Picosecond charge localization dynamics in CH₃NH₃PbI₃ perovskite probed by infrared-activated vibrations by Stallhofer, Klara, Nuber, Matthias, Cortecchia, Daniele, Bruno, Annalisa, Kienberger, Reinhard, Deschler, Felix, Soci, Cesare, Iglev, Hristo

“…A subpopulation of these can then fall into deeper trapped states over picoseconds, likely due to local reorganization of the organic molecules surrounding the carriers.…”

Phase-separating peptides for direct cytosolic delivery and redox-activated release of macromolecular therapeutics by Sun, Yue, Lau, Sze Yi, Lim, Zhi Wei, Chang, Shi Chieh, Ghadessy, Farid, Partridge, Anthony, Miserez, Ali

“…Strategies to overcome this challenge often employ nanoscale carriers that can get trapped in endosomal compartments. Here we report conjugated peptides that form pH- and redox-responsive coacervate microdroplets by liquid-liquid phase separation that readily cross the cell membrane. …”

On the largest product-free subsets of the alternating groups by Keevash, Peter, Lifshitz, Noam, Minzer, Dor

“…We solve this problem for large n $n$ , showing that the maximum size is achieved by the previously conjectured extremal examples, namely families of the form { π : π ( x ) ∈ I , π ( I ) ∩ I = ∅ } $\left \{ \pi :\,\pi (x)\in I, \pi (I)\cap I=\varnothing \right \} $ and their inverses. …”

Comparison of models to predict incident chronic liver disease: a systematic review and external validation in Chinese adults by Cong, X, Song, S, Li, Y, Song, K, MacLeod, C, Cheng, Y, Lv, J, Yu, C, Sun, D, Pei, P, Yang, L, Chen, Y, Millwood, I, Wu, S, Yang, X, Stevens, R, Chen, J, Chen, Z, Li, L, Kartsonaki, C, Pang, Y

“…Models with high discrimination (C-index ≥ 0.70) in CKB were as follows: (1) general population: Li-2018 and Wen 1–2012 for HCC, CLivD score (non-lab and lab) and dAAR for CLD; (2) hepatitis B virus (HBV) infected individuals: Cao-2021 for HCC and CAP-B for CLD. In CKB, all models tended to overestimate the risk (O:E ratio 0.55–0.94). …”

The effects of processing conditions on the morphology of single conjugated polymers. by Yeo, Hui Lin.

“…Spun-cast single chains were largely found to give neat intensity traces exhibiting discrete emission levels and clear off-states, suggesting a compact and collapsed disordered conformation favoring efficient energy funneling to one or a few low-energy exciton traps. These emissive centers of the collapsed chain were proposed to be intrachain aggregates consisting of closely π-stacked segments, therefore possessing weak oscillator strength and an extended radiative lifetime. …”

Controlled Growth and Reliable Thickness-Dependent Properties of Organic-Inorganic Perovskite Platelet Crystal by Niu, Lin, Zeng, Qingsheng, Shi, Jia, Cong, Chunxiao, Wu, Chunyang, Liu, Fucai, Zhou, Jiadong, Fu, Wei, Fu, Qundong, Jin, Chuanhong, Yu, Ting, Liu, Xinfeng, Liu, Zheng

“…Furthermore, from the time-resolved photoluminescence measurements, the best optoelectronic performance of the perovskite platelet is attributed with thickness of ≈30 nm to its dominant longest lifetime (≈4.5 ns) of perovskite excitons, which means lower surface traps or defects. This work supplies an alternative to the synthesis of high-quality organic perovskite and their possible optoelectronic applications with the most suitable materials.…”
