Tuning charge-discharge induced unit cell breathing in layer-structured cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries.

abstract：:xrRNAs from flaviviruses survive in host cells because of their exceptional dichotomic response to the unfolding action of different enzymes. They can be unwound, and hence copied, by replicases, and yet can resist degradation by exonucleases. How the same stretch of xrRNA can encode such diverse responses is an open ...
