A suite of recent studies in American Chemical Society journals describes two‑year‑old brain organoids with measurable activity, a wearable electrospinning glove for on‑site wound patches, an edible coating from the Brazilian “wolf apple” that kept baby carrots fresh for up to 15 days at room temperature, and microplastics detected in post‑mortem human retinas.
Japanese scientists have created a new spin-flip material that could increase solar panel efficiency by up to 130 percent. The technology also holds potential for OLED displays and lighting systems. Details emerged in recent reports on advancements in photovoltaic materials.

Researchers at Nanjing University have identified a new quantum state of matter in a thin carbon material that electrons neither fully two-dimensional nor three-dimensional. The discovery, termed the transdimensional anomalous Hall effect, emerged unexpectedly during experiments in magnetic fields. Lei Wang and his team confirmed the phenomenon after a year of analysis.
