Chemical exfoliation of 1-dimensional antiferromagnetic nanoribbons from a non-van der Waals material

We show that simple chemical exfoliation methods can be used to exfoliate non-van der Waals, chain-containing compounds to 1D nanoribbons. After this process, they still retain magnetic behavior.

Catalytic selectivity of nanorippled graphene

Experiments have shown that nanoscale ripples in a graphene membrane exhibit high catalytic selectivity toward hydrogen dissociation over other reactions involving hydrogen.

Contact engineering for 2D Janus MoSSe/metal junctions

This study revealed the transition from Schottky to Ohmic/quasi-Ohmic contacts within the metal–MoSSe junctions and employed machine learning to predict the Schottky barrier, thus facilitating the realization of Ohmic contact in Janus MoSSe devices.

Colloidal synthesis of the mixed ionic–electronic conducting NaSbS2 nanocrystals

Mixed ionic-electronic conducting NaSbS2 NCs with different sizes (50 to 90 nm) and shapes (cube, quasi-spherical cuboctahedra and truncated cubes) were synthesized using a colloidal approach by systematically changing the reaction parameters.

Edible cellulose-based colorimetric timer

A biocompatible and edible colorimetric timer is obtained by exploiting the dynamic colour changes of the cholesteric liquid crystalline mesophases of hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) in aqueous suspensions.

Template-directed 2D nanopatterning of S = 1/2 molecular spins

We demonstrate fabrication of a surface-supported array of VOPc with controlled spin-spin distance, electronic decoupling from the substrate, and individual addressability to realize molecular qubit platforms interfaceable to solid state devices.

Hardware Trojans based on two-dimensional memtransistors

Hardware Trojans (HTs) have emerged as a major security threat for integrated circuits (ICs) owing to the involvement of untrustworthy actors in the globally distributed semiconductor supply chain.

Cu and Si co-doping on TiO2 nanosheets to modulate reactive oxygen species for efficient photocatalytic methane conversion

The Cu and Si co-doping could rationally regulate the electronic structure of TiO2 nanosheets and maneuver the reactive oxygen species for methane activation, which achieves significant photocatalytic methane conversion into ethane.

Atomic-scale dents on cellulose nanofibers: the origin of diverse defects in sustainable fibrillar materials

Atomic-scale dent structures on the surfaces of cellulose nanofibers were detected. These dent parts constituted at least 30–40% of the total length of the dispersed nanofibers, and deep dents induced the kinking and fragmentation of nanofibers.

Molecular mechanics of Ag nanowire transfer processes subjected to contact loading by a PDMS substrate

A nanomechanical design method for the laser transfer process of a single AgNW is proposed. The nonlinear mechanical behavior of AgNWs with various geometric conditions is fully characterized through MD simulations and experiments.
