Optimizing group-V doping and Se alloying are two main focuses for advancing CdTe photovoltaic technology. We report on nanometer-scale characterizations of microelectronic structures of phosphorus (P)-doped CdSeTe devices using a combination of two atomic force microscopy-based techniques, namely, Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) and scanning spreading resistance microscopy (SSRM). KPFM on device cross-section images distribution of the potential drop across the device.

Senescence is a crucial hallmark of ageing and a significant contributor to the pathology of age-related disorders. As committee members of the young International Cell Senescence Association (yICSA), we aim to synthesise recent advancements in the identification, characterisation, and therapeutic targeting of senescence for clinical translation. We explore novel molecular techniques that have enhanced our understanding of senescent cell heterogeneity and their roles in tissue regeneration and pathology.

Gender disparities for female physicians in academic medicine are longstanding. Female pediatric cardiologists experience inequities in scholarship opportunities, promotion, leadership positions, and compensation. Mentorship groups have been successfully implemented in other subspecialities with promising results.

Article Synopsis
  • Standing orders for HPV vaccines can boost vaccination rates among adolescents aged 9 to 12, yet there's limited understanding of clinical staff readiness to implement them.
  • A study involving 16 healthcare providers revealed benefits like improved clinic flow and early vaccination but also challenges such as communication hurdles and the complexity of vaccination schedules.
  • Strategies to enhance vaccine access include empowering nurses, actively engaging with overdue patients, and educating parents prior to vaccination eligibility.
