Shortening the excited state lifetime of thermally activated delayed fluorescence in organic light-emitting diodes by conformation distribution management
Given the conformation heterogeneity of thermally activated delayed fluorescence emitters in practical amorphous state in OLEDs, conformation distribution confinement strategy was proposed to develop TADF materials with short excited state lifetime.
A combined fibre/free-space-optical communication system at millimetre-wave/sub-THz frequencies
A combined fibre/free-space-optical (FSO) communication system for long-haul wireline/wireless transmission at MMW/sub-THz frequencies is realized. This combined communication system at MMW/sub-THz frequencies shows promise for developing high data rates in long-haul wireline-wireless transmission.
Unintended consequences of lockdowns, COVID-19 and the Shadow Pandemic in India
Violence against women is a problem worldwide, with economic costs ranging from 1% to 4% of global GDP. Our study shows that domestic violence and cybercrime complaints increased, while rape and sexual assault complaints decreased, in districts with the most stringent Covid-19 lockdowns in India.
The strange energetics in gravity currents
n fluid flows driven down a slope by their excess density, the ability to transport sediment is dependent on the turbulent energy. Our work showed that the energetics within these currents does not behave at all how one might expect. This is the story of how we came to this realisation.
