The nanocrystal has captured immense attention among scientists in recent years and is expected to distinguish itself in the domains of display, illumination and detection in the future. Nonetheless, since its inception in the 1980s, the microscopic appearance of this future “superstar”, in particular the surface chemistry of the organic ligand, has remained elusive. Scientists can depict its rough “configuration”, but its details are based on pure guesswork. This therefore hampers the ...

An international team by ZJU and Stanford scientists unravel sex-specific association between gut microbiome and fat distribution.The human gut microbiome is a complicated, dynamic community consisting of 10–100 trillion microbes, which carries ~100 times more genes than the human genome. Studies have confirmed the relationship between the gut microbiome and the host obesity. However, little is known about how sex modulates the association between gut microbiome and fat distribution.The research...
