We report the preparation of degradable capsules via layer-by-layer assembly using polyelectrolyte (PE) polyrotaxanes (PRXs). The PRX capsules were prepared by the sequential deposition of PRXs onto silica particles followed by the dissolution of the silica cores. The colloidal stability of the PRX capsules that are f…

Cryoprotection is the final step before flash-cooling, during which crystals can be improved or damaged and data quality maximized. A well thought-out cryoprotection requires optimized composition of suitable components and an appropriate soak period. Crystallization methodology has been extensively studied, but not c…

We report the preparation of different surface patterns based on the photo-cross-linking/degradation kinetics of polystyrene (PS) by using UV light. Upon exposure to UV light, PS can be initially cross-linked, whereas an excess of the exposure time or intensity provokes the degradation of the material. Typically photo…

Using AC impedance spectroscopy as a means of in situ thermometry, temperature runaway over 1,500°C within a few seconds was observed for the first time in dense 92 mol% ZrO 2 –8 mol% Y 2 O 3 (8 YSZ ) ceramics heated under a constant voltage. Such runaway is especially pronounced when starting from a low background te…

In semiconductor photovoltaics, photoconversion efficiency is governed by a simple competition: the incident photon energy is either transferred to the crystal lattice (heat) or transferred to electrons. In conventional materials, energy loss to the lattice is more efficient than energy transferred to electrons, thus…
