Scintillators convert high energy radiation into detectable light, making them essential materials for radiation detection and X ray imaging. Yet some of the energy deposited by radiation is lost before it can be emitted as light. A study published in Research shows how restructuring the light emitting units in a metal halide can reduce these losses by confining electronic excitations more strongly.

A review maps how cancer-proven CAR-T therapy could shift medicine from treating individual diseases toward targeting the shared process of aging.

The fast electron beam pinching in nonuniform plasmas, where a density upramp acts as a plasma lens to violently self-focus the beam, offers a promising pathway toward ultra-bright gamma-ray sources with photon energies reaching up to the GeV scale.

To enhance the type-I PDT efficacy of mitochondria-targeted photosensitizers, Prof. Lin Li's team at the School of Flexible Electronics, Northwestern Polytechnical University, has constructed a series of cationic pyrido cyanines with a (D-π)_n-A architecture (n = 1,2,3).

A new contrastive-learning framework enables hyperspectral classification with few labels. It masks redundant spatial and spectral information, mixes samples into positive pairs, and separates spatial and spectral features.
