very excited to share our work on #rscposter #RSCMat #RSCENG
Using our understanding of recombination in perovskite-organic tandem interfaces, we designed a single pixel LED that changes emission from red to green! This efficiently preprocess images, enabling real-time display.

Passive thermal management of electronic devices using sorption-based evaporative cooling by Ruzhu Wang & co-workers
cell.com/device/fulltext/S26…
Highlights:
• Cooling performance is evaluated both experimentally and numerically
• The proposed method could achieve a maximum 20°C temperature reduction
• The cooling power of the proposed method could reach up to 602 W/m2
• The proposed method is evaluated in a state-of-the-art 5G base station

Even more. Find the most-eigenvalue component in the model’s latent space.

Just out, probably some of the most fundamental and intricate work from the group! We prove that the conventional mid-gap model used for decades to interpret the absorption of field-induced polarons in conjugated polarons is incorrect …1/5

My intro to correlated electron materials passed 1000 views, thank you! I made this as an intro to the group and for incoming students. This way they can watch on their own time, and should feel more comfortable asking questions: youtube.com/watch?v=sp_f8UlV…

I'd like to have a real conversation about whether AI is a risk for human extinction. Honestly, I don't get how AI poses this risk.
What are your thoughts? And, who do you think has a thoughtful perspective on how AI poses this risk that I should talk to?

In my opinion, the winners would be the Motic BA310 MET-T (4000Eur) or the system based on the zoom lens with the turret of objectives (1000eur).
The zoom lens based one can be easily used to do deterministic transfer as well (as shown in the picture), so 2 systems by the same $

Plants do not suffer in silence. Instead, when thirsty or stressed, they make “airborne sounds,” according to a new study go.nature.com/3Zvppn4
