Enhancing thermal degradation stability of BaSi₂O₂N₂:Eu²⁺ for white light-emitting diodes by ultra-thin Al₂O₃ layer via atomic layer deposition

The cyan-emitting BaSi₂O₂N₂:Eu²⁺ phosphor is a promising narrow-band and high-efficiency luminescent material used in wide-color-gamut white light-emitting diodes (wLEDs). However, its serious degradation under thermal attacks hinders its practical applications and needs to be improved. Herein, we...

A multi-axis robot-based bioprinting system supporting natural cell function preservation and cardiac tissue fabrication

Despite the recent advances in artificial tissue and organ engineering, how to generate large size viable and functional complex organs still remains as a grand challenge for regenerative medicine. Three-dimensional bioprinting has demonstrated its advantages as one of the major methods in fabricating simple tissues, yet it still faces...
