CAS QIBEBT develops novel Inducible promoter system for Clostridium

The group around CUI Qiu has developed a new arabinose-based promoter system for C. cellulolyticum which includes an oxygen-independent fluorescent reporter, a sensitive MazF-based counterselection genetic marker and a precise gene knock-out method based on an...

Suzhou researchers develop wearable fibrous perovskite for e-textiles

The group around Qingwen LI at CAS SINANO in Suzhou has coated carbon nanotubes with perovskite, obtaining a bendable fibre which convenrts about 3 % of solar enery into electricity. The prototype material wears down within 4 days due to air and moisture, but the...
