Game prepares relaunch ad campaign
Game Group has unveiled a fresh marketing strategy based on value and 'honesty', following the merger of its Game and Gamestation high-street brands.
Game Group: ditching Gamestation brand
The retailer, which was saved from administration by investment firm OpCapita in April, is to drop the Game-station brand, and will position Game as a multichannel chain that offers customers market-leading value.
The changes will be flagged up initially through in-store activity and a direct marketing campaign. Game plans to launch above-the-line ads in November, to communicate its new tone of voice, based on 'honesty, humility and humour'.
It will remind consumers that 'the best bits' of Game-station, such as the expertise of its staff, will be retained. In addition the retailer will launch a mobile site and its first app, which will be linked to its loyalty card.
According to Anna-Marie Mason, marketing director for Game, this strategy will help it better contend with online retailers in the gaming sector, competition she admits it was previously 'intimidated' by.

Hard Candy & Lollipops

Planters Peanut Bar Original
Following up on the Munch Bar post a few weeks ago, this is the competing product: Planters Peanut Bar Original.
As pointed out in the comments on the Munch Bar review, the Planters bar isn't as toffee-like. In fact, there are no dairy products at all in this bar.
It's a heavily peanut bar, as you can see. The peanuts are jam packed together with the hard candy part just there to keep it all in one cohesive unit. The peanuts are toasty tasting and fresh with a nice salty hit from the candy.
It's pretty satisfying even though it's only 1.6 ounces. It also keeps well in harsh conditions, like warm summers or maybe in the car. It does just fine if it gets broken.
Of the two that I've had now (Planters Peanut Bar and Munch Bar), I think I prefer the Munch because of the more toffee-like candy cement. But I wouldn't turn this one down. Both are a little hard to find. Drug stores seem to have a good selection, but I didn't see this or the Munch bar at my usual 7-11s.

Short & Sweet: Japanese Goodies
I have too much candy and at one review a day I'm never going to get to it all.
And if I review more than one a day, well, I'm just not going to have enough time for anything else.
So here it is, a "Short & Sweet" review of a buncha stuff Japanese stuff:
High Concentration Milk Candy (made by UHA) -are little hard candies, kind of like a hard toffee. They taste distinctly of milk and are very sweet. They're also rather satisfying without being too sticky. I'm sure there's some high calcium content in there but the wrapper was all in Japanese.
Cubyrop (made by Bourbon) - oh they're such cute candies! Little fruit flavored hard candies in Strawberry, Pineapple, Orange, Peach, Lemon, Muscat and Grape. Some flavors were very tasty, but I didn't care much for the peach, which was a rather difficult flavor to distinguish from the orange. Lots of vitamin C.
They came in little wrappers that held two little candy cubes. They were completely random, so you'd never know when you were going to get a muscat and grape together.
Look Nut ala Mode (made by Fujiya) is a strange little tray of chocolates in a box with a wide, envelope-like flap. Great for sharing, they're pretty and of descent quality even for less than $2.00.
It took me quite a while to realize that there were four different nut flavors ... not that each chocolate contained all flavors. I have no idea, beyond the rather green pistachio one which was which. I enjoyed all of them except for the macadamia, which seemed more coconutty.

Blow Pop Minis
I'm a big lollipop fan. (No, not that I like big lollipops.) My favorite cheapo lollipop is the Orange Tootsie Pop (though I enjoyed the Limited Edition Tropical flavors last year, too). Blow Pops aren't quite as good, mostly because the gum isn't candy and they don't come in orange.
While wasting time at the Pittsburgh Airport, I found these Blow Pop Minis. They herald, "It's a Blow Pop with NO Stick!" Hallelujah! Now adults can eat their Blow Pops without being branded Rejuveniles.
While they say they're Blow Pops without sticks, they're also without mass. They're wee little candies, about the size of a smooshed garbanzo bean. And they're mostly candy. They come in four flavors: Watermelon, Blue Razz, Cherry and Sour Apple. (No, no grape, which is a classic Blow Pop flavor.)
I talk a lot about proportions when it comes to candy. Sometimes something can be coated in too much chocolate or not have enough of a particular element. Let me just say that the blow part of the Blow Pop Minis is sadly lacking.
First, the gum is hard and tacky. Some of the time it wouldn't even chew, just sit in the crevasses of my molars until I picked it out or ate something to dislodge it. Second, if I got the gum to chew, it was a wee amount. We're talking the size of a BB. It would probably take six candies to make the amount of gum in one Chicklet.
These are stupid. Why not make one large enough to hold a responsible amount of gum? These little candies are probably a third of the size of a Root Beer Barrel. And you're wondering, why not just sell them has plain old unfilled hard candies? Well, then they'd just be Charms.
The gum ends up being tough and flavorless ... rather like chewing a stamp or a piece of paper.
The candy part isn't bad but, of course, none of the flavors are favorites of mine.
This is just a bad idea.

Recipe: Candy Cane Sugar
One of the most flexible things you can make out of old candy canes (or any hard candy) is candy cane sugar which can be used just like regular sugar in a variety of ways.
I made mine from a couple of humongo peppermint sticks by Spangler (each weighs 4 ounces). Two of these sticks will make 1 Cup of candy cane sugar.
There are a couple of ways to make it, I use the old fashioned method.
Put the candies into one of the ziploc bags and then into the other. Once you start pounding away the sharp pieces will cut the bag a bit and if you don't want a powdery-sticky mess, it's best to double bag.
Whack away. Break up the big pieces first, hitting them as best you can with the flat side of your mallet or hammer.
After breaking up the candy, dump it into a bowl. Shake the bowl gently to get the larger pieces to the top, scoop them off and return them to the plastic bag for further pulverization. Repeat until you get your candy sugar to the grind that you desire.
Alternate Method:
Break up candy canes into small pieces by hand.
Put into clean Coffee Grinder (or food processor).
Pulse grind to break up big chunks. Continue until you reach the desired consistency.
For best results:
When finished put into an airtight container. If you live in a particularly humid area keep it in the fridge to prevent it from reforming into a sticky pile.
Use single-colored candy. Multicolored candy canes (such as red and green stripes) will make for a rather muddy colored sugar once it's pulverized.
Do not use plastic produce bags, they're just too thin and you'll end up with bits of plastic in your sugar.
See the grand list of 33 Things to do with Candy Canes for ideas on how to use your Candy Cane Sugar. I made the Peppermint Stick Layer Cake!
33 Uses for Leftover Candy Canes
Here you go, oodles of things to do with those leftover candy canes. (Or maybe you want to pick some up on sale.)
Use them whole:
Crush them lightly:
Make Candy Cane Sugar:
Use them in recipes:
So, what can you add to the list?
Recipe: Peppermint Stick Layer Cake
This was my traditional birthday cake throughout my teen years: The Peppermint Stick Layer Cake. My mother came up with it as a way to use up the remaining candy canes from Christmas but it's a great cake to make any time of year. The whipped cream is lighter tasting and less sweet than a buttercream or sugar frosting, but you're free to create your own adaptation with your favorite frosting recipe. When the cake is well chilled it's almost like an ice cream cake.
I like mine as a four layer cake because it means that the ratio of whipped cream to cake is about equal.
Allow your cake layers to cool completely before assembly.
Whipped Cream
Chilling is essential to great whipped cream. I make mine using a two bowl method.
Take a large pasta pot and fill the bottom with ice and then a bit of water. Fit a mixing bowl over it (I have a lipped bowl that fits inside my pasta pot well). Make sure the ice water mixture comes up to at least 1/3 of the side of the mixing bowl.
Pour in your pint of whipping cream. Add a dash of salt.
Whip using an electric mixer or whisk well.
At about the halfway mark (when the whipped cream starts to hold its shape) start adding your crushed peppermint candy.
Continue to whip and taste as needed.
I prefer my whipped cream a little less sweet but your mileage may vary depending on how chunky your candy is and how sweet you want it. Be prepared to add between 1/4 to 1/2 cup of crushed candy. If you want it really minty, add some peppermint extract. If you want it really pink, add some red food coloring.
Once your cake layers have cooled, make sure that they are flat (cut off any mounding).
Either cut carefully or use dental floss to split each of the layers into two. (I've found cutting them easier if the cake is frozen.)
Place first layer on cake plate. Mound some whipped cream on layer and spread evenly.
Place next layer on top of that, repeat with as many layers as you have.
Frost top. Depending on how generous you've been with your whipped cream, you can also ice the sides, I kind of like being able to see all the layers without it being cut.
Dust the top with some remaining chunks of candy canes or whole starlight mints. Don't add them until you're ready to serve, they get a bit runny after about an hour in the whipped cream.
Chill cake if you're not serving immediately. You can even freeze it and serve it that way.
Other variations:
● Use Cinnamon Candies instead of Peppermint

Munch Bar
Every once in a while I get a hankering for peanut brittle. But aside from buying a tin of it or making it myself, it's not that easy to find.
Enter the Munch bar. Billed on the label as "Only 6 Simple Ingredients" it's just a buttery hard candy studded with peanuts. In fact, there's more peanuts in here than most brittle I've had. The ingredients are: peanuts, sugar, butter, corn syrup, salt and soy lecithin.
The bars aren't that easy to find, which is a shame, because they're a nice alternative to a chocolate bar. Kind of like a Payday. Mars actually markets it using its wholesomeness as a selling point. I like it because it's sturdy. You can expose it to higher temperatures without it losing its shape and taste.
The candy part of the bar is sweet and crunchy, not quite toffee and more solid than the usually slightly foamy peanut brittle candy. It's buttery and has a light salty hit. The peanut flavor is, of course, the attraction. I love peanuts. There are 6 grams of protein in this bar, and at less than 1.5 ounces, that's a lot of protein which makes it quite filling and satisfying.
They're an excellent summer bar and worth the work at finding them. There's another version of this made by Planters, I'll try to have a review of that soon.

Zotz Apple
We had a Secret Santa exchange at the office, and of course my Secret Santa knew my fondness for candy (who doesn't?) and bestowed upon me a box of retro items. Inside was a string of Zotz in Apple.
I don't know much about Zotz. They're made in Italy and are composed of a fizzy sour powder center inside a hard candy shell. They currently come in three flavors: Cherry, Watermelon & Apple. They come in a string of four packages (though as a child I'm quite sure the strings were longer, like you could get a yard of lollipops). I also recall they came in Lemon, but I can't find much chatter online about them.
They're awful cute little candies. They're pretty big as well. I have two methods for eating them. The first is to suck on them really hard. There's a little hole or seam in one end and if you suck hard enough you can get the fizzy powder to come out. The other method is to skip that patience thing and just crunch into it, which is usually what I do.
There is a serious amount of fizzy powder inside, a lot more than I remember. The fizz is pleasant and froths up into a rather creamy fluff inside the mouth. They're not quite as fun as I remember, the fizz was certainly plentiful, but the flavor (perhaps because it was apple) wasn't really that compelling.
The grown up version of these are the Napoleon Lemon Sours (from Belgium), which I've been eating for years and have always cleaved open the candy hoping to find a huge reservoir of the fizziness (and have always been disappointed and then put another one in my mouth). There are also Japanese versions of Zotz that I've seen at the stores but haven't tried yet, maybe that's something to put on my New Year's list.
What flavors do you remember Zotz coming in?
Meticulously photographed and documented reviews of candy from around the world. And the occasional other sweet adventures. Open your mouth, expand your mind.

TV Ratings: 'Wild 'N Out' Revival Hits Network Highs on MTV2
Nick Cannon's comedy show and new series "Ain't That America With Lil Duval" drive the cable network's biggest ratings day since it launched in 1996.
Comedy seems to be a good fit on MTV2. The cable network saw its best ratings day ever on Tuesday thanks to the premieres of Nick Cannon Presents: Wild 'N Out and Ain't That America With Lil Duval.
Cannon's sketch comedy show, a revival of the 2005 MTV series of the same name, led the way with its fifth-season launch at 11 p.m. The series averaged 1.1 million viewers and a 1.3 rating in the network's targeted 12-34 demographic. It marks the highest-rated broadcast in the MTV sibling's nearly 20-year history.
The series preformed especially well with teenagers, scoring a 2.9 rating with young men and a 2.1 rating among young women.
Viral video series Ain't That America With Lil Duval pulled the network's second-best returns after its lead-in. The series averaged 800,000 total viewers and a 0.9 rating with 12-34-year-olds.
MTV2 has been making more of a push into originals in the last few years, including new series Guy Code, Nitro Circus Live, Hip Hop Squares and The Dub Magazine Project.

Teens at the Weyburn Junior High and St. Michael School were urged to speak up about mental health issues, and to either seek help if they experience mental illness, or to help someone out who is having a struggle with it.
This was the message passed on to them by Olympic athlete and cyclist Clara Hughes when she stopped by the school to address an assembly on Wednesday morning, before setting out on her bike on Highway 13 and heading out east to Carlyle some 113 kilometres away.
"Clara's Big Ride" first rolled in to Weyburn the day before, as the six-time medalist arrived over half an hour early due to strong tail-winds, and she was the keynote speaker for the "Night to Inspire", hosted by the Canadian Mental Health Association as a fundraiser event.
Both events began with the showing of a video by local students Chelsey Van Staveren and Delaney Gordon, in which Van Staveren shared about her personal struggles with depression.
Hughes told the students she was deeply moved by the video, which she watched on the way over to the school from her hotel.
"It was pretty emotional to watch that, and to see a kid from your home town be so open about her struggle with depression. It's been four years for me in talking about depression, and I don't express it as well as she did," said Hughes.
At one point in the video, Van Staveren said she wished that someone could describe what it felt like to feel nothing, because that's how she felt sometimes, and Hughes made note of that, saying she knew exactly what the 16-year-old student was expressing.
"If you're struggling, you have to get back up," said Hughes, noting the singer Serena Ryder performed at one of her stops earlier this year, and openly expressed her struggle with depression also, leading to the writing of a poignant song.
"Seven million Canadians suffer with a form of mental illness; a lot of people are coping and thriving with depression - you're not alone," Hughes said, adding for those who don't have a mental illness, "You can help someone get through those dark times."
The Olympian noted she grew up in Winnipeg and came from a difficult family situation where her sister and father both suffered mental illness.
"I've done a lot of bad things and made a lot of bad choices," said Hughes, noting as a teenager she got into drinking, smoking and drugs, and until she was 16, she had no idea what the Olympic Games were.
When she was 16, she saw the Winter Olympic Games as they were being held in Calgary, and remembered being amazed watching an athlete "pour himself into his event. When I saw him do that, I connected to that."
She noted she particularly found herself attracted to long track speed-skating, and said, "I knew then I was going to be an Olympian."
Her first speed-skating meet was in Regina, and said even this trip from Winnipeg made an impact on her as a teenager, because her family simply had never taken any trips outside of Winnipeg.
"It felt like I was travelling to Europe or something," said Hughes. "For me, depression came at a later age."
When it did come, as she began winning medals, "I thought I was stronger than depression, and I couldn't. I refused the help that was there for me," she said, adding when she fell into it, she took two years to get out of it.
Hughes is nearing the end of her 12,000-km 110-day bike ride to every province and territory in Canada, with the goal to raise awareness of mental health issues and get people talking about them openly, without a negative stigma attached.
She noted she was on her 90th day, and had ridden 8,050 km to that point, taking in 205 community and school events along the way.
"That's not for everybody; for most people, talking is just one person at a time. I didn't have a family member I could talk to about this," said Hughes, adding for any students who felt like that, they have school counsellors and teachers who could help.
"There are people to talk to, so you can know you're not alone," she said.
As a part of her presentation and assembly, there were two bikes up on stage, one painted blue with a sign on the front wheel for "Clara's Big Ride". Hughes autographed the front wheel of this bike, which will be kept on display at the school, while the other bike will be raffled off to raise funds for the CMHA.
Rebecca Mondor of the MALT Squad came up and said the goal of their student organization was, "We want kids to be happy with who they are. As a member, you can help put a smile on someone's face."
In addition, Hannah Bitz of St. Michael School and Bailey Cole of WJH, representing the student councils of their schools. were each given an autographed shirt and a copy of the Chelsey Van Staveren video, and each pledged to make sure the students in their respective school will get to see it and benefit by it.

I've been leveling up a priest, and it along with a mistweaver are the only two healing classes I've ever been able to play for one simple reason: They both do respectable (as in, it's quick and efficient for most circumstances to quest/farm/whatever out in the world in healing spec).
Holy priest takes the cake by far with chastize chakra being absolutely amazing. Practically mana free deeps that can pull respectable numbers without having to have a DPS off spec or carry around a second set of gear.
Here's the thing, I'm lazy, I HATE farming gear let alone TWO SETS of gear. I also hate being gimped DPS trying to be a DPS in sub optimal gear while out in the world.
So, since blizzard obviously designs solo PvE content (think timeless isle type stuff) for DPS specs and is not going to be making any healer-exclusive content anytime soon(hey blizz: It'd be awesome if I could have a little DPS guy npc that I heal while he kills mobs for me *wink wink nudge nudge*), I personally think all healing specs should have the equivalent of holy priest's chastize chakra in someway. Just some way to do decent (say, 70-80k dps) damage while sacrificing heal output to do said damage without having to change spec or gear. It would go a LOOONG way to improving healer QoL while solo out in the world.
It would also allow me to level up a resto druid (because heaven knows I"m not farming a feral set, nor will I stand to do crappy boomkin DPS in suboptimal/non-optimized gear for it).
I roll a healer because I want to play a healer spec, I want to "RP" (not "real" RP but I like to relate and get in the mindset of my characters if you know what I mean) as a healer spec. I do not want to be a "part time" healer where I'm healing spec when I'm in raid, I'm DPS the other 85% of my game playing time. This game, unless you are a holy priest or MW monk, is just flat out not friendly to healers while solo at all in any way shape or form.
What does everyone else think. Do you think all healing specs should have some variation of holy priets's chastize chakra?

I'd rather healers got no more DPS capabilities added and those that exist right now be taken away next expansion.
I wouldn't mind it *much* if they gave healers some damage capabilities akin to Chakra Chastise, as you suggest, so long as there is something that staggers the transition between Healing and DPSing considerably. Otherwise, if transitioning between both modes has negligible ramp-up(or w/e), then we'd fall in the scenario of "If you're not maximizing DPS every single second you're not healing, you're bad".
I'm a healer and I like healing. Don't make me shoot Lightning Bolts pls :l

i have to admit i do like holy and chakra. lots of people hate the chakra system but i was rather fond of it. i mostly don't play my priest anymore because i didn't want to be forced to dps to heal. so. :x
90 Night Elf Druid
The only spec really needing 2 sets of gear would be a pally. Druids can use boomkin (or even feral, it converts over to agility), mistweaver's can just dps as MW, priests can dps as any of the specs, and shamans can do elemental.
Finding gear these days is extremely easy. I hit like a noodle on my druid, so I just ask for people working on the same tasks to group up or bug friends to help ;) Plus the added damage buff from isle comes in handy :D I could wrath spam all day until the taurens come home, if it actually hit well as resto without the buff!
If all healers had a chakra of some sort they'd have balance that out for both pve and pvp. Would it be usable everywhere?

Oh, by all means I wouldn't want it something that would become mandatory to use in raid. Just make healing specs QoL when solo in the world better so we don't have to have a DPS off spec if we don't want to and don't have to farm 2nd sets of gear.
I used chakra: chastise as an example because that'd be the right way to implement it, albeit with more punishment. Make it so when you are in your "DPS stance" or however the implement it, you do x% less healing or your healing spells cost a ton more mana, or you just flat out don't have access to them.
But a holy priest in good gear in chastise chakra can pull close to 100k DPS when solo, and that's amazing for a healing spec to have. If you are a priest, you really don't need a shadow spec to survive questing/farming out in the world and it's a GREAT QoL feature I feel all healing specs should have.
If all healers had a chakra of some sort they'd have balance that out for both pve and pvp. Would it be usable everywhere?
Probably make it not usable in PvP, but I'd be okay with that because the system would really only be meant to kill quest mobs/typical at-level NPCs in the world and have it not take 20 minutes.

Nooooo no no no nonononono.
No. No. And no.
Just no.
100 Tauren Priest
Healers need to stop doing damage all together. Atonement healing was never meant to be the monstrosity that it is today and it throws balance completely out of whack and fistweaving is no better. The fact that I can pull over 100k on many add fights in siege because of this dps legendary cloak and not change my playstyle at all is simply stupid and needs to go.
94 Night Elf Druid
Technically resto druids have solo capability with cat form since they get 100% int -> agi conversion... just saying...
90 Gnome Priest
While we're giving damage capabilities for healers, give pw:barrier, tranq, healing tide totem, revival and devotion aura to all healing specs. Take away all healing capabilities from dps, give all the dps Heroic Leap, Cat form, Paly Bubble, Army....
It's called diversity. It's what makes each class different. If you don't want to have to collect dps gear then roll a priest or a monk. Simple as that. We're shooting for diversity not homogeny.
100 Gnome Monk
Pretty much. Even with pallies it only sucks at the start of an expansion. Right now at expansion's end gear is raining down on us.
Of course if they keep the vendors next expact so we can buy some greens for gold, loot spec so we can heal for dps purples in LFR / Flex once we're kind of geared, and maybe even loot spec for 5 mans (they've hinted at this) for dps blues it shouldn't be nearly as bad as the past.
Plus there's always the Find a Friend solution. It's what I did as a resto shaman in TBC. Okay, I ended up questing with a prot warrior. Nothing died really fast but we were miserable together! ;)
97 Night Elf Druid
Restokitty surprisingly doesn't suck. Well, I mean, it doesn't match a DPS spec, but if you're just killing some non elite trash for dailies or farming or whatever, it works OK, even if you're not that geared. (Hint: apply one stack of lifebloom to yourself before shifting. OoC procs while you're in cat form allow you to use an extra CP builder without spending energy, which makes a pretty big difference.)
I really hate having to burn multiple glyph slots to kill trash on a holy paladin, though. One of which *actually makes you a worse healer*. IMO, most healers are actually OK soloers, but holy paladins really do have a legitimate beef with how hard it is for them to solo (especially if they don't want to weaken their grouping potential or swap glyphs repeatedly). And the fact that they're one of only two healers that can't use their healing gear for a DPS spec (and the other is mistweaver, which really doesn't need to anyway) just adds insult to injury.
I suppose you could dual spec holy/holy to simplify the glyph issues, but that's a lot of PITA to have to put up with, even if you never mix them up.
Eliminate the DPS glyphs for holy paladins and instead give them better DPS linked to the DPS seals (either giving the procs int/SP scaling in holy rather than lolweapondamage, or passives that duplicate the current glyphs, or both). That would sort of parallel the chakra approach -- they have to actively choose between dps and healing modes, but it's not as painful to change as the current approach.
It just doesn't feel good to spend glyph slots on doing more damage as a healer.
90 Draenei Shaman
Personally would love to be able to kill something as resto, yeah I can swap specs to ele, but still damage is extremely low as rsham.
If you want a Healer that can DPS then be a Priest or a MW. . .otherwise all healing classes can just as easilly use the same gear for the DPS spec with exception of Pally's. Let's not homogenize any more than it already is.
I love being in LFR and there's inevitably that one person "Hey Lumiair why are you DPS when you que'd as a healer?" Well, random person with a chip on their shoulder, I'm a MW and if you'd taken the two seconds to look at the healing meter you'll see that I'm doing both so we can get out of here quicker. Any more complaints you'd like to add? No? Ok then.

Molecular junctions hold significant promise for efficient and high-power-output thermoelectric energy conversion. Recent experiments have probed the thermoelectric properties of molecular junctions. However, electrostatic control of thermoelectric properties via a gate electrode has not been possible due to technical challenges in creating temperature differentials in three-terminal devices. Here, we show that extremely large temperature gradients (exceeding 1 × 109 K m−1) can be established in nanoscale gaps bridged by molecules, while simultaneously controlling their electronic structure via a gate electrode. Using this platform, we study prototypical Au–biphenyl-4,4′-dithiol–Au and Au–fullerene–Au junctions to demonstrate that the Seebeck coefficient and the electrical conductance of molecular junctions can be simultaneously increased by electrostatic control. Moreover, from our studies of fullerene junctions, we show that thermoelectric properties can be significantly enhanced when the dominant transport orbital is located close to the chemical potential (Fermi level) of the electrodes. These results illustrate the intimate relationship between the thermoelectric properties and charge transmission characteristics of molecular junctions and should enable systematic exploration of the recent computational predictions that promise extremely efficient thermoelectric energy conversion in molecular junctions.]]>

The radiative interaction of solid-state emitters with cavity fields is the basis of semiconductor microcavity lasers and cavity quantum electrodynamics (CQED) systems. Its control in real time would open new avenues for the generation of non-classical light states, the control of entanglement and the modulation of lasers. However, unlike atomic CQED or circuit quantum electrodynamics, the real-time control of radiative processes has not yet been achieved in semiconductors because of the ultrafast timescales involved. Here we propose an ultrafast non-local moulding of the vacuum field in a coupled-cavity system as an approach to the control of radiative processes and demonstrate the dynamic control of the spontaneous emission (SE) of quantum dots (QDs) in a photonic crystal (PhC) cavity on a ∼200 ps timescale, much faster than their natural SE lifetimes.]]>

Solution-processed inorganic and organic materials have been pursued for more than a decade as low-threshold, high-gain lasing media, motivated in large part by their tunable optoelectronic properties and ease of synthesis and processing. Although both have demonstrated stimulated emission and lasing, they have not yet approached the continuous-wave pumping regime. Two-dimensional CdSe colloidal nanosheets combine the advantage of solution synthesis with the optoelectronic properties of epitaxial two-dimensional quantum wells. Here, we show that these colloidal quantum wells possess large exciton and biexciton binding energies of 132 meV and 30 meV, respectively, giving rise to stimulated emission from biexcitons at room temperature. Under femtosecond pulsed excitation, close-packed thin films yield an ultralow stimulated emission threshold of 6 μJ cm–2, sufficient to achieve continuous-wave pumped stimulated emission, and lasing when these layers are embedded in surface-emitting microcavities.]]>

Despite graphene's remarkable electronic properties, the lack of an electronic bandgap severely limits its potential for applications in digital electronics. In contrast to extended films, narrow strips of graphene (called graphene nanoribbons) are semiconductors through quantum confinement, with a bandgap that can be tuned as a function of the nanoribbon width and edge structure. Atomically precise graphene nanoribbons can be obtained via a bottom-up approach based on the surface-assisted assembly of molecular precursors. Here we report the fabrication of graphene nanoribbon heterojunctions and heterostructures by combining pristine hydrocarbon precursors with their nitrogen-substituted equivalents. Using scanning probe methods, we show that the resulting heterostructures consist of seamlessly assembled segments of pristine (undoped) graphene nanoribbons (p-GNRs) and deterministically nitrogen-doped graphene nanoribbons (N-GNRs), and behave similarly to traditional p–n junctions. With a band shift of 0.5 eV and an electric field of 2 × 108 V m–1 at the heterojunction, these materials bear a high potential for applications in photovoltaics and electronics.]]>

A concentration cell is composed of two equivalent half-cells made of the same material but differing in the concentration of reactants. As these concentrations equilibrate, the increase in entropy is converted into a flow of electricity with the voltage output determined by the Nernst equation and proportional to the logarithm of the concentration ratios. However, as diffusion constantly strives to erase all concentration gradients, concentration cells produce only moderate voltages (typically tens of millivolts at room temperature) over relatively short times and, consequently, such devices have not been regarded as promising for energy storage. Here, we report a concentration cell that produces significantly higher voltages (∼0.5 V) for over 100 h. The key to our design is that the citric acid molecules involved in the electrode reactions are tethered onto magnetic nanoparticles, and a sharp gradient (107–1011 anode/cathode concentration ratio) is maintained at one of the electrodes by a permanent magnet external to the cell. Our cell does not result in corrosion of the electrodes, produces no harmful by-products, and can be regenerated by recoating used nanoparticles with fresh citric acid. We show that a series of such centimetre-sized cells produces enough electricity to power small electronic devices (timers and calculators) for several tens of hours. Our results illustrate how redox-active molecules that are, in themselves, non-magnetic can be effectively concentrated by magnetic fields to produce electrical energy.]]>

When designing drug carriers, the drug-to-carrier ratio is an important consideration, because the use of high quantities of carriers can result in toxicity as a consequence of poor metabolism and elimination of the carriers. However, these issues would be of less concern if both the drug and carrier had therapeutic effects. (−)-Epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG), a major ingredient of green tea, has been shown, for example, to possess anticancer effects, anti-HIV effects, neuroprotective effects and DNA-protective effects. Here, we show that sequential self-assembly of the EGCG derivative with anticancer proteins leads to the formation of stable micellar nanocomplexes, which have greater anticancer effects in vitro and in vivo than the free protein. The micellar nanocomplex is obtained by complexation of oligomerized EGCG with the anticancer protein Herceptin to form the core, followed by complexation of poly(ethylene glycol)–EGCG to form the shell. When injected into mice, the Herceptin-loaded micellar nanocomplex demonstrates better tumour selectivity and growth reduction, as well as longer blood half-life, than free Herceptin.]]>
