Contact-Electro-Catalysis Enables Ambient Coupling of CO2 and NH3 for Urea

Abstract Urea is an essential chemical for agriculture and industry, yet its production remains dominated by energy-intensive thermochemical processes. Here we report a contact-electro-catalysis (CEC) strategy that enables direct urea synthesis from carbon dioxide and aqueous amm...

Plasma Membrane Lipid Asymmetry Dynamically Regulates Passive Diffusion

ABSTRACT Plasma membrane (PM) phospholipid asymmetry is a fundamental feature of eukaryotic cells that regulates signaling, trafficking, and cell fate. Whether it also controls passive diffusion across the PM remains unknown. Here, we show that phospholipid asymmetry is a critica...
