Open AccessSurplus fatty acid synthesis increases oxidative stress in adipocytes and induces lipodystrophy
Adipocytes are the primary sites for fatty acid storage, but the synthesis rate of fatty acids is very low. The physiological significance of this phenomenon remains unclear. Here, we show that surplus fatty a...

Open AccessTemperature-dependent interphase formation and Li+ transport in lithium metal batteries
High-performance Li-ion/metal batteries working at a low temperature (i.e., <−20 °C) are desired but hindered by the sluggish kinetics associated with Li+ transport and charge transfer. Herein, the temperature-de...
