Lead-free perovskites based on nontoxic titanium(IV) are promising candidates for photovoltaic applications due to their improved intrinsic/environmental stability compared to the lead analogues in metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However,... Read More about Strategic Design, Synthesis, and Computational Characterization of Hole Transport Materials for Lead-Free Perovskite Solar Cells.

RNAi of the elastomeric protein resilin reduces jump velocity and resilience to damage in locusts (2024)
Journal Article
Rogers, S. M., Cullen, D. A., Labonte, D., Sutton, G. P., Vanden Broeck, J. J., & Burrows, M. (2025). RNAi of the elastomeric protein resilin reduces jump velocity and resilience to damage in locusts. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 122(1), Article e2415625121. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2415625121

Resilin, an elastomeric protein with remarkable physical properties that outperforms synthetic rubbers, is a near-ubiquitous feature of the power amplification mechanisms used by jumping insects. Catapult-like mechanisms, which incorporate elastic en... Read More about RNAi of the elastomeric protein resilin reduces jump velocity and resilience to damage in locusts.

Cognitive reserve and its impact on cognitive and functional abilities, physical activity and quality of life following a diagnosis of dementia: longitudinal findings from the Improving the experience of Dementia and Enhancing Active Life (IDEAL) study (2025)
Journal Article
Gamble, L. D., Clare, L., Opdebeeck, C., Martyr, A., Jones, R. W., Rusted, J. M., Pentecost, C., Thom, J. M., & Matthews, F. E. (2025). Cognitive reserve and its impact on cognitive and functional abilities, physical activity and quality of life following a diagnosis of dementia: longitudinal findings from the Improving the experience of Dementia and Enhancing Active Life (IDEAL) study. Age and ageing, 54(1), Article afae284. https://doi.org/10.1093/ageing/afae284

Background
The concept of cognitive reserve may explain inter-individual differences in susceptibility to neuropathological changes. Studies suggest that experiences over a lifetime impact on cognitive reserve, and it is hypothesised that following...

Mediating learning with mobile devices through pedagogical innovation: Teachers' perceptions of K-12 students’ learning experiences (2024)
Journal Article
Burke, P. F., Schuck, S., Burden, K., & Kearney, M. (2025). Mediating learning with mobile devices through pedagogical innovation: Teachers' perceptions of K-12 students’ learning experiences. Computers & education, 227, Article 105226. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compedu.2024.105226

This article presents a quantitative study demonstrating that digital pedagogy using mobile devices (e.g., laptops, mobile phones, tablets) impacts teachers' perceptions of pedagogical innovation. We further find that innovative mobile pedagogy adopt...
