Lei, Xin (author), Zhang, Jiayan (author), Hong, H. (author), Yuan, Zhishan (author), Liu, Zewen (author)Nanopores have attracted widespread attention in DNA sequencing and protein or biomarker detection, owning to the single-molecule-scale detection accuracy. Despite the most use of naturally biological nanopores before, solid-state nanopores are widely developed with strong robustness, controllable sizes and geometries, a wide range of...review 2022

(author), Paragi, Zsolt (author), An, Tao (author), Zhang, Yingkang (author), Cao, Hongmin (author), Sbarrato, Tullia (author)High-redshift radio sources provide plentiful opportunities for studying the formation and evolution of early galaxies and supermassive black holes. However, the number of known radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN) above redshift 4 is rather limited. At high redshifts, it appears that blazars, with relativistically beamed jets pointing...journal article 2022
