Advanced Materials for Biologics Delivery to Brain Tumors

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Material innovation is central to unlocking the therapeutic potential of biologics against many central nervous system diseases, including brain cancer. By engineering carriers with controlled transport, targeting, and release properties, advanced materials can overcome the blood–brain barrier and tumor microenvironment, improving the delivery of ...

Giant Planets Transiting Giant Stars [PDF]

, 2019
Every Sun-like star will eventually evolve into a red giant, a transition which can profoundly affect the evolution of a surrounding planetary system. The timescale of dynamical planet evolution and orbital decay has important implications for planetary

A Superwind from Early Post-Red Giant Stars?

, 2001
We suggest that the gap observed at ~20,000 K in the horizontal branches of several Galactic globular clusters is caused by a small amount of extra mass loss that occurs when stars start to ``peel off'' the red giant branch (RGB), i.e., when their ...

Electrolyte Engineering Challenges and Opportunities for Next‐Generation Aqueous Ammonium‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Aqueous ammonium‐ion batteries (AAIBs) face a hydrogen‐bond paradox: the HB network enables fast NH4+ transport but triggers water decomposition. This review dissects this dilemma, evaluates multiple electrolyte engineering strategies, and outlines four future directions for next‐generation AAIB design ABSTRACT Aqueous ammonium‐ion batteries (AAIBs ...

Unconventional Biexciton Dynamics in Superradiant Perovskite Quantum Dots Driven by Many‐Body Correlations

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Single‐particle spectroscopy and variational quantum Monte Carlo simulations reveal that strong many‐body correlations fundamentally alter biexciton radiative recombination in weakly confined CsPbBr3 quantum dots. Intra‐ and inter‐exciton correlations reverse the conventional lifetime hierarchy, yielding biexcitons with longer radiative lifetimes than ...

Spectrally Programmable Spin‐Polarized Photocurrents in WSe2–NiPS3 Magnetic van der Waals Heterostructures

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Heterostructure photodiode devices of p‐type WSe2 with n‐type NiPS3 constructs spectrally protected spin‐polarized photocurrents. The energy of the excitation photon serves as an independent control parameter for spin‐selective photocurrent generation. ABSTRACT Efficient generation and control of spin‐polarized currents in semiconductors remain central

Rapidly rotating red giants

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
Stellar oscillations give seismic information on the internal properties of stars. Red giants are targets of interest since they present mixed modes, wich behave as pressure modes in the convective envelope and as gravity modes in the radiative core ...

Single‐Particle FRET Probes Heterogeneity in the Ligand Shell of Colloidal Perovskite Quantum Dots

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Single‐particle, single‐molecule Förster resonance energy transfer turns dye‐tagged ligands into nanorulers for the otherwise elusive organic shell of CsPbBr3 quantum dots. Distance variations within individual particles reveal pronounced local heterogeneity, while changes in the surrounding ligand chemistry shift the average dye–surface separation ...

ROTATION AND MACROTURBULENCE IN METAL-POOR FIELD RED GIANT AND RED HORIZONTAL BRANCH STARS [PDF]

, 2008
We report the results for rotational velocities, Vrot sin i, and macroturbulence dispersions, ζRT, for 12 metal-poor field red giant branch (RGB) stars and 7 metal-poor field red horizontal branch (RHB) stars. The results are based on Fourier transform
