At the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), scientists have come up with an upcycling method that adds value to rejected plastics for reuse in additive manufacturing, or so-called 3D printing.
Natural killers cells are the focus of a growing number of companies pursuing next-generation cell therapies for cancer. Indapta Therapeutics focuses on a subset of this class of cancer-killing cells, and it aims to use them in combination with antibody drugs to boost efficacy.
Researchers from University of Hawaii and Cornell University published a new paper in the
Journal of Marketing that explores the challenges and opportunities with nonprofit fundraising to provide organizations with strategies they can use to increase sustainable giving and profitability.
The study, forthcoming in the
Journal of Marketing, is titled Managing Members, Donors, and Member-Donors for Effective Non-profit Fundraising and is authored by Sungjin Kim, Sachin Gupta, and Clarence Lee.
Individual philanthropy is the primary funding source for many nonprofit organizations. A major challenge facing such organizations is the volatility of individual giving: Nearly half of newly acquired donors only give once. Because of this instability, nonprofits strive to increase repeat giving by individuals as well as to identify and retain donors who are more committed.
New strategies for designing electroluminescent materials A collaborative team of materials scientists and theoretical chemists provide hybrid perovskite nanoparticles that are high-efficiency light emitters by using a comprehensive defect-suppression strategy. A collaborative study by a team of materials scientists and theoretical chemists demonstrates how a class of electroluminescent materials, key components of devices such as LED lights and solar cells, can be designed to work more efficiently.
New research details how a class of electroluminescent materials, key components of devices such as LED lights and solar cells, can be designed to work more efficiently. Published in
Nature Photonics, the combined efforts of experimental and theoretical researchers provides insights into how these and other similar materials could be used for novel applications in the future.
