Light exerts a range of powerful biological effects beyond image vision, including mood and
learning regulation. While the source of photic information affecting mood and cognitive …

As a result from the development of silicon thin-film solar cells that had been conducted at
Applied Materials over the last few years, we present a new kind of microcrystalline silicon …

Energetic radiation can cause dramatic changes in the physical and chemical properties of
actinide materials, degrading their performance in fission-based energy systems. As …

A balance between synaptic excitation and inhibition (E/I balance) maintained within a narrow
window is widely regarded to be crucial for cortical processing. In line with this idea, the E/…

An amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide (a‐IGZO) layer is deposited on very thin conductive
amorphous indium zinc oxide (a‐IZO) thin film to demonstrate high‐performance, coplanar …

The morphology of swift heavy ion tracks in the Gd 2 Zr 2− x Ti x O 7 pyrochlore system has
been investigated as a function of the variation in chemical composition and electronic …

Reinforcement allows organisms to learn which stimuli predict subsequent biological
relevance. Hebbian mechanisms of synaptic plasticity are insufficient to account for reinforced …

Recent efforts to characterize the nanoscale structural and chemical modifications induced
by energetic ion irradiation in nuclear materials have greatly benefited from the application of …

To date, most in vitro toxicity testing has focused on acute effects of compounds at high
concentrations. This testing strategy does not reflect real-life exposures, which might contribute to …

We show direct experimental evidence that radiation effects produced by single MeV heavy
ions on a polymer surface are weakened when the length of the ion track in the material is …
