Semiconductor crystals: Molecular teamwork makes the organic dream work beckmaninst NatureComms
"Our research brings semiconductors to life by unlocking the same dynamic qualities that natural organisms like viruses use to adapt and survive," said Ying Diao, a researcher at the Beckman Institute and a co-author of the study.
"Imagine taking down an elaborate domino display brick by brick. It's exhausting and laborious, and once you've finished, you would most likely not have the energy to try it again," said Daniel Davies, the study's lead author and a researcher at the Beckman Institute at the time of the study. "Molecular cooperativity helps living systems operate quickly and efficiently," Davies said."We thought,"If the molecules inDiao and Davies study organic electronic devices, which rely on semiconductors made from molecules like hydrogen and carbon rather than inorganic ones like silicon, a ubiquitous ingredient in the laptops, desktops, and smart devices saturating the market today.
"Just like dominoes, the molecules don't move from where they are fixed. Only their tilt changes," Davies said.

Muscle health depends on lipid synthesis, shows studyMuscle degeneration, the most prevalent cause of frailty in hereditary diseases and aging, could be caused by a deficiency in one key enzyme in a lipid biosynthesis pathway. Researchers at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology (IMBA) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences characterize how the enzyme PCYT2 affects muscle health in disease and aging in laboratory mouse models. The findings are published in Nature Metabolism.
