Core Viewpoint - The study published by Harvard University indicates that the consumption of caffeinated coffee and tea is associated with a reduced risk of dementia and slightly better cognitive function, while decaffeinated coffee shows no significant association with dementia risk [2][4][10]. Group 1: Study Overview - The research involved a prospective cohort study with 131,821 participants from two cohorts: the Nurses' Health Study (NHS) and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (HPFS), with a follow-up period of up to 43 years [4][5]. - Participants were free of cancer, Parkinson's disease, or dementia at baseline, and dietary intake was assessed every 2-4 years using validated food frequency questionnaires [4][5]. Group 2: Key Findings - During the follow-up, 11,033 new cases of dementia were recorded among participants [5]. - The analysis showed that the highest quartile of caffeinated coffee consumption had a significantly lower dementia risk compared to the lowest quartile (141 cases vs 330 cases per 100,000 person-years; risk ratio 0.82) [6]. - Subjective cognitive decline was lower in the highest caffeinated coffee consumption group (7.8% vs 9.5%; prevalence ratio 0.85) [6]. Group 3: Consumption Patterns - No significant association was found between decaffeinated coffee and dementia risk or cognitive function [7]. - A non-linear inverse relationship was observed between the intake of caffeinated coffee and tea and cognitive outcomes, with the most significant protective effects noted at moderate consumption levels (2-3 cups of caffeinated coffee and 1-2 cups of tea daily) [7][10]. Group 4: Implications - The results suggest that higher consumption of caffeinated coffee and tea is linked to a lower risk of dementia and better cognitive function, highlighting caffeine as a potential key active ingredient, while polyphenols in tea may also play a synergistic role [10].

Core Viewpoint - Metal halide perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) are considered a promising next-generation display technology due to their excellent external quantum efficiency (EQE), tunable emission colors, and low-cost processing [2]. Group 1 - Despite their potential, PeLEDs currently lag behind organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), which have achieved an EQE of 40%, due to limitations in carrier confinement and non-radiative recombination caused by surface defects [3]. - A recent study published in the journal Nature by researchers from Jilin University and other institutions has made significant advancements in the efficiency of PeLEDs, achieving an EQE of 42.9% (verified at 42.3% by a third party) [3][4]. Group 2 - The research team developed a new strategy for constructing 3D/2D ordered heterojunction perovskite films using a one-step spin-coating method, which effectively confines carriers and shifts the radiative recombination region away from defect-rich surface areas [4]. - The wrinkled morphology of the surface 2D perovskite enhances light extraction efficiency to 45.4%, contributing to the record-breaking EQE of 42.9% [4]. - This breakthrough not only sets a new efficiency record but also simplifies the manufacturing process, requiring only a single spin-coating step to achieve high-performance heterojunctions without complex post-processing [4].
