      This article presents the first discovery of microRNAs in a unicellular organism, while the miRNAs which have been identified before only exist in multicellular organisms. This discovery also has evolutionary implications, suggesting the miRNA genes in algae, plants and animals might evolved independently.

      Yangtze River is a region with the greatest warming over the Tibetan Plateau. The paper gave an important information that the temperature is increasing suggesting an accelerated warming and a more sensitive response to global warming in the high elevation region.

      This article demonstrated a novel strategy to realize the surface modification of PDMS, which rendered PDMS tunable surface properties, for example, from very hydrophilic to very hydrophobic.

  • Nano-effects, quantum-like properties in electrospun nanofibers

      It is an excellent papers in nanoscience field. This research reveals that fascinating phenomena arise when the diameter of the electrospun nanofibers is less than 100 nm. The nano-effect has been demonstrated for unusual strength, high surface energy, surface reactivity, high thermal and electric conductivity. Dragline silk is made of many nano-fibers with diameter of about 20 nm, thus it can make full use of nano-effects. It is a challenge to developing technologies capable of preparing for nanofibers within 100 nm.

      It offers some insights into the relationship between the type of magnetic sense and evolution. Not for this paper, we might believe that mammals and birds use the same type of magnetic sense, which is based on the inclination instead of polarity, to judge the relative direction of the poles and Equator.
