New Mechanism Spider Silk Formation Revealed
Natural spider silk with extraordinary mechanical properties is typically spun from more than one type of spidroin, including major and minor components. Although the main components of various spider silks have been widely studied, less people know about the molecular role of the minor silk components in spidroin self-assembly and fiber formation. This seriously hinders the design and produc...

New Technology Hopeful to Make COVID-19 Test Easy as Drunk Driving Screening
Tuberculosis (TB) is a kind of infectious disease transmitted by respiratory tract. It is mainly transmitted by human pathogens Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) through human transmission. It has high incidence rate and high mortality rate. The 2020 Global Tuberculosis Report released by WHO shows that about 1/4 of the world's population is infected with MTB, and 1.41 million people died of TB ...

Research Progress in Volatile Organic Pollutants (VOCs) Adsorption Treatment
For years, the serious air pollution, especially the haze, photochemical smog, and ozone, has attracted widespread attention at home and abroad. Volatile organic gases (VOCs) are important pollutants that cause haze and ozone (O3). The adsorption technique is one of the efficient and simple methods to remove VOCs, but the presence of water vapor can compete with VOCs in the practical applicatio...
