TL;DR: A fluid suspension of magnetic nanoplates that spontaneously aligns into an equilibrium nematic liquid crystal phase that is also macroscopically ferromagnetic, which produces distinctive magnetic self-interaction effects, including liquid crystal textures of fluid block domains arranged in closed flux loops.
Abstract: Ferrofluids are familiar as colloidal suspensions of ferromagnetic nanoparticles in aqueous or organic solvents. The dispersed particles are randomly oriented but their moments become aligned if a magnetic field is applied, producing a variety of exotic and useful magnetomechanical effects. A longstanding interest and challenge has been to make such suspensions macroscopically ferromagnetic, that is having uniform magnetic alignment in the absence of a field. Here we report a fluid suspension of magnetic nanoplates that spontaneously aligns into an equilibrium nematic liquid crystal phase that is also macroscopically ferromagnetic. Its zero-field magnetization produces distinctive magnetic self-interaction effects, including liquid crystal textures of fluid block domains arranged in closed flux loops, and makes this phase highly sensitive, with it dramatically changing shape even in the Earth's magnetic field.

TL;DR: The results show that after 6 months of use and 3600 working cycles the microreactor still exhibits 60% of its initial efficiency, and the longer-term stability of the TiO2 film is evaluated.
Abstract: A photocatalytic, TiO2-based microreactor is designed and fabricated on a metal–titanium foil. The microchannel is mechanically engraved in the substrate foil, and a double-layered TiO2 anatase film is immobilized on its inner walls with a two-step synthesis, which included anodization and a hydrothermal treatment. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirm the presence of an approximately 10-μm-thick layer of titania nanotubes and anatase nanoparticles. The SEM and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of the cross sections show a dense interface between the titanium substrate and the TiO2 nanotubes. An additional layer of TiO2-anatase nanoparticles on the top of the film provides a large, photocatalytic surface area. The metal–titanium substrate with a functionalized serpentine channel is sealed with UV-transparent Plexiglas, and four 0.8-mW UV LEDs combined with a power controller on a small printed-circuit board are fixed over the substrate. The photocatalytic activity and...

TL;DR: Propeptide of human cathepsin L which is able to fold independently represents an evolutionary intermediate in the emergence of novel inhibitors originating from the enzyme proregions and suggests the mechanism for the acidic zymogen activation.

TL;DR: A multiple alignment of the deduced cathepsin C sequence of 233 residues which, by analogy to other cysteine proteinases, corresponds to the mature protein, confirms that human cathePSin C belongs to the papain superfamily.

TL;DR: The results suggest that elastinolysis by cysteine cathepsins proceeds in cycles of enzyme adsorption, binding of a susceptible peptide moiety, hydrolysis, and desorption.
