MnOx-decorated carbonized porous silicon nanowire electrodes for high performance supercapacitors

Abstract: In this study, manganese oxide (MnOx)-decorated carbonized porous silicon nanowire arrays (MnOx/C/PSiNWs) are synthesized through eco-friendly and cost-effective processes This electrode material system exhibits excellent electrochemical behavior with a specific capacitance reaching 635 F g−1, as well as the highest areal power (100 mWcm−2) and energy (046 mW h cm−2) ever reported in a silicon nanowire-based pseudocapacitor electrode Furthermore, an asymmetric hybrid supercapacitor (AHS) is designed using MnOx/C/PSiNWs as the positive electrode, carbonized porous silicon nanowires (C/PSiNWs) as the negative electrode and 1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (EMIM-TFSI)/acetonitrile as the electrolyte The supercapacitor shows an excellent power density of 25 kW kg−1 and an energy density of 261 W h kg−1 at a current density of 02 mA cm−2 with a large operational potential window (36 V) and a good capacitance retention (82% after 10000 CV cycles) The results show that the MnOx/C/PSiNW electrodes are promising materials for the future generation of high performance supercapacitors

An Efficient Gate Library for Ambipolar CNTFET Logic

Abstract: Recently, several emerging technologies have been reported as potential candidates for controllable ambipolar devices. Controllable ambipolarity is a desirable property that enables the on-line configurability of n-type and p-type device polarity. In this paper, we introduce a new design methodology for logic gates based on controllable ambipolar devices, with an emphasis on carbon nanotubes as the candidate technology. Our technique results in ambipolar gates with a higher expressive power than conventional complementary metal-oxidesemiconductor (CMOS) libraries. We propose a library of static ambipolar carbon nanotube field effect transistor (CNTFET) gates based on generalized NOR-NAND-AOI-OAI primitives, which efficiently implements XOR-based functions. Technology mapping of several multi-level logic benchmarks that extensively use the XOR function, including multipliers, adders, and linear circuits, with ambipolar CNTFET logic gates indicates that on average, it is possible to reduce the number of logic levels by 42%, the delay by 26%, and the power consumption by 32%, resulting in a energy-delay-product (EDP) reduction of 59 % over the same circuits mapped with unipolar CNTFET logic gates. Based on the projections in [1], where it is stated that defectfree CNTFETs will provide a 5x performance improvement over metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors, the ambipolar library provides a performance improvement of 7x, a 57% reduction in power consumption, and a 20x improvement in EDP over the CMOS library.

Search for production of WW/WZ resonances decaying to a lepton, neutrino and jets in pp collisions at √s=8 TeV with the ATLAS detector

Abstract: A search is presented for narrow diboson resonances decaying to [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] in the final state where one [Formula: see text] boson decays leptonically (to an electron or a muon plus a neutrino) and the other [Formula: see text] boson decays hadronically. The analysis is performed using an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb[Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] collisions at [Formula: see text] TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the large hadron collider. No evidence for resonant diboson production is observed, and resonance masses below 700 and 1490 GeV are excluded at 95 % confidence level for the spin-2 Randall-Sundrum bulk graviton [Formula: see text] with coupling constant of 1.0 and the extended gauge model [Formula: see text] boson respectively.

Structural basis for the assembly of the Sxl–Unr translation regulatory complex

Abstract: Genetic equality between males and females is established by chromosome-wide dosage-compensation mechanisms. In the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster, the dosage-compensation complex promotes twofold hypertranscription of the single male X-chromosome and is silenced in females by inhibition of the translation of msl2, which codes for the limiting component of the dosage-compensation complex. The female-specific protein Sex-lethal (Sxl) recruits Upstream-of-N-ras (Unr) to the 3' untranslated region of msl2 messenger RNA, preventing the engagement of the small ribosomal subunit. Here we report the 2.8 A crystal structure, NMR and small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering data of the ternary Sxl-Unr-msl2 ribonucleoprotein complex featuring unprecedented intertwined interactions of two Sxl RNA recognition motifs, a Unr cold-shock domain and RNA. Cooperative complex formation is associated with a 1,000-fold increase of RNA binding affinity for the Unr cold-shock domain and involves novel ternary interactions, as well as non-canonical RNA contacts by the α1 helix of Sxl RNA recognition motif 1. Our results suggest that repression of dosage compensation, necessary for female viability, is triggered by specific, cooperative molecular interactions that lock a ribonucleoprotein switch to regulate translation. The structure serves as a paradigm for how a combination of general and widespread RNA binding domains expands the code for specific single-stranded RNA recognition in the regulation of gene expression.
