  • A study of X-ray crystal structures of the Escherichia coli xylose transporter XylE, which is a bacterial homologue of the human glucose transporters GLUT1–4, complexed with glucose and its analogues yields a framework for understanding the molecular mechanism by which membrane proteins transport glucose and other sugars across cell membranes.

  • Development of simple uranyl recognition motifs possessing siderophore-like binding strength and selectivity presents a challenge. Here the authors show a comprehensive theoretical and experimental study on uranyl binding with a polymeric adsorbent material decorated with a non-toxic siderophore inspired small molecule chelator.

  • Amidoxime-functionalized polymeric adsorbents are the most promising materials for harvesting uranium from seawater. Here the authors investigate the preferential extraction of vanadium over uranium by polyamidoximes by exploring the unusually strong and selective binding of vanadium.

  • Flexoelectricity is the ability of materials to generate electricity upon bending. Here it is demonstrated that adding light to mechanical oscillation enhances effective flexoelectric coefficients by orders of magnitude, with the halide perovskites showing the largest coefficients.
