Ab-initio study of the effect of bromide mixing into RbPbI$_3$ on the structural, electronic and optical properties [PDF]
The ultra-high efficiency and cost-effective photovoltaics based on halide preovskites have brought a revolution to ongoing photovoltaic research, surpassing the expectations of the scientific community. However, structural stability is a severe issue that hinders their wide-scale integration at the device level.

Effects of formoterol and tiotropium bromide on mucus clearance in patients with COPD [PDF]
Lung mucociliary clearance is impaired in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Treatment guidelines recommend that patients with COPD receive maintenance therapy with long-acting beta-agonists and anticholinergic agents.Twenty-four patients with mild to moderate COPD received formoterol (12 μg, twice daily from Turbuhaler® dry ...

Spectroscopic, Structural, and Theoretical Studies of Halide Complexes with a Urea-based Tripodal Receptor [PDF]
A urea-based tripodal receptor L substituted with p-cyanophenyl groups has been studied for halide anions by $^1$H NMR spectroscopy, density functional theory (DFT) calculations and X-ray crystallography. The $^1$H NMR titration studies suggest that the receptor forms a 1:1 complex with an anion, showing the binding trend in the order of fluoride ...
