Metal halide perovskite (MHP) materials could revolutionize photovoltaic (PV) technology but sustainability issues need to be considered. Here the authors outline how MHP-PV modules could scale a sustainable supply chain.
Microbial products only work if the microorganisms are kept alive — usually through the use of cold chains. High-throughput mapping of the microbial–material combinations landscape generated specific dry formulations that enable the microorganisms to survive extreme storage and processing conditions.
The instability of n-type organic semiconductors in air is a long-standing challenge in organic electronics. Now, a strategy based on the use of vitamin C is developed to stabilize organic semiconductors. Vitamin C scavenges reactive oxygen species and inhibits their generation, improving the performance and stability of organic semiconductors and their electronic devices.
The synergy between the field-induced antiferroelectric to ferroelectric phase transition and substrate constraints results in enhanced electromechanical responses.
Harnessing the large-scale integration and individual control of artificial atoms on silicon photonic circuits enables the realization of a rapidly programmable topological photonic chip that can be dynamically reconfigured to explore diverse topological phenomena.
Researchers have demonstrated that skyrmion-like topological spin textures can be created in a controlled manner via the local application of an electric field with a tip electrode on a multiferroic BiFeO3 thin film.
Tracking the momentum of scattered electrons reveals the temporal evolution of phonon populations on ultrafast timescales, helping to quantify the contributions of the cooperative electronic–lattice order responsible for phase transitions in quantum materials.
A pH-activatable DNA origami nanostructure with geometrically patterned CD95 ligands reverses symptoms in a mouse model of rheumatoid arthritis without apparent side effects.
This Review introduces coherent light–matter interactions in solution-processed lead halide perovskite colloidal nanocrystals, discussing opportunities and challenges in the context of quantum information technologies.
Lyophilized lymph nodes are a natural scaffold to deliver chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells to tumour resection sites, where they serve as a natural T cell-supporting niche and enhance CAR T cell efficacy in reducing recurrence in preclinical tumour resection models.
Photolysis and ion migration under electrical bias cause intrinsic instability in halide perovskite solar cells. By harnessing materials that both capture and confine iodide and polyiodide ions at the perovskite surface, the stability of devices under ultraviolet irradiation, thermal–light conditions or reverse bias can be greatly increased.
Precision laser irradiation of liquid-crystal polymer networks with dynamic bonds enables reversible phase patterning to create multi-stimuli responsive materials towards wearable devices and information encryption.
Integrating electrochemically actuated soft robotics with ultra-flexible microelectrodes enables reversible and gentle wrapping around nerves for high-quality recordings.
