Multidimensional free shape-morphing flexible neuromorphic devices with regulation at arbitrary points

Integration of perception and action is still difficult for current physically separated designs of neural-imitating electronics. This work presents a flexible device which can emulate essential synaptic functions and replicate muscle actuation in response to efferent neuromuscular commands.

Molecular insights into receptor binding of recent emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants

The SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein mediates viral entry by binding of its receptor-binding ___domain (RBD) to the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor and mutations of the S protein may have a great impact on virus transmissibility. Here, the authors characterize the interactions of six different SARS-CoV-2 RBD variants among them Alpha, Beta and Gamma and present crystal structures of these ACE2-RBD complexes.

In situ atomic-scale observation of grain size and twin thickness effect limit in twin-structural nanocrystalline platinum

The deformation mechanisms of micron-sized twinned metals are well-understood, but it is not so for twinned nanocrystalline metals. Here, the authors use high resolution microscopy to image the deformation of nanocrystalline twinned platinum and show that grain boundary behaviors dominate plasticity below 6 nm.
