Deuteration-enhanced neutron contrasts to probe amorphous domain sizes in organic photovoltaic bulk heterojunction films
This study unveils the amorphous nanomorphology of organic photovoltaics, employing neutron scattering and deuteration to enhance organic donor and acceptor contrast. It uncovers Y6's short-range aggregation within amorphous intermixed regions, pivotal for charge extraction and recombination.
Squeezing Cells for High-Throughput Discovery of Phase Separating Proteins

Estimation and usefulness of measurement uncertainty from sampling at different spatial scales: microns to kilometres
Measurements made on samples are the basis of most scientific decision, but always contain uncertainty. Much of this uncertainty arises from how the samples are taken, and this can be quantified using the Duplicate Method, which can be applied at any spatial scale, from kilometre to microns.
Structurally Diverse Macrocycle Co-Crystals for Solid-State Luminescence Modulation
Organic co-crystals are useful in the fabrication of functional materials, but it is challenging to achieve structural diversity of co-crystals. Here, the authors report nine sets of macrocycle co-crystals with diverse structures and stoichiometric ratios giving different luminescence properties.
