TL;DR: Automatic upgrade: attachment of gold nanoparticles (NPs) onto upconverting nanocrystals (NCs) results in plasmonic interactions that lead to a significant enhancement of upconversion emission of more than 2.5.

TL;DR: Density functional theory calculations reveal that the improved activity and stability stems from the promoted production of free OH radicals (on Ni active sites) which facilitate the oxidative removal of carbonaceous poison and combination with CH3CO radicals on adjacent Pd active sites.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the results from three gravitational-wave searches for coalescing compact binaries with component masses above 1, during the first and second observing runs of the Advanced Gravitational-wave detector network.

TL;DR: Here Han et al. choose a polymer with proper molecular structure to crosslink the perovskite grains to greatly improve the device stability, and all photovoltaic parameters are significantly enhanced in the solar cells and the devices also show excellent stability.

TL;DR: This study designed and synthesized hyperbolic architectured ceramic aerogels with nanolayered double-pane walls with a negative Poisson’s ratio and a negative linear thermal expansion coefficient that display robust mechanical and thermal stability and are ideal for thermal superinsulation under extreme conditions, such as those encountered by spacecraft.
