In this study, a molecule with a three-dimensional (3D) cyclic structure, a cryptand, is demonstrated as an effective additive for the quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) PEACsPbBr ( = 3, herein) to improve its light-emitting performance. The cryptand can effectively regulate the phase distribution of the quasi-2D perovskite through its intense interaction with PbBr, benefitting from its cage-like structure that can better capture the Pb ions. Due to the inhibited growth of the low- phases, a much-concentrated phase distribution is achieved for the cryptand-containing films. Moreover, its constituent O/N atoms can passivate the uncoordinated Pb ions to improve the film quality. Such a synergistic effect thereby facilitates the charge/energy transfer among the multiple phases and reduces the non-radiative recombination. As a result, the quasi-2D perovskite light-emitting diode (PeLED) with the optimized cryptand doping ratio is shown to deliver the highest luminance () of 15 532 cd m with a highest external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 4.02%. Compared to the pristine device, is enhanced by ∼5 times and EQE is enhanced by ∼10 times.

Guangxi Key Laboratory of Machine Vision and Intelligent Control, Wuzhou University, Wuzhou 543000, China.

A high-quality optical path alignment is essential for achieving superior image quality in optical biological microscope (OBM) systems. The traditional automatic alignment methods for OBMs rely heavily on complex masker-detection techniques. This paper introduces an innovative, image-sensor-based optical path alignment approach designed for low-power objective (specifically 4×) automatic OBMs.

Acoustic monitoring facilitates the detailed study of herbivore grazing by generating a timeline of sound bursts associated with jaw movements (JMs) that perform bite or chew actions. The unclassified stream of JM events was used here in an observational study to explore the notion of "grazing time". Working with shepherded goat herds in a wooded landscape, a horn-based acoustic sensor with a vibration-type microphone was deployed on a volunteer animal along each of 12 foraging routes.

Lens-Free On-Chip Quantitative Phase Microscopy for Large Phase Objects Based on a Biplane Phase Retrieval Method.

Sensors (Basel)

Lens-free on-chip microscopy (LFOCM) is a powerful computational imaging technology that combines high-throughput capabilities with cost efficiency. However, in LFOCM, the phase recovered by iterative phase retrieval techniques is generally wrapped into the range of -π to π, necessitating phase unwrapping to recover absolute phase distributions. Moreover, this unwrapping process is prone to errors, particularly in areas with large phase gradients or low spatial sampling, due to the absence of reliable initial guesses.

The vast majority of breast cancer patients require radiotherapy but some of them will develop local recurrences and potentially metastases in the future. Recent data show that exosomal cargo is essential in these processes. Thus, we investigated the influence of ionising radiation on exosome properties and their ability to modify the sensitivity and biology of non-irradiated cells.

Nowadays, nucleic acid derivatives capable of modulating gene expression at the RNA level have gained widespread recognition as promising therapeutic agents. A suitable degree of biological stability of oligonucleotide therapeutics is required for in vivo application; this can be most expeditiously achieved by the chemical modification of the internucleotidic phosphate group, which may also affect their cellular uptake, tissue distribution and pharmacokinetics. Our group has previously developed a strategy for the chemical modification of the phosphate group via the Staudinger reaction on a solid phase of the intermediate dinucleoside phosphite triester and a range of, preferably, electron deficient organic azides such as sulfonyl azides during automated solid-phase DNA synthesis according to the conventional β-cyanoethyl phosphoramidite scheme.
