Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...

But, manufacturing these solid electrolytes has been a challenge. Previous methods resulted in thick membranes – sometimes up to 1 millimeter — that reduced energy density. The Electronics and ...

String theory is the best candidate we have for a theory of everything. Bend to its rule and the various tangled theories of conventional physics emerge as part of a sublime, higher-dimensional ...

The authors aim to elucidate the mechanism by which pyroptosis (through the formation of Gasdermin D (GSDMD) pores in the plasma membrane) contributes to increased release of procoagulant Tissue ...

Local organizations listened, hopeful that the vast American aid apparatus was finally opening up to smaller players. Many reshaped their operations to fit the mold of USAID’s localization ...
