Reactive neurotoxic aldheyde DOPAL, enzymatically produced from dopamine in cells and tissues, is associated with adverse physiological effects. Lysine-C-dots inhibit DOPAL-induced α-synuclein oligomerization and cytotoxicity.

Demonstration of programmable light intensity of a micro-LED with a Hf-based ferroelectric ITZO TFT for Mura-free displays
We demonstrate the programmable light intensity of a micro-LED by compensating threshold voltage variability of thin-film transistors by introducing a non-volatile programmable ferroelectric material, HfZrO2 into the gate stack of the TFT.

Plasmonic Ag/Cu/PEG nanofluids prepared when solids meet liquids in the gas phase
Yellow, green, and blue plasmonic nanofluids were produced without wet chemistry by direct deposition of Ag, Cu, and simultaneous co-deposition of Ag + Cu nanoparticles from sputter-based gas aggregation cluster sources in liquid polyethylene glycol.
