Recent Advances in Wide‐Bandgap Perovskite Solar Cells
Ubiquitous defects predominately account for photo‐instability and open‐circuit voltage losses in wide‐bandgap perovskite solar cells (WBG PSCs). This review comprehensively presents the underlying impact mechanisms, summarizes the advanced optimization strategies across various functional layers and their interfaces to develop efficient and stable WBG

Optimising the seed production cycle of Delphinium elatum L. : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Plant Biology at Massey University, Palmerston North [PDF]
Delphinium elatum L. (Ranunculaceae) hybrids are developed by Dowdeswell's Delphiniums located at 692 Brunswick Road. Wanganui (www.delphinium.co.nz), who grow delphiniums for seed export. Development of new cultivars is important for commercial purposes,

Environment sensing in spring-dispersed seeds of a winter annual Arabidopsis influences the regulation of dormancy to align germination potential with seasonal changes [PDF]
Seed dormancy cycling plays a crucial role in the lifecycle timing of many plants. Little is known of how the seeds respond to the soil seed bank environment following dispersal in spring into the short-term seed bank before seedling emergence in autumn.

CO2‐Responsive Smart Wood Scaffold for Natural Organic Matter Removal without Secondary Pollution
A CO2‐responsive smart wood scaffold is developed for sustainable water purification, achieving efficient natural organic matter (NOM) removal and microbial disinfection without secondary pollution. The CO2‐responsive polymer coating undergoes protonation upon CO2 exposure, enabling strong cation−π interactions with NOM.

Tuning the Morphological Properties of Granular Hydrogels to Control Lymphatic Capillary Formation
Tuning the morphological properties of granular hydrogels is essential to generate robust lymphatic capillary networks that express key lymphatic gene and protein markers. The study demonstrates that 3D in vitro lymphatic tube formation is controlled not by the mechanical properties of the gel, but by the pore size and topology (periodicity) of the gel

Microfluidic Spinning of PEDOT:PSS Microfibers for Nerve Guidance Conduits
This publication explores the fabrication of microfluidically spun PEDOT:PSS microfibers for conductive nerve guidance conduits (NGCs). It details the spinning process, fiber characterization, and biocompatibility assessment. The study highlights the fibers' mechanical and electrical properties, non‐cytotoxicity, and potential for nerve regeneration or

Relationship between seed harvesting method and seed physiological quality for a number of Pioneer maize hybrids [PDF]
The seed germination and seed vigor of eight Pioneer Hi-Bred maize hybrids were evaluated immediately after harvesting and a year later. The aim was to determine whether the seed showed loss of germination and vigor when shelled mechanically.
