Anchoring the Interface: Building Stable 2D/3D Structures on Inorganic Perovskites
We set out to replicate the success of 2D/3D heterostructures in inorganic perovskites, but nothing grew. When it finally did, the layer vanished under heat. By introducing fluorinated spacers with anchoring groups, we stabilized heterostructures and suppressed cation migration at high temperatures.
Introducing Sedatic Hunger: A New Lens on Why We Eat
The traditional classification of hunger into physiological and hedonic types overlooks an important third category: hunger as a purely functional act, devoid of sensory or emotional motivation.
