The rational molecular design of non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) in organic solar cells (OSCs) can profoundly influence the photovoltaic (OPV) performance. To...

Sub-picoliter Traceability of Microdroplet Gravimetry and Microscopy

Author(s)
Lindsay C. C. Elliott, Adam L. Pintar, Craig R. Copeland, Thomas Brian Renegar, Ronald G. Dixson, Robert Ilic, R. Michael Verkouteren, Samuel M. Stavis
Volumetric analysis of single microdroplets is difficult to perform by ensemble gravimetry, whereas optical microscopy is often inaccurate beyond the resolution...

Excipient Innovation Through Precompetitive Research

Author(s)
Bruce Yu, Marc Taraban, Katharine Briggs, Robert Brinson, John Marino
The mRNA COVID-19 vaccines developed by Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna represent a triumph of vaccine development. The core mRNA component of these vaccines is now...

Spin Dynamics in the Skyrmion-Host Lacunar Spinel GaV4S8

Author(s)
G. Pokharel, H. Arachchige, S. Gao, S.-H. Do, R. Fishman, G. Ehlers, Yiming Qiu, Jose Rodriguez Rivera, M. B. Stone, H. Zhang, Stephen Wilson, D. Mandrus, A. Christianson
In the lacunar spinel GaV 4S 8, the interplay of spin, charge, and orbital degrees of freedom produces a rich phase diagram that includes an unusual Neel-type...

The genotype-phenotype landscape of an allosteric protein

Author(s)
Drew S. Tack, Peter Tonner, Abe Pressman, Nathanael Olson, Eugenia Romantseva, Nina Alperovich, Olga Vasilyeva, David Ross, Sasha F. Levy
Allostery is a fundamental biophysical mechanism where the activity of a biomolecule is regulated by the binding of a ligand. Despite playing a central role in...

Orientation of Thin Polyamide Layer-by-Layer Films on Non-Porous Substrates
