Next-generation display and lighting based on quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) require a balanced electron injection of electron transport layers (ETLs). However, classical ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) as ETLs face inherent defects such as excessive electron injection and positive aging effects, urgently requiring the development of new types of ETL materials. Here, we show that high stability SnO2 NPs as ETL can significantly improve the QLED performance to 100567 cd·m-2 luminance, 14...

BACKGROUND: Dysmyelination could be part of the pathophysiology of schizophrenia spectrum (SCZ) and bipolar disorders (BPD), yet few studies have examined myelination of the cerebral cortex. The ratio of T1- and T2-weighted magnetic resonance images (MRI) correlates with intracortical myelin. We investigated the T1w/T2w-ratio and its age trajectories in patients and healthy controls (CTR) and explored associations with antipsychotic medication use and psychotic symptoms. METHODS: Patients with SCZ ( n = 64; mean age = 30...

Ageism (prejudice, discrimination, and stereotyping directed toward individuals based on age) is pervasive in the U.S. and around the world. Ageism is a significant social issue which negatively impacts general health and well-being. As such, ageism interventions that are scale-able and accessible to many people is paramount. Building on the PEACE (Positive Education about Aging and Contact Experiences) model, undergraduates ( n = 497) were randomly assigned to one of three experimental conditions that provided education about aging (which included challenging age stereotypes) and extended positive intergenerational contact via 1) written information, 2) infographics, 3) videos, or 4) a control condition (no stimuli)...

The aging phenomenon is commonly observed in quantum-dot light emitting diodes (QLEDs), involving complex chemical or physical processes. Resolving the underlying mechanism of these aging issues is crucial to deliver reliable electroluminescent devices in future display applications. Here, we report a reversible positive aging phenomenon that the device brightness and efficiency significantly improve after device operation, but recover to initial states after long-time storage or mild heat treatment, which can be termed as warming-up effects...

Mounting evidence suggests considerable diversity in brain aging trajectories, primarily arising from the complex interplay between age, genetic, and environmental risk factors, leading to distinct patterns of micro- and macro-cerebral aging. The underlying mechanisms of such effects still remain unclear. We conducted a comprehensive association analysis between cerebral structural measures and prevalent risk factors, using data from 36,969 UK Biobank subjects aged 44-81. Participants were assessed for brain volume, white matter diffusivity, Apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotypes, polygenic risk scores, lifestyles, and socioeconomic status...

This study aimed to examine the relationship between positive perceptions of aging, purpose in life, and life satisfaction in older adults. It was hypothesized that purpose in life mediates the relationship between positive perceptions of one's aging and life satisfaction. This hypothesis was tested in a sample of older American adults from four waves of the Health and Retirement Study collected at 4-year intervals between 2008 and 2020 ( N = 11,546, mean age in 2008 = 62.772). The random intercept cross-lagged panel model was used to separate within-person and between-person sources of variance...
