AbstractFlexible pressure sensors (FPS) are pivotal in robotics, wearables, electronic skins, and biomedical diagnostics. Traditional high‑performance FPS often rely on complex micromachining or micromolding steps. Here, we introduce a simple, scalable capacitive FPS that employs silver‑nanowire (Ag

AbstractThe refractive index of aluminum nitride (AlN) critically influences the performance of AlGaN‑based deep‑ultraviolet (DUV) optoelectronic devices, including the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of LEDs. High‑density threading dislocations (TDDs) are a common defect in AlN, yet their quantit

Introduction55 °C) are required for tumour necrosis while sparing normal tissue. Polydopamine (PDA) is a mussel‑inspired polymer that absorb

AbstractEffective light manipulation is pivotal for photodetectors that require broadband or spectra‑selective responsivity gains. In this study, we demonstrate that optimally fabricated zinc‑oxide (ZnO) microcavity arrays (MCAs) deposited on silicon PIN devices markedly boost photo‑responsivity. Bo

AbstractModern medicine continually seeks therapies that combine high efficacy with cost‑effectiveness, driving research toward novel delivery platforms that target diseased tissues while sparing healthy cells. Metallic nanoparticles—particularly superparamagnetic core‑shell constructs—offer a uniq

AbstractCortisol, the quintessential stress hormone, is secreted by the hypothalamic‑pituitary‑adrenal (HPA) axis and serves as a critical biomarker for psychological and physiological stress. Prolonged cortisol over‑expression can lead to serious disorders such as Cushing’s and Addison’s disease, u

AbstractLuminescent materials are of worldwide interest because of their unique optical properties. Silica, which is transparent to light, is an ideal matrix for luminescent materials. Luminescent silica nanoparticles (LSNs) have broad applications because of their enhanced chemical and thermal stab

Abstract We introduce an AlGaN/GaN high‑electron‑mobility transistor (HEMT) that achieves a 803 V breakdown voltage (BV) and a modest 23 % increase in dynamic ON‑resistance (RON, D) compared to a conventional device. The key innovation is fluorine ion implantation within the thick Si3N4 passivation

AbstractUsing first‑principles density functional theory (DFT), we investigated how various vacancy defects and biaxial tensile strain alter the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of monolayer tungsten diselenide (WSe2). The removal of two tungsten atoms (VW2) or one tungsten atom toget
