Research Highlights
Long-lived, bright biexcitons demonstrated in CdZnSe/CdS quantum dots
In a Nano Letters paper, researchers contribute to our understanding of multiexciton photophysics and highlight the practical applications in technologies requiring radiative multiexcitonic emission.
Cathodes with multiple lives demonstrated in lithium-air batteries
In a Small: Methods paper, scientists propose a method for creating recyclable, binder-free air electrodes for lithium-air batteries.
Software pipeline for automated extraction and annotation of image datasets from science journals
In a Patterns paper, scientists present a toolkit for automatic extraction and annotation of images from the scientific literature by use of rule-based natural language processing and image recognition.
