Deformation induced intermediate metastable lattice structures facilitate ordered B2 nucleation in a fcc-based high entropy alloy (open access)

Deformation induced intermediate metastable lattice structures facilitate ordered B2 nucleation in a fcc-based high entropy alloy

This article reports a novel mixed-mode coupled displacive-diffusional transformation resulting in homogeneously distributed intra-granular B2 precipitates within the fcc matrix.

The Implications of Cancer Stem Cells for Cancer Therapy (open access)

The Implications of Cancer Stem Cells for Cancer Therapy

This review summarizes the characteristics, evidences and development of CSCs, as well as implications and challenges for cancer treatment. Surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are universally recognized as the most effective anti-cancer therapies. Recent studies have showed that cancer stem cells (CSCs), a small subpopulation of tumor cells, can generate bulk populations of nontumorigenic cancer cell progeny through the self-renewal and differentiation processes.

Generalized molecular solvation in non-aqueous solutions by a single parameter implicit solvation scheme (open access)

Generalized molecular solvation in non-aqueous solutions by a single parameter implicit solvation scheme

Article presenting a systematic parametrization protocol for the Self-Consistent Continuum Solvation (SCCS) model resulting in optimized parameters for 67 non-aqueous solvents. The parametrization is based on a collection of ≈6000 experimentally measured partition coefficients, which were collected in the Solv@TUM database presented here. The accuracy of the optimized SCCS model is comparable to the well-known universal continuum solvation model (SMx) family of methods, while relying on only a single fit parameter and thereby largely reducing statistical noise.
