Mozambique: Electrifying Partners

Electrifying symbiosis.

A role of ion channels in the interactions between bacterial pathogens and their animal hosts is well established. In some cases, regulation of endogenous channels in the target species is disrupted by bacterial toxins, resulting in an alteration of ion flux and a perturbation of cellular function (1). In a more extreme example, hemolytic bacteria actually insert poreforming proteins into the p...

Electrifying Digital Abstract Art

Merging the analog with the digital, fusing ne art with a design sensibility, Kevin O’Connell never completely leaves any of those realms. He’s both a ne artist who shoots representational imagery from the natural world and an electrifying digital abstractionist. Even better, “electrifying” is not just a metaphor here, as O’Connell really is an electrician. He entered a four-year apprenticeship...

Electrifying inks with 2D materials.

is compatible with conventional device manufacturing processes8; doping processes that can assure stable, high electrical conductivity over long periods9; a method to improve the environmental stability of graphene electrodes against moisture and chemicals in the air10; and a method to decrease the contact resistance between electrodes and active materials11. One issue, in particular, with CVDg...

Electrifying microbes for the production of chemicals

Powering microbes with electrical energy to produce valuable chemicals such as biofuels has recently gained traction as a biosustainable strategy to reduce our dependence on oil. Microbial electrosynthesis (MES) is one of the bioelectrochemical approaches developed in the last decade that could have critical impact on the current methods of chemical synthesis. MES is a process in which electroa...
