics requires materials possessing excellent thermal
conductivity, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, and electrical insulation. In this …

Graphite oxide (GO) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) modified multi-walled
carbon nanotubes (m-MWCNTs) are utilized to fabricate “Line-Plane”-like hetero-structured …

Low availability of nitrogen (N) is often a major limiting factor to crop yield in most nutrient-poor
soils. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are beneficial symbionts of most land plants that …

In this study, a novel microencapsulated phase change material (palmitic acid@AlOOH)
was prepared using an in situ emulsion interfacial poly-condensation method. The resulting …

This research presents the role of bacterial cell walls of Bacillus subtilis as a concrete admixture
to improve the mechanical performance of concrete. The bacterial cell walls are known …
