PANDALens: Towards AI-Assisted In-Context Writing on OHMD During Travels by Cai, Runze, Janaka, Nuwan, Chen, Yang, Wang, Lucia, Zhao, Shengdong, Liu, Can

“…While effective for recording and sharing experiences, traditional in-context writing tools are relatively passive and unintelligent, serving more like instruments rather than companions. This reduces primary task (e.g., travel) enjoyment and hinders high-quality writing. …”

Band-gap tuning of lead halide perovskites using a sequential deposition process by Kulkarni, Sneha A., Baikie, Tom, Boix, Pablo P., Yantara, Natalia, Mathews, Nripan, Mhaisalkar, Subodh

“…A systematic shift of the absorption band edge to shorter wavelengths is observed with increasing Br content in the perovskite films, which results in the decrement of the photocurrent. Nanorod like morphological features are also observed for perovskite films with an iodide to bromide molar ratio of <0.7.…”
