Field emission from flat graphene sheets is a challenge due to fewer emission sites. Here, we have synthesized free-standing vertically oriented few-layer graphene (FLG) films directly on dielectric substrates by hot-filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) without any catalyst or special substrate treatment. The fa…

Diatom‐based assays have been successfully associated worldwide with the tropic status of lakes. Several studies have demonstrated a correlation between epiphytic diatoms and nutrient load in shallow lakes and wetlands. We examine the relative importance of environmental factors in explaining the structure of epiphyti…

A polymer-stabilised blue-phase liquid crystal display (PSBP-LCD) with double-side in-plane switching (DS-IPS) electrode structure is proposed. This structure shows the transflective characteristics because the bottom electrodes are made by aluminium material. For transflective displays, it exhibits a well-matched vol…
