Using Holographic 3D Imaging to Observe Virus-Induced Cytopathic Effects

Cytopathic effects (CPEs) are a hallmark of infection. Due to the phototoxicity of classical optical microscopy, CPEs are difficult to observe. This study reports different patterns of viral infection in live cells using Digital HoloTomographic Microscopy (DHTM). DHTM is label-free and records the phase shift of low-energy light passing through the sample on a transparent … Read more

Salt Anion Amphiphilicity-Activated Electrolyte Cosolvent Selection Strategy for Durable Zn Metal Anode

[Research Background] Aqueous zinc-ion batteries have good application prospects in large-scale energy storage due to their high safety and low cost. However, the corrosion of zinc metal in aqueous electrolytes, as well as the growth of zinc dendrites during deposition, leads to low coulombic efficiency and cycling stability of the zinc metal anode, severely hindering … Read more
