As highly efficient organic sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells, a series of novel oligoene
dyes which have different lengths of methine units, cyano groups and/or carboxylic groups …

Organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) have attracted great interest for their potential use in
several electronic applications, including active-matrix displays, electronic paper, and chemical …

The excellent mechanical flexibility of organic electronic devices is expected to open up a
range of new application opportunities in electronics, such as flexible displays, robotic sensors…

When organic thin-film transistors (TFTs) are exposed to air, the electrical performance of the
devices often degrades over time. The degradation is often the result of the oxidation of the …

Organic thin-film transistors (TFTs) are of interest for large-area electronics applications,
such as conformable sensor arrays and flexible active-matrix displays, in which the TFTs will …

Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH)/PAS proteins, such as Sim, act as transcriptional factors,
playing a critical role in the control of central nervous system (CNS) development. To isolate …

Modern banknotes include up to 50 different anti-counterfeiting features, such as watermarks,
holograms, raised printing, embedded foil strips, fluorescent inks, and many others. To …

A convenient one-pot procedure for the synthesis of benzo[b]thiophenes and selenophenes
from readily available o-halo-ethynylbenzene precursors is described. Regardless of the …

Organic thin-film transistors based on the vacuum-deposited small-molecule conjugated
semiconductor dinaphtho[2,3-b:2′,3′-f]thieno[3,2-b]thiophene (DNTT) have been fabricated …
