AbstractDuring the growth of graphene on copper foils, the underlying grain‑boundary cracks are faithfully replicated, giving rise to pronounced wrinkles in the transferred films. We present a secondary‑transfer technique that converts these sharp “peaks” into smooth “valleys,” achieving an almost

AbstractZirconia (ZrO2) nanoparticles are increasingly employed in biosensors, cancer therapy, implants, and dentistry because of their high mechanical strength and low reported toxicity. However, as usage expands, so does potential human exposure, making a clear toxicological profile essential. Tit

AbstractWe demonstrate that evaporation dynamics are the decisive factor in forming zigzag hollow cracks in silver nanoparticle films. By tailoring the drying micro‑environment—specifically the spatial distribution of vapor flux and solvent evaporation rate—we can manipulate surface flows and suppre

AbstractWe investigate AlGaN‑based deep ultraviolet light‑emitting diodes (DUV LEDs) incorporating a p‑AlGaN/n‑AlGaN/p‑AlGaN (PNP‑AlGaN) current‑spreading layer. The PNP‑AlGaN structure introduces a valence‑band barrier that reshapes lateral current flow, thereby improving forward voltage, external

AbstractRed phosphorus (RP) offers a theoretical specific capacity of 2596 mAh g⁻¹ and is earth‑abundant, making it a compelling anode material for lithium‑ion batteries (LIBs). Yet, scalable, low‑cost production of RP nanomaterials via solution chemistry remains challenging. Here, we present a simp

Abstract Photosensitizers (PSs) are notoriously hydrophobic, limiting their clinical utility in photodynamic therapy (PDT). To overcome this, we engineered a novel theranostic nanoagent, CQDs@PtPor, by electrostatic binding of a tetraplatinated porphyrin complex (PtPor) to negatively charged carbon

AbstractWe investigate spin‑dependent electronic and thermoelectric transport in a triple‑quantum‑dot (TQD) system coupled to two metallic leads, where a static magnetic field renders the interdot tunnelling spin‑dependent. When the dots are serially linked, the structure delivers a fully spin‑polar

Abstract We report the fabrication of mixed‑matrix membranes (MMMs) comprising covalently functionalized graphene oxide (FGO) and pristine graphene oxide (GO) dispersed in a polymer of intrinsic microporosity (PIM‑1). The membranes were prepared by a dip‑coating protocol, and single‑gas permeation p

AbstractCarbohydrate–protein interactions underpin essential biological processes such as fertilization, signal transduction, and host–pathogen communication. The intricate nature of glycan recognition demands advanced analytical tools. Here we report the first synthesis of neoglycoprotein‑functiona

AbstractWe demonstrate a novel infrared stealth structure consisting of SiO2/TiO2 film, which was manufactured as the highly stretchable triangular wrinkle structures. The triangular wrinkle structures have firstly been transferred to the flexible substrate from the surface of Si-substrate, which wa

AbstractCu(In,Ga)S₂ (CIGS) is a leading contender for next‑generation thin‑film photovoltaics, owing to its favorable band alignment, high absorption coefficient, and compositional flexibility. Despite extensive research on its stable chalcopyrite form, practical methods for controlling the formatio

AbstractWe report pristine, additive‑free amorphous vanadium oxide (a‑VOx) thin films, deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD), that serve as high‑capacity cathodes for both lithium‑ion (LIB) and sodium‑ion (SIB) batteries. The 650‑nm‑thick films, grown on stainless steel substrates under control

Abstract90 % conversion of benzyl alcohol within 1 h and 100 % LDPE conversion at 375 °C. These results demonstrate that the ST‑induced mesoporosity unlocks the full catalytic potential of ZSM‑5 for bulky‑reactant reactions.BackgroundZeolites combine high surface acidity, large surface area, hydroth

Abstract We have developed a disposable, biodegradable triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) fabricated from starch paper, enabling direct sensing of human perspiration. By leveraging inexpensive, commercially available components, the starch‑paper TENG (S‑TENG) is produced in a few minutes using a str

AbstractTip‑enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) delivers nanoscale optical resolution and single‑molecule sensitivity, but its performance hinges on the quality of the metallized probe. We present a simple, reproducible wet‑chemical protocol that coats commercial silicon AFM probes with gold, yieldin

AbstractThe paper reports a novel flexible full-cell lithium ion battery (LIB) through a simple plastic package method. Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) are synthesized by electrospinning technology and the subsequent carbonation process. The CNFs with three-dimensional interconnected fibrous nanostructure

AbstractA series of all‑solid‑state Z‑scheme photocatalysts comprising BiOBr0.3I0.7, Ag and AgI were synthesized through an in‑situ precipitation and photo‑reduction route. Under visible‑light irradiation, the BiOBr0.3I0.7/Ag/AgI composites displayed markedly higher photocatalytic performance than e

AbstractWe investigated how post‑thermal annealing improves the optical performance of InP/ZnS core/shell quantum dot (QD) films. Emission intensity increased after annealing at 180 °C for 5 min. Temperature‑dependent photoluminescence (TDPL) and power‑dependent PL measurements revealed that the low

Abstract Mechanical and electrical cues at the cell–extracellular matrix interface are increasingly recognized as drivers of oncogenic signaling. In this study, we demonstrate that nanometer‑scale lanthanum fluoride (LaF3) and praseodymium fluoride (PrF3) particles, dispersed in DMEM+FBS, stimulate

Abstract We report a systematic study of photocurrent generation in Sb2Se2Te nanosheets spanning two orders of conductance. The photocurrent scales linearly with both light power and dark current, and the responsivity increases proportionally with sheet conductance. In vacuum the responsivity is ind
