Application

Cesium chloride can be used:
  • To prepare Ga2S3-GeS2-CsCl glasses, which are transparent in the entire visible range.
  • To fabricate WO3 islands and network structures, which improves the light extraction efficiency of an OLED.
It can also be used to make solutions for the separation of RNA from DNA by density gradient centrifugation.

Effects of alkali metal chlorides on the properties of mixed negatively charged lipid bilayers are experimentally measured and numerically simulated. Addition of 20mol% of negatively charged phosphatidylserine to zwitterionic phosphatidylcholine strengthens adsorption of monovalent cations revealing their specificity, in the

Interneurons are critical for neuronal circuit function, but how their dendritic morphologies and membrane properties influence information flow within neuronal circuits is largely unknown. We studied the spatiotemporal profile of synaptic integration and short-term plasticity in dendrites of mature cerebellar
