This collection of news pieces and articles by the Nobel laureates and their collaborators celebrates this achievement. Produced with support from ZEISS Microscopy            Chemical Sciences               A ruthenium(II) complex as turn-on Cu(II) luminescent sensor based on oxidative cyclization mechanism and its application in vivo ▶     Yunfei Zhang, Zonglun Liu, Kui Yang et al.     Copper ions play a vital role in a variety of fundamental physiological processes not only in human beings and plants, but also for extensive insects and microorganisms. In this …             The transition from single molecule to ensemble revealed by fluorescence polarization. ▶     Toby D. M. Bell, Andrew H. A. Clayton     Fluorescence polarization measurements in the condensed phase provide rich information on rotational dynamics and interactions between macromolecules. An important parameter in …             Rationally Designed Peptidomimetic Modulators of Aβ Toxicity in Alzheimer's Disease ▶     K. Rajasekhar, S. N. Suresh, Ravi Manjithaya et al.     Alzheimer's disease is one of the devastating illnesses mankind is facing in the 21st century. The main pathogenic event in Alzheimer's disease is believed to be the aggregation …             One-step hydrothermal synthesis of graphene decorated V2O5 nanobelts for enhanced electrochemical energy storage ▶     Minoh Lee, Suresh Kannan Balasingam, Hu Young Jeong et al.     Graphene-decorated V2O5 nanobelts (GVNBs) were synthesized via a low-temperature hydrothermal method in a single step. V2O5 nanobelts (VNBs) were formed in the presence of …             Label-free detection of kanamycin based on a G-quadruplex DNA aptamer-based fluorescent intercalator displacement assay ▶     Yun-Peng Xing, Chun Liu, Xiao-Hong Zhou et al.     This work was the first to report that the kanamycin-binding DNA aptamer (5′-TGG GGG TTG AGG CTA AGC CGA-3′) can form stable parallel G-quadruplex DNA (G4-DNA) structures by …             Microcontroller-Assisted Compensation of Adenosine Triphosphate Levels: Instrument and Method Development ▶     Jie-Bi Hu, Ting-Ru Chen, Yu-Chie Chen et al.     In order to ascertain optimum conditions for biocatalytic processes carried out in vitro, we have designed a bio-opto-electronic system which ensures real-time compensation for …             Li-Rich Li-Si Alloy As A Lithium-Containing Negative Electrode Material Towards High Energy Lithium-Ion Batteries ▶     Shinichiroh Iwamura, Hirotomo Nishihara, Yoshitaka Ono et al.     Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are generally constructed by lithium-including positive electrode materials, such as LiCoO2, and lithium-free negative electrode materials, such as …             Residues remote from the binding pocket control the antagonist selectivity towards the corticotropin-releasing factor receptor-1 ▶     Xianqiang Sun, Jianxin Cheng, Xu Wang et al.     The corticotropin releasing factors receptor-1 and receptor-2 (CRF1R and CRF2R) are therapeutic targets for treating neurological diseases. Antagonists targeting CRF1R have been …             Modeling the metastable dynamics of correlated structures ▶     Alexey M. Shakirov, Sergey V. Tsibulsky, Andrey E. Antipov et al.     Metastable quantum dynamics of an asymmetric triangular cluster that is coupled to a reservoir is investigated. The dynamics is governed by bath-mediated transitions, which in …             In vitro reconstruction of branched tubular structures from lung epithelial cells in high cell concentration gradient environment ▶     Masaya Hagiwara, Fei Peng, Chih-Ming Ho     We have succeeded in developing hollow branching structure in vitro commonly observed in lung airway using primary lung airway epithelial cells. Cell concentration gradient is …             Nanoscale Lubrication of Ionic Surfaces Controlled via a Strong Electric Field ▶     Evgheni Strelcov, Rajeev Kumar, Vera Bocharova et al.     Frictional forces arise whenever objects around us are set in motion. Controlling them in a rational manner means gaining leverage over mechanical energy losses and wear. This …             Charge-transfer-based Gas Sensing Using Atomic-layer MoS2 ▶     Byungjin Cho, Myung Gwan Hahm, Minseok Choi et al.     Two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) atomic layers have a strong potential to be used as 2D electronic sensor components.
