TL;DR: A vector-based siRNA expression system that can induce RNAi in mammalian cells is reported, which might allow therapeutic applications by means of vector-mediated RNAi and facilitate a wide range of functional analysis of mammalian genes.
Abstract: The first evidence for gene disruption by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) came from careful analysis in Caenorhabditis elegans. This phenomenon, called RNA interference (RNAi), was observed subsequently in various organisms, including plants, nematodes, Drosophila, and protozoans. Very recently, it has been reported that in mammalian cells, 21- or 22-nucleotide (nt) RNAs with 2-nt 3' overhangs (small inhibitory RNAs, siRNAs) exhibit an RNAi effect. This is because siRNAs are not recognized by the well-characterized host defense system against viral infections, involving dsRNA-dependent inhibition of protein synthesis. However, the current method for introducing synthetic siRNA into cells by lipofection restricts the range of applications of RNAi as a result of the low transfection efficiencies in some cell types and/or short-term persistence of silencing effects. Here, we report a vector-based siRNA expression system that can induce RNAi in mammalian cells. This technical advance for silencing gene expression not only facilitates a wide range of functional analysis of mammalian genes but might also allow therapeutic applications by means of vector-mediated RNAi.

TL;DR: This family of molecularly engineered graphite with a one-dimensional tubular shape and a chemically accessible surface constitutes an important step toward molecular electronics.
Abstract: An amphiphilic hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene self-assembles to form a π-electronic, discrete nanotubular object. The object is characterized by an aspect ratio greater than 1000 and has a uniform, 14-nanometer-wide, open-ended hollow space, which is an order of magnitude larger than those of carbon nanotubes. The wall is 3 nanometers thick and consists of helical arrays of the π-stacked graphene molecule, whose exterior and interior surfaces are covered by hydrophilic triethylene glycol chains. The graphitic nanotube is redox active, and a single piece of the nanotube across 180-nanometer-gap electrodes shows, upon oxidation, an electrical conductivity of 2.5 megohms at 285 kelvin. This family of molecularly engineered graphite with a one-dimensional tubular shape and a chemically accessible surface constitutes an important step toward molecular electronics.

TL;DR: Laser-induced phase patterning is used to fabricate an ohmic heterophase homojunction between semiconducting hexagonal and metallic monoclinic molybdenum ditelluride that is stable up to 300°C and increases the carrier mobility of the MoTe2 transistor by a factor of about 50, while retaining a high on/off current ratio of 106.
Abstract: Artificial van der Waals heterostructures with two-dimensional (2D) atomic crystals are promising as an active channel or as a buffer contact layer for next-generation devices. However, genuine 2D heterostructure devices remain limited because of impurity-involved transfer process and metastable and inhomogeneous heterostructure formation. We used laser-induced phase patterning, a polymorph engineering, to fabricate an ohmic heterophase homojunction between semiconducting hexagonal (2H) and metallic monoclinic (1T') molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe2) that is stable up to 300°C and increases the carrier mobility of the MoTe2 transistor by a factor of about 50, while retaining a high on/off current ratio of 10(6). In situ scanning transmission electron microscopy results combined with theoretical calculations reveal that the Te vacancy triggers the local phase transition in MoTe2, achieving a true 2D device with an ohmic contact.

TL;DR: The present work demonstrates that the pseudocapacitance of the nanosheet compound MXene Ti2C achieves a higher specific capacity relative to double-layer capacitor electrodes and a higher rate capability relative to ion intercalation electrodes.
Abstract: High-power Na-ion batteries have tremendous potential in various large-scale applications. However, conventional charge storage through ion intercalation or double-layer formation cannot satisfy the requirements of such applications owing to the slow kinetics of ion intercalation and the small capacitance of the double layer. The present work demonstrates that the pseudocapacitance of the nanosheet compound MXene Ti2C achieves a higher specific capacity relative to double-layer capacitor electrodes and a higher rate capability relative to ion intercalation electrodes. By utilizing the pseudocapacitance as a negative electrode, the prototype Na-ion full cell consisting of an alluaudite Na2Fe2(SO4)3 positive electrode and an MXene Ti2C negative electrode operates at a relatively high voltage of 2.4 V and delivers 90 and 40 mAh g(-1) at 1.0 and 5.0 A g(-1) (based on the weight of the negative electrode), respectively, which are not attainable by conventional electrochemical energy storage systems.
