Directed assembly of cathode interlayers enables efficient binary organic solar cells

Nature Energy, Published online: 20 October 2026; doi:10.1038/s41560-026-02148-w

Cathode interlayers play a pivotal role in improving the performance of organic solar cells. Yao, Zhang, Zhang, Wang et al. show a stepwise solvent treatment to achieve a vertically aligned cathode interlayer, enabling a certified efficiency of 20.65% in binary organic solar cells.

Epiblast diversification and blood formation in a human pregastrula

Nature, Published online: 24 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10698-y

High-resolution spatial transcriptome analysis of a human embryo at Carnegie stage 6 reveals three distinct developmental trajectories from the epiblast towards amnion, primitive streak and axial mesoderm, and detects the initiation of haematopoiesis before gastrulation, originating from hypoblast rather than epiblast.
