Printed Polymer Allows Researchers to Explore Chirality and Spin Interactions at Room Temperature

Nanowerk
“We know that CISS-driven charge-to-spin conversion works efficiently in chiral semiconductors, but we want to know why,” says Dali Sun, associate professor of physics, member of the Organic and Carbon Electronics Lab (ORaCEL) at North Carolina State University and co-corresponding author of the work. “And an easy way to understand the puzzling mechanics of such a process is to reverse it, that is, to look at spin-to-charge conversion via the inverse CISS effect.”

The April Solar Eclipse Brings Confusion for Animals

One Green Planet
Adam Hartstone-Rose, a professor of comparative anatomy at North Carolina State University, was initially skeptical about the eclipse’s impact on animals. However, his observations during the 2017 event prompted him to delve deeper into this captivating phenomenon. Setting up studies across multiple zoos for the upcoming eclipse, Hartstone-Rose aims to unravel the mysteries behind animal behavior during such celestial events.

Are You Putting PFAS on Your Armpits?

The PFAS Project
Scott Belcher, associate professor with the Center for Environmental & Health Effects of PFAS at North Carolina State University, told Mamavation that testing for organic fluorine is a good ‘spot-check’ of products for evidence of PFAS because testing for individual PFAS compounds would miss some of other common forms of the chemicals.
