Abstract In comparison with conventional semiconductors, most two-dimensional semiconductor (2DSC) materials are dissimilar in structure and composition. Herein, we use electron-counting rules to propose a large family of 2DSCs, which all adopt the same structure and are composed of solely main group elements. Advance…

Ultrabright carbon nanodots-hybridized silica nanospheres (CSNs) are synthesized through the Stöber process of silane functionalized C-dots. The fluorescence of carbon nanodots is converged intensely. A CSN is about 3800 times brighter than a single-carbon nanodot. Along with their high brightness and low cytotoxicity…

There is a great demand to understand cell transplantation, migration, division, fusion, and lysis. Correspondingly, illuminant object-labeled bioprobes have been employed as long-term cellular tracers, which could provide valuable insights into detecting these biological processes. In this work, we designed and synth…

In this paper, we report the synthesis of polystyrene end- capped with three- short- arm PDMS (PS-(PDMS)3) using poly(styrene – co–vinyltriethoxysilane) copolymers as precursors. These materials were obtained in a two-step process; first, two random copolymers of poly(St –co – VTES) having different molecular weight,…

We used atomistic simulations to study the origin of the change of resistance over time in the amorphous phase of GeTe, a prototypical phase-change material (PCM). Understanding the cause of resistance drift is one of the biggest challenges to improve multilevel storage technology. For this purpose, we generated amorp…
