Reproducible high-quality perovskite single crystals by flux-regulated crystallization with a feedback loop.

Controlling the linear growth rate, a critical factor that determines crystal quality, has been a challenge in solution-grown single crystals due to complex crystallization kinetics influenced by multiple parameters. Here we introduce a flux-regulated crystallization (FRC) method to directly monitor and feedback-control the linear growth rate, circumventing the need to control individual growth conditions. When applied to metal halide perovskites, the FRC maintains a stable linear growth rate for over 40 h in synthesizing CHNHPbBr and CsPbBr single crystals, achieving outstanding crystallinity (quantified by a full width at half-maximum of 15.

A case of coagulation factor V inhibitor induced by immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy.

A 73-year-old woman with lung adenocarcinoma (cT4N3M1a: Stage IVA) was treated with atezolizumab as the eighth line of therapy. Four weeks after the fourth dose of atezolizumab, the prothrombin time (PT) and activated thromboplastin time (APTT) were prolonged. Coagulation factor V (FV) activity was decreased, and FV inhibitors were observed.

High-Throughput Exploration of Triple-Cation Perovskites via All-in-One Compositionally-Graded Films.

Many devices heavily rely on combinatorial material optimization. However, new material alloys are classically developed by studying only a fraction of giant chemical space, while many intermediate compositions remain unmade in light of the lack of methods to synthesize gapless material libraries. Here report a high-throughput all-in-one material platform to obtain and study compositionally-tunable alloys from solution is reported.

Synergistic Effects of Bipolar Additives on Grain Boundary-Mediated Charge Transport for Efficient Carbon-Based Inorganic Perovskite Solar Cells.

Carbon-based all-inorganic CsPbIBr perovskite solar cells offer high stability against heat and humidity and a suitable band gap for tandem and semitransparent photovoltaics. In CsPbIBr perovskite films, the defects at grain boundaries (GBs) cause charge trapping, reducing the efficiency of the cell. Electronic deactivation of GB has been a conventional strategy to suppress the trapping, but at the cost of charge carrier transport through the boundaries.

Metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the lung mimicking multiple bone abscesses.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung is known to metastasize to the bones, but a presentation similar to bone abscess is rare. We encountered a case with bone metastases that mimicked bone abscess, which delayed the diagnosis of squamous cell lung carcinoma. A 67-year-old man presented with a left upper lung infiltrate and lytic lesions on the left first rib and right fifth rib.

Antagonistic role of XESR1 and XESR5 in mesoderm formation in Xenopus laevis.

The notch signaling pathway is widely conserved from vertebrates to invertebrates and mediates the specification of numerous cell fates during developmental processes. In the Xenopus gastrula embryo, Xdelta1, one of the Notch ligands, is expressed in the prospective mesoderm prior to Xbra expression. Here, we examined the role of Notch signaling in mesoderm formation.
