The two-dimensional limit of layered materials has recently been realized through the use of van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures composed of weakly interacting layers. In this paper, we describe two different classes of vdW heterostructures: inorganic vdW heterostructures prepared by co-lamination and restacking; and…

Gold nanoshells (AuNSs) present a vivid example of integrating nanoscience in order to solve a biomedical problem. AuNSs exhibit tunable surface plasmon resonance, which can be tuned to the near-infrared region in order to realize optimal tissue penetration. The highly efficient light-to-heat transformation by AuNSs d…

Molluscan shells exhibit a wide diversity of pigmentation patterns and are often used as models for understanding the mechanisms underlying biological pattern formation. Numerous mathematical models have been put forward to describe these patterns, but all rely on assumptions regarding the nature of the pigments and t…

Achieving sub‐10 nm high‐aspect‐ratio patterns from diblock copolymer self‐assembly requires both a high interaction parameter (χ, which is determined by the incompatibility between the two blocks) and a perpendicular orientation of microdomains. However, these two conditions are extremely difficult to achieve simulta…

Protonation of MeRNH·BH3 (R = Me or H) with HX (X = B(C6F5)4, OTf, or Cl), followed by immediate, spontaneous H2 elimination, yielded the amine-boronium cation salt [MeRNH·BH2(OEt2)][B(C6F5)4] and related polar covalent analogs, MeRNH·BH2X (X = OTf or Cl). These species can be deprotonated to conveniently generate rea…

The dynamic spreading of a liquid droplet on micropillar-arrayed surfaces is experimentally investigated. A theoretical model is proposed to include energy dissipations raised from both the viscous resistance at mesoscale and the molecular friction at microscale in the triple-phase region. The scaling laws and spreadi…

When comparing the aging characteristics of hot and warm mix asphalts from a technical point of view, it can intuitively be expected that a warm mix asphalt would be less subjected to aging-induced failures due to lower application temperatures. Since the side effects of warm asphalt technology should be investigated…
