Abstract Polarized light is critical for a wide range of applications, but usually generated by filtering unpolarized light, which leads to substantial energy losses and requires additional optics. Here we demonstrate the direct emission linearly polarized from light-emitting diodes made CsPbI 3 perovskite nanoplatelet superlattices.

There is an increasing demand for transient materials with a predefined lifetime like self-erasing temporary electronic circuits or biomedical implants. Chemically fueled are example of such materials; they emerge in response to chemical fuel, and autonomously decay as deplete it. However, these suffer from slow, typically first order profile. That means that over the course material's lifetime, its properties continuously change until it fully decayed. Materials have sharp on-off...
