New statistical method for evaluating reproducibility in studies of genome organization
Schematic representation of the HiCRep method. HiCRep uses two steps to accurately assess the reproducibility of data from Hi-C experiments. Step 1: Data from Hi-C experiments (represented in triangle graphs) is first smoothed in order to allow researchers to see trends in the data more clearly. Step 2: The data is stratified based on distance to account for the overabundance of nearby interactions in Hi-C data. Credit: Li Laboratory, Penn State University

Low cost, scalable water-splitting fuels the future hydrogen economy
Molecular models representing a 2D heterostructure made of graphene (gray background hexagonal lattice), and islands on top of hexagonal WS2 and MoS, as well as an alloy of the two. Water (H2O) molecules in red (oxygen) and gray (hydrogen) come from the bottom left hand side and get transformed catalytically after interacting with the heterostructures into H2 bubbles (top right hand side).
