AbstractIn this study, we introduce a simple, ambient‑temperature synthesis of In₂S₃ quantum dots (QDs) that delivers superior crystal quality and narrow size distribution. Using sodium sulfide, indium chloride, and sodium dodecyl sulfate as a surfactant, we obtained monodispersed QDs with an averag

AbstractSemiconductor‑ionic materials (SIMs) have emerged as a compelling class of electrolytes for low‑temperature solid‑oxide fuel cells (LT‑SOFCs) due to their exceptional ionic conductivity. In this study we investigate a composite pellet comprising the mixed‑valence perovskite La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2F

AbstractThis bibliometric analysis explores 2,066 publications on nanoparticles—focused on drug delivery and magnetic nanoparticles—from 1980 to October 2017. Using the Web of Science Core Collection, we mapped research trends, citation performance, and emerging keywords. The study reveals that chem

AbstractWe investigated how diffuse Cu+ impacts the microstructure and performance of amorphous indium‑gallium‑zinc‑oxide (a‑IGZO) thin‑film transistors (TFTs) during a clean etch‑stopper (CL‑ES) process and a back‑channel etch (BCE) process. Time‑of‑flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF‑SIMS)

AbstractEarly cancer detection hinges on identifying inflammatory cues that precede malignancy. We evaluated primary antibody‑conjugated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as targeted contrast agents for chronic inflammation in ulcerative colitis (UC) and steatohepatitis models, conditions that predispose t

AbstractTransition‑metal hydroxides combined with graphene are emerging as next‑generation electrode materials for energy storage, offering high capacity, excellent conductivity, and robust cycling life. Here we present a facile, single‑step, in‑situ synthesis of a cypress‑leaf‑shaped Cu(OH)₂ nanost

AbstractWe present a streamlined approach to produce a highly sensitive and durable surface‑enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate by integrating co‑sputtering of silver (Ag) and aluminum (Al) with atomic layer deposition (ALD). The process begins by co‑sputtering Ag and Al onto glass slides, fo

AbstractWe performed a systematic study of the influence of environmental conditions on the electrical performance characteristics of solution-processed 2,7-dioctyl [1] benzothieno[3,2-b][1]-benzothiophene (C8-BTBT) thin-film transistors (TFTs). Four environmental exposure conditions were considered

AbstractDeep ultraviolet AlGaN-based nanorod (NR) arrays were fabricated by nanoimprint lithography and top-down dry etching techniques from a fully structural LED wafer. Highly ordered periodic structural properties and morphology were confirmed by scanning electron microscopy and transmission elec

AbstractWe demonstrate the negative capacitance (NC) effect of HfZrOx-based field-effect transistors (FETs) in the experiments. Improved IDS, SS, and Gm of NCFET have been achieved in comparison with control metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) FET. In this experiment, the bottom MIS transistors with dif

Abstract Recent advances in nitrogen‑doped carbon dots (NCDs) have highlighted their tunable photoluminescence (PL) as a promising feature for optical sensing and lighting. However, the precise mechanism behind PL modulation remains debated. Here, we report a facile hydrothermal synthesis of yellow‑

Abstract First‑principles density‑functional calculations reveal that both monolayer and bilayer blue‑phosphorene/graphene‑like GaN van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures are indirect‑gap semiconductors with a type‑II band alignment. The bandgap (Eg) can be tuned linearly by an external v

Abstract A novel CMOS‑process‑compatible high‑holding voltage silicon‑controlled rectifier (HHV‑SCR) is presented, designed to deliver superior electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. By integrating a hole (or electron) recombination region (H‑RR or E‑RR), the device not only recombines minority c

AbstractThe practical use of lithium/sulfur batteries is limited by the migration of soluble polysulfides (Li2Sn, 4 ≤ n ≤ 8) from cathode to anode, which undermines cell stability. In this study, we fabricated a TiO2/porous carbon (TiO2/PC) composite coating on a Celgard 2400 separator, acting as a

AbstractNon-volatile memory (NVM) will play a very important role in the next-generation digital technologies, including the Internet of things. The metal-oxide memristors, especially based on HfO2, have been favored by lots of researchers because of its simple structure, high integration, fast oper

AbstractInGaNBi alloys are promising for next‑generation photonic devices, offering a versatile platform for band‑gap tuning across the visible to mid‑infrared spectrum. Using first‑principles density‑functional theory, we systematically investigated how indium (In) and bismuth (Bi) concentrations i

Abstract We report on the growth of Te-doped catalyst‑free InAs nanowires by molecular beam epitaxy on silicon (111) substrates. Wire morphology—shorter length and larger diameter—shifts progressively with higher Te concentration. Transmission electron microscopy and X‑ray diffraction show an incre

Abstract The rapid proliferation of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) has heightened human exposure, yet current analytical tools cannot simultaneously quantify and characterize ENPs within biological matrices. Single‑particle inductively coupled plasma‑mass spectrometry (sp‑ICP‑MS) offers simultaneou

AbstractWe examined how a nitrogen plasma treatment alters the band alignment between few‑layer MoS₂ and HfO₂ by X‑ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The valence‑band offset (VBO) and conduction‑band offset (CBO) of the MoS₂/HfO₂ heterojunction were found to be 2.09 ± 0.1 eV and 2.41 ± 0.1 eV wit

AbstractWe present a high‑uniformity, direct‑lit mini‑chip‑scale packaged LED (mini‑CSPLED) backlight unit (BLU) that integrates a quantum‑dot (QD) film, a diffusion plate, and dual prism films. Three mini‑CSPLEDs with emission angles of 120°, 150°, and 180° were fabricated via a chip‑scale package
