Article Abstract
Contact electrification between material pairs is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature, typically involving two processes, charge transfer and accumulation. The mechanism of charge transfer has been extensively explored and gradually understood. However, charge accumulation is still elusive. Here, we developed a synergistic approach integrating macro- and microscales to complementarily uncover the charge accumulation and accumulation dynamics in contact electrification. The charge accumulation process is confirmed to be always divided into two stages, including the initial rapid accumulation caused by the growth of contact charge density and later slow accumulation determined by an increase in contact area, respectively. A dynamic equation of contact charge accumulation is established, which provided a general guideline for accurately anticipating and manipulating the accumulation of contact charges. Consequently, the accumulation velocity of contact charge reaching saturation can be controllably increased from 9.9 × 10 to 5.9 × 10 μA/cycle with an improvement of 6 times by designing contact materials.

Organic mixed ionic-electronic conducting polymers remain at the forefront of materials development for bioelectronic device applications. During electrochemical operation, structural dynamics and variations in electrostatic interactions in the polymer occur, which affect dual transport of the ions and electronic charge carriers. Such effects remain unclear due to a lack of spectroscopic methods capable of capturing these dynamics, which hinders the rational design of higher-performance polymers.

In the stable cone-jet regime, liquid usually presents the shape of a cone extended by a jet at its apex, with jet breakup yielding fine drops. The dynamics of the Taylor cone critically affect the stability of the jet and further determine the jet and/or drop size. In the present work, the morphology of the Taylor cone, cone length, and cone angle were studied through experimental and numerical means, where the operating parameters and liquid properties are considered.

Background: The development of specific fluorescent probes for cancer cell discrimination holds significant promise for advancing cancer diagnostics. Conventionally, these probes operate by translating differences in biomarkers or microenvironmental factors into variations in whole-cell fluorescence intensity. However, this dominant, intensity-based strategy is highly susceptible to extraneous fluctuations arising from probe concentration, illumination instability and complex intracellular environment.

Proper subcellular localization of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) is essential for initiating appropriate innate immune responses against pathogens while avoiding self-reactivity. UNC93B1 is known to mediate the intracellular trafficking of nucleotide-sensing TLRs such as TLR9 which undergoes rapid internalization into endolysosomes upon reaching the cell surface. We previously demonstrated that UNC93B1 also facilitates the plasma membrane localization of TLR5, a sensor for bacterial flagellin.

Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase 1B (DHOD1B) is one of several flavoproteins that utilize active half-sites. These enzymes have two flavin cofactors (FAD and FMN) that each interact with a specific reductant/oxidant substrate/product. Electrons gained at one-half-site must be transmitted to the other half-site and iron-sulfur centers between the flavin cofactors serve in this role.
