In laboratory research and clinical practice, externally-applied electric fields have been widely used to control neuronal activity. It is generally accepted that neuronal excitability is controlled by electric current that depolarizes or hyperpolarizes the excitable cell membrane. What determines t

An ammonium Mg formate framework, prepared by using di-protonated 1,3-propanediamine (pnH2(2+)), has a rare three-dimensional binodal (4(12)⋅6(3))(4(9)⋅6(6))3 Mg-formate framework with elongated cavities accommodating pnH2(2+)⋅⋅⋅H2O⋅⋅⋅pnH2(2+) assemblies. It displays a para-electric

It is important to determine the amplitude and variation characteristics of piezovoltage in wet bone, which can, in turn, be taken as a basis for studying whether electrical signals induced by external forces can affect the growth of bone cells. This work measured the characteristics of piezoelectri
