TL;DR: This optimised polymer semiconductor represents a significant progress in semiconductor development, dispelling prevalent skepticism surrounding practical usability of organic semiconductors for high-performance microelectronic devices, opening up application opportunities hitherto functionally or economically inaccessible with silicon technologies, and providing an excellent structural framework for fundamental studies of charge transport in organic systems.

TL;DR: It is found that the overall barrier for proton movement within the HPW-meso-silica membranes is determined by the intramolecular proton transfer pathway, which explains why the proton conductivity remains unchanged when the weight percentage of HPW on meso- silica is above 67 wt %.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the HPW-meso-silica nanocomposite has an exceptionally high water retention capability and is a promising proton exchange membrane material for fuel cells operating at reduced humidity and elevated temperatures.

TL;DR: In this article, the decomposition pathways of methanol on Pd(1.1) surface in both neutral and alkaline medium are studied by density functional theory, and the stepwise pathways involving methoxy, formaldehyde, formyl, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide are supported by experimental observations.

TL;DR: It was shown that at pH below 7.0, the electrophoretic mobility of 3-mercaptopropionic acid (3MPA) coated CdSe–ZnS core–shell quantum dots (denoted as QD-3M PA) was very small, implying acid dissociation, and the degree of which was proportional to the pH value.
