A joint research team led by Dr. SeungBeum Suh (Center for Bionics) and Dr. Sehoon Kim (Center for Chemical and Biological Convergence) at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST, President Sang-Rok Oh), and Professor Hyo-Jin Lee at Chungnam National University Hospital, has developed a next-generation intraoperative imaging platform using engineered beneficial bacteria that emit fluorescence specifically at tumor sites.
New University of South Australia research is providing evidence of biological triggers of oil production in oats, a discovery that will help processing and potentially drive further demand for Australian-grown oats.
Researchers have developed an improved vacuum-infiltration system that overcomes long-standing barriers in tomato genetic engineering.
A groundbreaking study introduces a silane coupling agent strategy to enhance the performance of wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells (WBG-PSCs). By anchoring trimethoxysilane (TMOS) molecules at the perovskite/hole transport layer interface, researchers achieved a record-high open-circuit voltage (VOC) of 1.345 V and a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 19.69% in single-junction devices. Extending this approach to all-perovskite tandem solar cells (TSCs), the team reached an impressive 28.45% PCE with exceptional stability, retaining 90% efficiency after 500 hours of operation. The work, published in a leading journal, highlights the transformative potential of interfacial engineering for next-generation photovoltaics.
