Rescue of nucleus pulposus cells from an oxidative stress microenvironment via glutathione-derived carbon dots to alleviate intervertebral disc degeneration
The senescence of nucleus pulposus (NP) cells (NPCs), which is induced by the anomalous accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), is a major...

Poly(mercaptoimidazolyl)borate Complexes of Cadmium and Mercury
The coordination chemistry of bis- and tris(mercaptoimidazolyl)borate ligands with both main-group and transition metals is rapidly expanding.... -
Mercury Removal from Water
Mercury pollution in water is a serious threat to natural ecosystems. Various methods and technologies are in use to remove mercury from the... -
Monolithic Silicon Light Sources
Monolithic silicon light sources (LEDs and lasers) could have a significant impact when integrated on silicon chips. After a general introduction to... -
Silicon Fundamentals for Photonics Applications
The many and diverse approaches to materials science problems have greatly enhanced our ability to engineer the physical properties of... -
Monolithic Silicon Microphotonics
The technology evolution of optical interconnection is driven by the distance × product required for a given link. As such optical fiber deployment... -
Polymer-Defined Semiconductor Nanostructures
Semiconductor nanostructures with sizes down to a few nanometers can be defined in different, highly parallel processes with the aid of polymers. In... -
Quantum Cascade Lasers for the Mid-infrared Spectral Range: Devices and Applications
Quantum cascade lasers emitting at λ∼5 µm based on different active region designs are investigated. Using lattice-matched GaInAs/AlInAs on InP... -
From Digital to Analogue Magnetoelectronics: Theory of Transport in Non-collinear Magnetic Nanostructures
Magnetoelectronics is mainly digital, i.e. governed by up and down magnetizations. In contrast, analogue magnetoelectronics makes use of phenomena... -
Models for Food Webs
Food webs are complex systems of many interacting biological species. After summarizing some of their properties, this contribution presents... -
Modeling of Metals and Metal Sponges via Embedded Particle Computer Simulation
In this article we review the embedded atom method when adapted to study solid friction and the mechanical behavior of model metals. The method... -
Order Out of Noise: Maximizing Coherence of Noisy Oscillators
In many nonlinear systems noise can play a constructive role, leading to an appearance of an ordered state. In this paper we describe the effects of... -
Fractional Aharonov-Bohm Oscillations in a Kondo Correlated Few-Electron Quantum Ring
We investigate a small quantum ring fabricated by local oxidation with an atomic force microscope. For strong tunnel coupling to the leads we observe... -
AC-Calorimetry at High Pressure and Low Temperature
Recent developments of the ac-calorimetric technique adapted for the needs of high pressure experiments are discussed. A semi-quantitative... -
Hidden Pseudogap and Superconductivity in Electron Doped High-Temperature Superconductors
The ground state of superconductors is characterized by the long range order of condensed Cooper-pairs. While this is the only order in conventional... -
Real-Space Renormalization and Energy-Level Statistics at the Quantum Hall Transition
We review recent applications of the real-space renormalization group (RG) approach to the integer quantum Hall (QH) transition. The RG approach,... -
