Silicon photonics (SiPh) is a disruptive technology in the field of integrated photonics and has experienced rapid development over the past two decades. Various high-performance Si and Ge/Si-based components have been developed on this platform that allow for complex photonic integrated circuits (PICs) with small footprint. These PICs have found u...
The generation of genetic diversity via mutagenesis is routinely used for protein engineering and pathway optimization. Current technologies for random mutagenesis often target either the whole genome or relatively narrow windows. To bridge this gap, we developed CoMuTER (Confined Mutagenesis using a Type I-E CRISPR-Cas system), a tool that allows ...
Herein, we report the catalytic activity of a series of platinum(II) pre-catalysts, bearing N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands, in the alkene hydrosilylation reaction. Their structural and electronic properties are fully investigated using X-ray diffraction analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). Next, our study presents a str...
For nearly a century, the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) reaction has been subject of intense debate. Various molecular views on the active sites and on the reaction mechanism have been presented for both Co-and Fe-based FT reactions. In the last 15 years, the emergence of a surface -science-and molecular-modeling-based bottom-up approach has brought this mo...
This study investigates whether there is an effect on laboratory results and clinical outcome using commercial kits with similar vitrification but different warming procedures for blastocysts vitrified on day 5 or day 6. A single-center retrospective cohort study was performed between 2011 and 2020. A change from a stage-specific kit (Kit 1) to a u...
The instability and Li2CO3 contaminants of garnet-type electrolytes exposed to air could lead to in its poor interfacial contact with the lithium metal. Generally, the thermal treatment temperature of garnet should overpass 700 & DEG;C to remove surface contaminants. Herein, we report a low temperature method in which con-taminants are converted to...

As a novel crystalline polymeric material, covalent organic framework (COF) has been paid the most attention by membrane separation researchers all over the world due to its pre-designable, regular pore structures, and reliable chemical stability. However, the fabrication of a homogenous, stable, thin COF layer on the support membrane remains chall...

There is a high demand to synthesize ozone decomposition catalysts especially in high-space-velocity and high-relative-humidity (RH) environments. Herein, two polymorphs of cobalt hydroxide, alpha- and beta-Co(OH)(2), are synthesized and applied for ozone elimination. beta-Co(OH)(2) shows similar to 90% ozone decomposition efficiency under high spa...
