Another great paper from @zan_paterson - showing that a combination of deoxygenation and her favourite dopant C60F48, dramatically improves the stability in p-type mixed conductors. A must read!!

Congratulations to Leah Noble, who successfully defended her dissertation and earned a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering! Her presentation: “Novel precursors for carbon fiber prepared by direct carbonization.” Says Leah, "I’m extremely grateful I had the opportunity to do my dissertation research at CAER. The support of the Center and the wonderful people who work there was invaluable. I’m looking forward to continuing to be a part of the pioneering research conducted at CAER!”

Our paper on asymmetric OECT switching kinetics from doping propagation and density-dependent mobility is out @NatureMaterials! Led by @chenmerson & Jiajie Guo, with @cgbischak, Chang-Zhi Li (Zhejiang) and @luscombe_OIST, complete with cool movies! nature.com/articles/s4156…

In this beautiful study, talented postdoc Tiefeng explores the use of ground-state electron transfer in all-polymer blends to produce water-processable conductive inks—many thanks to all the collaborators.@KAWstiftelsen @LOE_at_LiU @AFM_LiU

@usualtropes @JPhysMaterials @IOPPublishing Last night was fun and it was great to meet you guys; thank you for hosting. @achilleas_savva @GDSpyropoulos - this is how you take a selfie! 😅😆

It was a great experience to co-organizing #SB07 at #F23MRS with these great people and good friends! @lmm_asplund @GDSpyropoulos @zan_paterson. A huge thanks to all the participants for their contributions!

We are pretty excited about this one!

@Matter_CP October FTW!

We've had some eclectic covers in 2023! Nine covers were contributed by authors... we're down to the top 3... what is your favorite? Vote your opinion... see comment below poll for cover images! FINAL Round...

Consistent reporting of the product of charge carrier mobility and volumetric capacitance is key for developing these systems. This Comment argues that unexpected changes in transistor channel resistance can overestimate this figure of merit. @zan_paterson go.nature.com/3Szt7Mv

Extracting the μC* product from OECTs? @NatureMaterials @_iainmcculloch @UKCAER @universityofky rdcu.be/dpsIn

Historically, much of the gender gap in earnings could be explained by differences in education and occupational choices. However, this year’s economic sciences laureate Claudia Goldin has shown that the bulk of this earnings difference is now between men and women in the same occupation, and that it largely arises with the birth of the first child. #NobelPrize

We have a new video release! In this video, PhD student researcher Paula Alarcón Espejo walks us through the utilization of PEDOT:PSS fibers in Organic Electrochemical Transistors (OECTs). Watch in Full over on YouTube! youtu.be/xIjSIgrXb88 These transistors are biocompatible and can their optimization can help create flexible, conductive materials for use in textiles, prosthetics, and other applications. Organic semiconductors and electrochemical transistors promise to enable new generations of low-cost, mechanically flexible, and wearable electronic devices. @NSF, @KY_NSF_EPSCoR
