Spin coating epitaxial films
Spin-coated films, such as photoresists for lithography or perovskite films for solar cells, are either amorphous or polycrystalline. We show that epitaxial films of inorganic materials such as cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr3), lead(II) iodide (PbI2), zinc oxide (ZnO), and sodium chloride (NaCl) can be deposited onto a variety of single-crystal and single-crystal–like substrates by simply spin coating either solutions of the material or precursors to the material. The out-of-plane and in-plane orientations of the spin-coated films are determined by the substrate. The thin stagnant layer of supersaturated solution produc...

Family of man who died after methylene chloride exposure call EPA decision "step in the right direction"
The EPA is banning the consumer use of methylene chloride, a toxic chemical used in paint strippers that is linked to dozens of deaths. But the agency is not banning the chemical for commercial use, which critics say leaves workers unprotected. Drew Wynne died in 2017 after using a paint stripper containing methylene chloride he bought at a local hardware store. Since his death, his family fought to get the product off retailers' shelves. They told CBS News ’ Anna Werner Friday's EPA announcement was bittersweet. (Source: Health News: CBSNews.com)

Two papers describe how a membrane protein can move both lipids and ions
(University of Groningen) The TMEM16 family of membrane proteins was hailed as representing the elusive calcium-activated chloride channels. However, the majority of the family members turned out to be scramblases, proteins that shuffle lipids between both sides of a lipid membrane, some also with non-selective ion conductance. A new study on proteins of the TMEM16 family, published in two back-to-back papers in the journal eLife, shows what the structures of these proteins reveal about their function.
