Combining Fluorescence and Electron Microscopy for 3D Cell Imaging
Combining the high-throughput and large scale analysis of fluorescence microscopy with the enhanced resolution capabilities of electron microscopy can allow imaging of cellular interactions and mechanisms without being limited by resolution.
Improving Avalanche Photodiodes – Quantum Dots do the Trick
An avalanche photodiode design with a quantum dot multiplication structure attains a high maximum gain factor and a superior gain noise performance.
A Bright Future for Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Compounds
Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF)-type compounds have potential to become high-efficiency-solid-state lighting technologies in the future.
Solvent is the Key to Making Perovskite Nanosheets
The synthesis of ultrathin 2D nanosheets (NSs) remains a significant challenge for perovskite materials. Now, researchers have demonstrated a facile crystallization method for the synthesis of free-standing 2D phenylethylammonium lead halide NSs.
