Impact of Nano‐Scale Defects on the Macroscopic Amplified Spontaneous Emission in Polycrystalline Perovskite Thin‐Films

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
In this work, we discovered that optical gain within these polycrystalline perovskite thin films occurs primarily at defective sites, where, despite the low photoluminescence efficiency, we demonstrated high optical gain efficiency and long photocarrier lifetime. Our findings highlight the importance of defects in the development of electrically pumped

What the sea portends: a reconsideration of contested island tropes [PDF]

open access: yesIsland Studies Journal, 2013
This paper argues for a shift in the focus of island-themed scholarship away from theories of islandness toward an engagement with psychologies of island experience. The former project has become mired in intractable dilemmas.

Ocean Energy: Using the Ocean's Tides, Waves, and Heat to Generate Electricity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Key facts: - The oceans' tides, waves, current, and heat can be used to generate electricity. These resources are renewable, because the moon's gravity drives tides, and winds create waves.

Machine Learning–Assisted Bio‐Interfacial Engineering Resolves Structural–Functional Conflicts in Nanocomposites

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A machine learning‐guided bio‐interfacial design strategy resolves the long‐standing strength–toughness–functionality trade‐off in nanocomposites. By efficiently mapping high‐performance regions in the composition–processing space, the approach delivers hierarchically entangled, nanosheet‐pinned architectures that combine mechanical robustness ...

Single‐Atom Photocatalyst as Floatable Artificial Leaf for Upcycling Oceanic Plastic Waste

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
To resolve the catastrophic disaster of oceanic plastic pollution, the novel Ru single atom loaded ZnIn2S4 photocatalysts, in the forms of powder or floatable artificial leaf, were prepared for direct conversion of raw polypropylene plastic into valuable chemicals. The optimized catalyst exhibits exceptional performance, with a total formic/acetic acid

The ocean carbon sink – impacts, vulnerabilities and challenges [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is, next to water vapour, considered to be the most important natural greenhouse gas on Earth. Rapidly rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations caused by human actions such as fossil fuel burning, land-use change or cement production ...

AI–Guided 4D Printing of Carnivorous Plants–Inspired Microneedles for Accelerated Wound Healing

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents an artificial intelligence (AI)‐guided 4D‐printed microneedle platform inspired by carnivorous plants for wound healing. A thermo‐responsive shape memory polymer enables body temperature–triggered self‐coiling for autonomous wound closure.
