Immune imprinting is a phenomenon in which prior antigenic experiences influence responses to subsequent infection or vaccination1,2. The effects of immune imprinting on serum antibody responses after boosting with variant-matched SARS-CoV-2 vaccines remain uncertain. Here, we characterized the serum antibody responses after mRNA vaccine boosting of mice and human clinical trial participants. In mice

Ni-rich layered cathodes promise high energy density, yet suffer from dramatic rate and capacity decay on cycling, which is originated from chemo-mechanical failures with fast growth of electrical and ionic insulating rock-salt phase on the surface. Apart from general approaches of applying inert coating layers, here we regulate chemistry and structure of the inevitable rock-salt phase, and construct

Jury remains out on decline of non-avian dinosaurs Nat. Ecol. Evol. (IF 16.8) Pub Date : 2024-05-14 Luíseach Nic Eoin
In recent years there has been considerable interest in determining whether dinosaurs were in decline in the run up to the asteroid impact that probably caused their mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous period, 66 million years ago. Although birds (a dinosaur subclade) survived into the ensuing Palaeogene, non-avian dinosaurs were wiped out. Environmental changes and trophic restructuring have
