Solution-Processed NiPS Thin Films from Liquid Exfoliated Inks with Long-Lived Spin-Entangled Excitons.

Antiferromagnets are promising materials for future opto-spintronic applications since they show spin dynamics in the THz range and no net magnetization. Recently, layered van der Waals (vdW) antiferromagnets have been reported, which combine low-dimensional excitonic properties with complex spin-structure. While various methods for the fabrication of vdW 2D crystals exist, formation of large area and continuous thin films is challenging because of either limited scalability, synthetic complexity, or low opto-spintronic quality of the final material.

Layered BiOI single crystals capable of detecting low dose rates of X-rays.

Detecting low dose rates of X-rays is critical for making safer radiology instruments, but is limited by the absorber materials available. Here, we develop bismuth oxyiodide (BiOI) single crystals into effective X-ray detectors. BiOI features complex lattice dynamics, owing to the ionic character of the lattice and weak van der Waals interactions between layers.

Management of thoracic trauma.

Managing major thoracic trauma begins with identifying and anticipating injuries associated with the mechanism of injury. The key aims are to reduce early mortality and the impact of associated complications to expedite recovery and restore the patient to their pre-injury state. While imaging is imperative to identify the extent of thoracic trauma, some pathology may require immediate treatment.

Optically Induced Long-Lived Chirality Memory in the Color-Tunable Chiral Lead-Free Semiconductor ()/()-CHEABiBrI ( = 0-10).

Hybrid organic-inorganic networks that incorporate chiral molecules have attracted great attention due to their potential in semiconductor lighting applications and optical communication. Here, we introduce a chiral organic molecule ()/()-1-cyclohexylethylamine (CHEA) into bismuth-based lead-free structures with an edge-sharing octahedral motif, to synthesize chiral lead-free ()/()-CHEABiBrI crystals and thin films. Using single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurements and density functional theory calculations, we identify crystal and electronic band structures.

An Analysis of Demographic and Triage Assessment Findings in Bushfire-Affected Koalas () on Kangaroo Island, South Australia, 2019-2020.

In the 2019-2020 Australian bushfires, Kangaroo Island, South Australia, experienced catastrophic bushfires that burnt approximately half the island, with an estimated 80% of the koala population lost. During and after the event, rescued koalas were triaged at a designated facility and a range of initial data were recorded including rescue location and date, sex, estimation of age, body condition and hydration, and assessment of burn severity ( = 304 records available). Koalas were presented to the triage facility over a span of 10 weeks, with 50.
