Opsin proteins are essential molecules in mediating the ability of animals to detect and use
light for diverse biological functions. Therefore, understanding the evolutionary history of
opsins is key to understanding the evolution of light detection and photoreception in …

Flexible, stretchable, and spanning microelectrodes that carry signals from one circuit
element to another are needed for many emerging forms of electronic and optoelectronic
devices. We have patterned silver microelectrodes by omnidirectional printing of …

The high natural abundance of silicon, together with its excellent reliability and good
efficiency in solar cells, suggest its continued use in production of solar energy, on massive
scales, for the foreseeable future. Although organics, nanocrystals, nanowires and other …

Conformal printing of electrically small antennas onto the convex and concave surfaces of
hemispherical glass substrates is demonstrated. Their bandwidth approaches the
fundamental limit for their size, offering nearly an order of magnitude improvement over …

Storage of photovoltaic and wind electricity in batteries could solve the mismatch problem
between the intermittent supply of these renewable resources and variable demand. Flow
batteries permit more economical long-duration discharge than solid-electrode batteries by …

Crystalline solids with extended non-interpenetrating three-dimensional crystal structures
were synthesized that support well-defined pores with internal diameters of up to 48
angstroms. The Zn 4 O (CO 2) 6 unit was joined with either one or two kinds of organic link …

Stomatopod crustaceans possess apposition compound eyes that contain more
photoreceptor types than any other animal described. While the anatomy and physiology of
this complexity have been studied for more than two decades, few studies have investigated …

Stomatopod crustaceans, or mantis shrimp, are renowned for their complex visual systems.
Their array of 16 types of photoreceptors provides complex color reception, as well as linear
and circular polarization sensitivity [1–6]. The least-understood components of their retina …

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the commonest cause of death. Here, we report an
association analysis in 63,746 CAD cases and 130,681 controls identifying 15 loci reaching
genome-wide significance, taking the number of susceptibility loci for CAD to 46, and a …
