Article Synopsis
- Designing efficient organic polymer photocatalysts for hydrogen production using visible and near-infrared (NIR) light remains challenging.
- Researchers developed a new series of polymer nanoparticles (Pdots) using ITIC and BTIC units with different π-linkers, which work effectively alone without needing to combine with other materials.
- The difluorothiophene (ThF) π-linker improves charge transfer between donor and acceptor components in the polymers, resulting in significantly enhanced hydrogen production rates of 279 µmol/h with visible light and 20.5 µmol/h with NIR light, and an apparent quantum yield of 4.76% at 700 nm.
Sustained carrying could result in muscular fatigue of the upper limb. Ten male and ten female subjects were recruited for measurements of isometric arm strength before and during carrying a load for a period of 4 minutes. Two levels of load of carrying were tested for each of the male and female subjects.

Evidence from empirical studies utilizing a sport-specific design has shown that athletes have superior inhibitory control. However, less is known about whether this superiority might (1) still be seen in a general cognitive task without a sport-related context; (2) be modulated differentially by different sporting expertise (e.
