Probing and manipulating embryogenesis via nanoscale thermometry and temperature control

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Needleman | First 5 Authors: Joonhee Choi, Hengyun Zhou, Renate Landig, Hai-Yin Wu, Xiaofei Yu | Summary: Understanding the coordination of cell division timing is one of the outstanding questions in the field of developmental biology. One active control parameter of the cell cycle duration is temperature, as it can accelerate or […]

Photoinduced phase separation in the lead halides is a polaronic effect

Kavli Affiliate: Naomi S. Ginsberg | First 5 Authors: David T. Limmer, Naomi S. Ginsberg, , , | Summary: We present a perspective on recent observations of the photoinduced phase separation of halides in multi-component lead-halide perovskites. The spontaneous phase separation of an initial homogeneous solid solution under steady-state illumination conditions is found experimentally to […]
