The counter electrode was made of …             Trend of telomerase activity change during human iPSC self-renewal and differentiation revealed by a quartz crystal microbalance based assay ▶     Yitian Zhou, Ping Zhou, Yinqiang Xin et al.     Telomerase plays an important role in governing the life span of cells for its capacity to extend telomeres. As high activity of telomerase has been found in stem cells and …             Design of Three-shell Icosahedral Matryoshka Clusters A@B12@A20 (A=Sn, Pb; B=Mg, Zn, Cd, Mn) ▶     Xiaoming Huang, Jijun Zhao, Yan Su et al.     We propose a series of icosahedral matryoshka clusters of A@B12@A20 (A=Sn, Pb; B=Mg, Zn, Cd), which possess large HOMO-LUMO gaps (1.29 to 1.54 eV) and low formation energies …             Hinge-like structure induced unusual properties of black phosphorus and new strategies to improve the thermoelectric performance ▶     Guangzhao Qin, Qing-Bo Yan, Zhenzhen Qin et al.     We systematically investigated the geometric, electronic and thermoelectric (TE) properties of bulk black phosphorus (BP) under strain. The hinge-like structure of BP brings …             Construction of a high-performance magnetic enzyme nanosystem for rapid tryptic digestion ▶     Gong Cheng, Si-Yang Zheng     A magnetic enzyme nanosystem have been designed and constructed by a polydopamine (PDA)-modification strategy. The magnetic enzyme nanosystem has well defined core-shell …             Industrially benign super-compressible piezoresistive carbon foams with predefined wetting properties: from environmental to electrical applications ▶     Tung Ngoc Pham, Ajaikumar Samikannu, Jarmo Kukkola et al.     In the present work electrically conductive, flexible, lightweight carbon sponge materials derived from open-pore structure melamine foams are studied and explored. Hydrophobic …             Re-building Daniell Cell with a Li-ion exchange Film ▶     Xiaoli Dong, Yonggang Wang, Yongyao Xia     Daniell cell (i.e. Zn-Cu battery) is widely used in chemistry curricula to illustrate how batteries work, although it has been supplanted in the late 19th century by more modern …             Development of Amperometric Glucose Biosensor Based on Prussian Blue Functionlized TiO2 Nanotube Arrays ▶     Zhi-Da Gao, Yongfang Qu, Tongtong Li et al.     Amperometric biosensors consisting of oxidase and peroxidase have attracted great attention because of their wide application. The current work demonstrates a novel approach to …             Ultrafast High-Resolution Mass Spectrometric Finger Pore Imaging in Latent Finger Prints ▶     Christian Elsner, Bernd Abel     Latent finger prints (LFPs) are deposits of sweat components in ridge and groove patterns, left after human fingers contact with a surface. Being important targets in biometry …             A new strategy for integrating abundant oxygen functional groups into carbon felt electrode for vanadium redox flow batteries ▶     Ki Jae Kim, Seung-Wook Lee, Taeeun Yim et al.     The effects of surface treatment combining corona discharge and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on the electrochemical performance of carbon felt electrodes for vanadium redox flow …                     • Careers & Jobs           naturejobs.com Science jobs of the week       PhD Studentship     The University of Sheffield            Principal Research Associate - Group Leader     University College London (UCL)            Postdoctoral     Roswell Park Cancer Institute            Research Associate     John Innes Centre (JIC)            PhD Studentship in Chemistry     University of Birmingham            Postdoctoral Research Fellow     Harvard Medical School            Postdoc position - cell biology     University of Lausanne (UNIL)            Bioinformatician     Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust            Research Associate / Fellow     King's College London            Senior Research Assistant     University of Oxford          No matter what your career stage, student, postdoc or senior scientist, you will find articles on naturejobs.com to help guide you in your science career.
