Actuation of Cell Layers in Three Dimensions

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The alignment of fibers and cells in living tissues affect their mechanical properties and functionality. In this context, one can draw an analogy between tissues and nematic liquid crystal elastomers. We explore this analogy by growing fibroblasts on 2D‐patterned substrates and observing the contraction of cell sheets upon detachment from the

The AstroSat UV Deep Field South. V. Constraints on the Average Escape of Ionizing Photons in the Cosmic Dusk

The Astrophysical Journal
We investigate the escape of ionizing (Lyman-continuum (LyC)) photons from 49 star-forming galaxies at redshifts of ∼1–1.5, using far-UV imaging from the Ultra-Violet Imaging Telescope on board AstroSat. The sample spans a wide range of stellar masses ( $

When Poor Exciton Dissociation Limits Photocurrents in Organic Solar Cells: Why Low Offset Non‐Fullerene Acceptor Blends Can't Be Efficient

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The energetic offset between the donor and the acceptor components in organic photoactive layers is central to the tradeoff between photovoltage and photocurrent losses. This Perspective covers the most important issues surrounding this topic in non‐fullerene acceptor blends, from the difficulty of accurately determining state energies and driving ...

Stellar Library of Differential Emission Measures and Extreme Ultraviolet Spectra: Dwarf Stars Observed by the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer

The Astrophysical Journal
Extreme ultraviolet (EUV; 100–912 Å) photons influence the formation and evolution of planets by ionizing hydrogen and other species, but the EUV radiation of most exoplanet host stars is poorly constrained.

Hot Stars, Young Stellar Populations and Dust with Swift/UVOT

Universe
In this review, we highlight the contributions made by the Swift/UVOT instrument to the understanding of the ultraviolet (UV) attenuation and extinction properties of interstellar dust and provide insight into hot stars and young stellar populations. The

Photocatalytic Water Splitting on the Lunar Surface: Prospects for In Situ Resource Utilization

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Water has been found in craters on the moon nearby locations which are illuminated >80% of the time. Photocatalysis uses energy from sunlight to drive chemical reactions such as water splitting to produce oxygen and hydrogen. It is a scalable technology that requires lighter equipment and utilizes resources available on the moon. ABSTRACT The discovery

Ultraviolet and Gravitational Wave Signatures of Magnetar Formation

The Astrophysical Journal
We investigate the impact of gravitational wave (GW) emission by a newly born magnetar onto its electromagnetic (EM) counterparts in the Ultraviolet Transient Astronomy Satellite (ULTRASAT) band.

Linking Device Performance to Nanoscale Photoactivation of Grain Boundaries in 2D Hybrid Halide Perovskites

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
The opto‐electronic response of polycrystalline (PEA)2PbBr4 thin films is investigated by correlating macroscopic photodetector performance with nanoscale mapping techniques. Grain boundary density is systematically tuned through crystallization control and linked to device responsivity.
