Biobased Bionic Spider Silk via Electrostatic Complexation for Simultaneously Harvesting Atmospheric Water and Triboelectric Energy

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based bionic spider silk and spider web are first prepared using polyelectrolyte complexation technique for the simultaneous harvesting of water and triboelectric energy. The advantage of this process lies on entirely bio‐based materials, fully green water‐processable procedures, extremely high production rate (99.36%), excellent fog harvesting ...

Spectrally Tuned Floating‐Gate Synapse Based on Blue‐ and Red‐Absorbing Organic Molecules for Wavelength‐Selective Neural Networks and Fashion Image Classifications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The characteristics of a vertical floating gate heterostructure transistor device that exhibits neuromorphic potentiation under visible light illumination are investigated. Due to spectrally‐tuned absorbance properties of each thin film layer and introduction of tunneling dielectric, the device enables wavelength‐selective tuning of synaptic plasticity

Perspective: OLED Displays Singing with the Blues

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
While blue pixels consume approximately 50% of the energy of OLED display front planes, in the 25 years since their invention, 100% internal efficiency triplet‐controlled phosphorescent OLEDs have not met the stability standards necessary for their adoption.
