The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Efficient, narrow-band, and stable electroluminescence from organoboronnitrogen-carbonyl emitter
We report a molecular-design strategy, i.e., hybridization of organoboron-nitrogen and carbonyl. OLEDs exploiting binary emitting layers achieve ultrapure emission, a maximum efficiency of over 40% with mild roll-off, and operational stability of LT95~ 137 h of the initial luminance at 1000 nits.
On-body detection of unamplified nucleic acid
Wearables have been an emerging wave of technology for continuous monitoring a wide range of biomarkers, but is often overlooked in nucleic acid detection. This study dives into a toolbox for highly sensitive nucleic acid recognition in vivo.
Tough Choices: Defining national net zero goals is critical for food and land use policy
Development of Net-Zero pathways within the Agriculture Forestry and Other Land Use sector is vital for effective policy, but national definitions lack clarity. An Irish study shows how NZ outcomes vary widely, depending on the applied definition.
