Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
IXPE explores polarization of an X-ray pulsar
NASA's brand new X-ray polarimetry mission IXPE reveals spin-orbital misalignment and surprisingly low polarization for the accreting pulsar Her X-1
Unveiling the defect/exciton properties and ultrafast carrier dynamics in high mobility p-type transparent copper iodide
In this work published in Nature communications, we have studied the defect physics, excitonic properties and ultrafast carrier dynamics of copper iodide by a synergistic approach employing a combination of analytical techniques, which is vital for its optoelectronic applications.
Toward Precision Medicine Approaches to Facilitate Safer Opioid Treatment
In our recent manuscript we describe our approach to objectively detect opioid administration using non-invasive wearable sensors. We envision this technology will ultimately be leveraged to support safer opioid prescribing, and identify warning signs before maladaptive use patterns occur.
Body iron stores and the risk for non-communicable disease in Indian children
High body iron stores have been associated with a higher risk for diabetes, dyslipidaemia and even hypertension in adults, with defined pathophysiological mechanisms. This association has not been described in iron supplemented children, and is relevant in India with universal iron fortification.
