Ultra-dense (>4,000 pixels per inch) and highly stable full-color III-nitride nanoscale pixels are crucial for near-eye display technologies like virtual and augmented-reality glasses. In this context, InGaN-based long wavelength green microscale light-emitting diodes face major bottlenecks, such as low efficiency and inadequate wavelength stability. These challenges are associated with the presence of both nonradiative surface defects and the strain induced quantum-confined Stark effect.

Scholarly gaming within the school setting may serve as a channel to deliver a mental health curriculum designed to improve self-esteem.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the impact of a scholarly gaming curriculum with and without an embedded preventive mental health curriculum, Mental Health Moments (MHM), on adolescents' self-esteem.
Objectives: Childhood hearing loss has well-known lifelong consequences. Certain rural populations are at higher risk for infection-related hearing loss. For Alaska Native children, historical data on hearing loss prevalence suggest a higher burden of infection-related hearing loss, but updated prevalence data are urgently needed in this high-risk population.
