This thesis presents the detailed experimental and theoretical characterization of light-emitting devices (LEDs) based on organic semiconductors and colloidal quantum dots (QDs). This hybrid material system has several ...

Many human activities require precise judgments about the dynamics and physical properties - for example, mass - of multiple objects. Classic work suggests that people's intuitive models of physics in mass-sensitive ...

Studies have shown that language is an essential tool for forming complicated concepts. The syntactical similarities between music and language have led some researchers to focus on perception of music in order to further ...

Chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) has become the enabling planarization technique of choice for current and emerging silicon integrated circuit (IC) fabrication processes. This work studies CMP in dielectric materials ...

Adult tissue differentiation involves the generation of distinct cell types from adult stem cells (ASCs). Current understanding of tissue differentiation mechanisms is based on studies of protein and RNAs that asymmetrically ...
