The acoustic phonons in the organic-inorganic lead halide perovskites have been reported to have anomalously short lifetimes over a large part of the Brillouin zone. The resulting shortened mean free paths of the phonons have been implicated as the origin of the low thermal conductivity. [...]

Cells constantly need to adopt to changing environmental conditions, maintaining homeostasis and proteostasis. Heat shock proteins are a diverse class of molecular chaperones that assist proteins in folding to prevent stress-induced misfolding and aggregation. [...]

Lantibiotics are antimicrobial peptides produced by Gram-positive bacteria and active in the nanomolar range. Nisin is the most intensely studied and used lantibiotic, with applications as food preservative and recognized potential for clinical usage. [...]
