AbstractIn this work we investigate the dynamic, hierarchical self‑assembly of hexabenzocoronene (HBC) nano‑graphene and its impact on lithium‑ion storage. The molecules re‑organise under their own internal pressure, creating water‑rippling d‑spacing patterns. Comprehensive material‑characterisation

Abstract In this study, we report the synthesis of MoS₂ and polyaniline (PANI) electrodes decorated with multi‑walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) via a facile hydrothermal route and in‑situ polymerization, respectively. The resulting MoS₂|MWCNTs electrode with a 1:1 molar ratio delivers a specific cap

AbstractCombining photothermal and radiotherapeutic functions into a single, tumor‑specific nanoplatform is an emerging strategy for cancer treatment. We engineered a dual‑modality agent by assembling ultrafine molybdenum selenide (MoSe2) nanodots (NDs) onto bovine serum albumin (BSA) nanospheres (N

Abstract2× capacity gain during the first 500 cycles. By varying ALD cycles, the ZnO content can be precisely tuned, enabling optimization of rate performance and cycling stability. Electrochemical analysis indicates that the pronounced capacity growth originates from an alloying process coupled wit

AbstractColored solar cells (SCs) are rapidly emerging as key components for building‑integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs), yet most designs emphasize aesthetics at the expense of electrical performance. In this work we present a planar amorphous silicon (a‑Si:H) SC that delivers both a high‑purity red

AbstractWe present the first demonstration of a microfluidic platform fabricated directly onto a commercially available screen‑printed electrode (SPE) using a simple, rapid, and inexpensive process. The device—termed CASPE‑MFD (Commercially Available SPE‑Based Microfluidic Device)—combines polydimet

AbstractPolyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) films are increasingly employed in flexible electronics for their piezo‑, pyroelectric, and ferroelectric capabilities. Conventional fabrication of poled films, however, typically requires multi‑step stretching and high‑temperature poling, limiting scalability

AbstractWe theoretically investigate the nonlinear optical phenomena including optical bistability and four-wave mixing (FWM) process in a composite photonic-molecule cavity optomechanical system. The photonic-molecule cavity consisted of two whispering gallery mode (WGM) microcavities, where one WG

AbstractWe present a theoretical study of strong coupling between a quasi‑single molecule and a plasmonic nanohole cavity operating in a blue‑detuned optical trap. Using the finite‑difference time‑domain (FDTD) method, we model the gold nanohole array as a periodic plasmonic cavity and treat the mol

AbstractFor next‑generation copper interconnects, cobalt films are increasingly explored as a liner and seed‑layer alternative because they wet copper better than tantalum. In this study, cobalt is deposited by plasma‑enhanced atomic layer deposition (PE‑ALD) using bis‑ethylcyclopentadienyl cobalt

Abstract Poly‑N-isopropyl acrylamide (PNIPAM) nanogels were co‑polymerized with acrylic acid (AAc) to tune the lower critical solution temperature (LCST). The resulting PNIPAM‑co‑AAc nanogels exhibit two distinct volume phase transitions, with the LCST rising as the AAc content increases. When loade

AbstractDeveloping stable, high‑performance nanocomposites is essential for advanced catalytic applications. Here we report a simple, scalable route to fabricate carbon nanotube (CNT)–Cu₂O nanocomposites without surfactants or stabilizers. By tuning the reaction temperature and duration, we achieved

Abstract Despite extensive use of metal nanoparticles in medicine, their in‑vivo clearance remains poorly understood. In this study, we demonstrate that intestinal goblet cells (GCs) and gastric parietal cells (PCs) actively transport a range of metal nanoparticles—triangular silver nanoplates, magn

AbstractIn this study, we engineered a low‑leakage ZrO₂ dielectric using a direct inkjet‑printing process for sputtered indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) thin‑film transistors (TFTs). Both spin‑coated and inkjet‑printed ZrO₂ films were fabricated to evaluate their formation dynamics and electrical ch

AbstractUnlike the polydisperse nanorods produced by conventional seed‑mediated growth without cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) in the seed solution, we have achieved silver nanoparticles of distinct shapes—nanospheres, nanorods, and triangular nanoplates—by simply adding CTAB during seed prepa

AbstractA tractor beam, which has the ability to attract objects, is a class of special optical beams. Currently, people are using the holographic technology to shape complex optical tractor beams for both fundamental research and practical applications. However, most of the work reported is focusin

Abstract This study examines how post‑annealing temperature influences the crystallization of hafnium oxide (HfO₂) thin films deposited on p‑type Si by remote plasma atomic layer deposition (RP‑ALD) at 250 °C, followed by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) in nitrogen. Field‑emission TEM, XPS, grazing‑in

Abstract Hybrid MoS₂/reduced graphene aerogels with a rich microporous network were fabricated by hydrothermal synthesis followed by freeze‑drying and high‑temperature annealing. The resulting porous structure functions directly as a binder‑free electrode, enhancing electron transport and creating a

AbstractIn this work, Ru-based RRAM devices with atomic layer deposited AlOy/HfOx functional layer were fabricated and studied. A negative differential resistance (NDR) behavior was observed during the voltage set process, and its physical origin was explored. Based on the physics understanding of t

AbstractTwo InGaN/GaN multi‑quantum‑well (MQW) samples were grown by metal‑organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) with identical conditions except for the thickness of a GaN cap layer deposited on each InGaN well. Sample A received a 30‑s cap while sample B received a 200‑s cap. Photoluminescence
