Supramolecular ionogels enable highly efficient electrochromism.

Ionogels are a promising solution to improve the functionality of electrochromic devices (ECDs) by solving issues related to traditional liquid electrolytes, such as volatility, toxicity, and leakage. However, manufacturing ionogels is complicated as it often involves cross-linking polymerization or chemical sol-gel processes, requiring large amounts of inorganic or polymeric gelators. This results in low ionic conductivity and poor ECD performance.

Genetic control of flowering time in woody plants: Roses as an emerging model.

Genetic control of the timing of flowering in woody plants is complex and has yet to be adequately investigated due to their long life-cycle and difficulties in genetic modification. Studies in , one of the best woody plant models, have revealed a highly conserved genetic network for flowering timing in annuals. However, traits like continuous flowering cannot be addressed with .
