Electrocatalytic two-electron oxygen reduction has emerged as a promising alternative to the energy- and waste-intensive anthraquinone process for distributed H 2 O 2  production. This process, however, suffers from strong competition from the four-electron pathway leading to low H 2 O 2 selectivity. Herein, we report using a superhydrophilic O 2 -entrapping electrocatalyst to enable superb two-electron oxygen reduction electrocatalysis. Read More

A fundamental task in single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) analysis is the identification of transcriptionally distinct groups of cells. Numerous methods have been proposed for this problem, with a recent focus on methods for the cluster analysis of ultra-large scRNA-seq data sets produced by droplet-based sequencing technologies. Most existing methods rely on a sampling step to bridge the gap between algorithm scalability and volume of the data. Read More

The heterogeneous injury pathophysiology of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a barrier to developing highly sensitive and specific diagnostic tools. Phage display, a protein-protein screening technique routinely used in drug development, has the potential to be a powerful biomarker discovery tool for TBI. However, analysis of these large and diverse phage libraries is a bottleneck to moving through the discovery pipeline in a timely and efficient manner. Read More

DNA-based nanomachines have aroused tremendous interest because of their potential applications in bioimaging, biocomputing, and diagnostic treatment. Herein, we constructed a novel exonuclease III-propelled and signal-amplified stochastic DNA walker that autonomously walked on a spherical particle-based 3D track through a burnt-bridge mechanism, during which nanosurface energy transfer (NSET) occurred between the fluorescent dye modified on hairpin DNA and the surface of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). As a proof of concept, this stochastic DNA walker achieves prominent detection performance of HIV DNA in the range of 0. Read More
