Abstract Three‑dimensional nanostructures are widely adopted to boost photon absorption in photovoltaic devices, yet their fabrication often incurs high cost and complexity. Here we present a simple, template‑based method to create a novel nanocone cluster microstructure on a polydimethylsiloxane (P

AbstractIntegrin β1 orchestrates key processes such as differentiation, migration, and tissue repair. Using atomic force microscopy (AFM), we quantified the interaction between integrin β1 ligands and CD29 receptors on human adipose‑derived stem cells (hADSCs) throughout early chondrogenic different

Abstract We investigated how the quantum‑well (QW) thickness influences electroluminescence (EL) performance of AlGaN deep‑UV LEDs over a broad temperature range. The LED with a 3.5 nm QW exhibited a 6.8‑fold increase in external quantum efficiency (EQE) relative to the 2 nm device at room temperatu

Abstract90 %) peaks is ~5 nm. When the surrounding RI is increased from 1.33 to 1.36, the peak shifts quickly, delivering a refractive‑index sensitivity of 660 nm/RIU and a figure of merit (FOM) of 132. These arrays can be fabricated via microsphere masks and are well suited for monitoring liquid RI

Abstract 420 nm), the ZnTCP/TiOF₂ mass ratio of 2 % (T‑2p) achieves a 99 % Rhodamine B (RhB) degradation in 2 h, a 3.6‑fold rate increase relative to bare TiO₂‑HNBs. The enhanced performance originates from a cooperative generation of •OH, •O₂⁻, and ¹O₂, the latter arising uniquely from the biomimet

AbstractMicrostructural stability is an important issue for nanocrystalline materials to be practically used in many fields. The present work shows how microstructure evolves with rolling strain in pre-annealed electrodeposited nanocrystalline nickel containing an initial strong fiber texture, on th

AbstractBenefiting from the large third-order nonlinear susceptibility of graphene and significantly enhanced field intensity of graphene plasmons (GPs), graphene has shown great potentials to enhance plasmonic third-harmonic generation conversion efficiency. However, it still lacks an effective con

AbstractNanoparticle (NP) science is transforming research across disciplines and enabling new technological platforms, particularly in nanomedicine where NPs serve as diagnostic and therapeutic tools. While the benefits are substantial, concerns about short‑ and long‑term human effects persist. Thi

AbstractGraphene synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) often suffers from high defect density due to grain boundaries, limiting its exceptional electronic properties and hindering integration into advanced devices. This study demonstrates a clear link between copper (Cu) substrate morpholog

AbstractWe demonstrate a continuous‑wave external‑cavity quantum cascade laser (EC‑QCL) that operates at a remarkably low threshold current of 250 mA and sweeps its wavelength at 100 Hz across a full 290 nm range (2105–2240 cm−1). The device delivers up to 20.8 mW of output power at 400 mA, and when

AbstractNickel hydroxide (Ni(OH)₂) has emerged as a promising non‑noble metal catalyst for glucose sensing, yet its practical utility is limited by sluggish electron transport and restricted mass diffusion. Here, we introduce a rationally designed hollow‑porous Ni(OH)₂ architecture (Ni(OH)₂‑HPA) pr

AbstractThe stability of the Ti₃C₂Tₓ MXene lattice and its phonon dynamics under high pressure are key to fully understanding its mechanical and thermal behavior. In this study, we employed in‑situ hydrostatic‑pressure X‑ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy to probe lattice deformation and p

AbstractTransition‑metal‑oxide anodes remain limited by severe volume swelling and poor cycling stability. Here, we report a straightforward one‑step hydrothermal synthesis of core‑shell pomegranate‑shaped Fe₂O₃/C nanocomposites, a first for this architecture. As an anode, the material delivers an o

AbstractEnhancing chemotherapeutic delivery with nanoparticles can lower systemic doses and reduce toxicity. In this study we engineered cholesterol‑substituted pullulan polymers (CHPs) to load mitoxantrone and systematically varied the hydrophobic substitution to generate nanoparticles (NPs) of dis

Nanoindentation (2000 μN load, 30 s hold) and nanoscratch (1000 μN load) tests were performed on the outer, middle, and

Abstract Three aqueous plant extracts—Artemisia capillaris, Portulaca oleracea, and Prunella vulgaris—were employed to biofabricate gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Their antioxidant profiles, including free‑radical scavenging capacity, total phenolic content, and reducing power, were quantified and corr

AbstractThis study demonstrates that the electromagnetic characteristics of a graphene oligomer can be dramatically reshaped by locally tuning the chemical potentials of its constituent nanodisks. Variations in the chemical potential at different positions produce distinct impacts on extinction spec
