Halide exchange is a popular strategy to tune the properties of CsPbX3 nanocrystals after synthesis. However, while Cl ? Br and Br ? I exchanges proceed through the formation of stable mixed-halide nanocrystals, the Cl? I exchange is more elusive. Indeed, the large size difference between chloride and iodide ions causes a miscibility gap in the...

We report a colloidal synthesis of blue emissive, stable cube-shaped CsPbBr3 quantum dots (QDs) in the strong quantum confinement regime via dissolution-recrystallization starting from pre-syntesized (KxCs1-x)4PbBr6 nanocrystals which are then reacted with PbBr2. This is markedly different from the known case of Cs4PbBr6 nanocrystals that react...

Familial Adult Myoclonic Epilepsy (FAME) is characterised by cortical myoclonic tremor usually from the second decade of life and overt myoclonic or generalised tonic-clonic seizures. Four independent loci have been implicated in FAME on chromosomes (chr) 2, 3, 5 and 8. Using whole genome sequencing and repeat primed PCR, we provide evidence...
