Intelligent Stain‐Free Histology on Structural Colorimetric Nanocavities

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Chen and Gan et al. introduce a label‐free imaging platform using inexpensive Nanocavity‐on‐Silicon (NOS) slides. These slides transform subtle tissue variations into vivid structural colors, enabling high‐contrast histological imaging under a regular optical microscope. This stain‐free approach reveals morphological details comparable to traditional H&

Wafer‐Scale Room‐Temperature Processing of Lead‐Free Perovskites for Optoelectronic Applications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We present the first wafer‐scale, room‐temperature synthesis of lead‐free Cs3Sb2X9 (X = Br, I) perovskite films via solvent‐free magnetron sputtering. The resulting high‐performance photodetectors achieve benchmark responsivity, bandwidth, and detectivity, enabling scalable manufacturing for next‐generation optoelectronics.
