High irradiances may lead to photooxidative stress in plants, and non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) contributes to protection against excess excitation. One of the NPQ mechanisms, qE, involves thermal dissipation of the light energy captured. Importantly, plants need...

Hybrid organic–inorganic perovskite materials have risen up as leading components for light harvesting applications. However, to date many questions are still open concerning the operation of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). A systematic analysis of the interplay among...

Herein we realize an optical design that optimizes the performance of bifacial solar cells without modifyingany of the usually employed components. In order to do so, dielectric scatterers of controlled size andshape have been successfully integrated in the working...

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) play a key role in deciphering the genetic message by producing charged tRNAs and are equipped with proofreading mechanisms to ensure correct pairing of tRNAs with their cognate amino acid. Duplicated aaRSs are very frequent in...

Platinum and gold structured catalysts were compared as active phases in classical and O2-assisted WaterGas Shift (WGS) reaction. Both metals were supported on iron-doped ceria mixed oxide and then, struc-tured on metallic micromonolithic devices. As expected the WGS...

Bragg microcavities (BMs) formed by the successive stacking of nanocolumnar porous SiO2 and TiO2 layers with slanted, zigzag, chiral, and vertical configurations are prepared by physical vapor deposition at oblique angles while azimuthally varying the substrate...
