Neural interfaces have traditionally been fabricated on rigid and planar substrates, including silicon and engineering thermoplastics. However, the neural tissue with which these devices interact is both 3D and highly compliant. The mechanical mismatch at the biotic-abiotic interface is expected to contribute to the t…
The conduction band offset (CBO) of SnS as the light absorbing layer and Zn1−xMgxO as the buffer layer in SnS thin film solar cells has been optimized to improve the solar cell conversion efficiency. We controlled the CBO experimentally by varying the Mg content (x) of the Zn1−xMgxO layer. The optimum CBO value range…
With the purpose of developing readily synthesized CHEF (chelation-enhanced fluorescence) type Zn(2+) probes with relatively simple molecular structures and excellent sensing behavior, p-anisoyl chloride was used for the acylation of 5-(pentafluorophenyl)dipyrromethane. Interestingly, the α,β'-diacylated product PS2 w…
Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) has been used historically for the fabrication of thin films composed of inorganic materials. But the advent of specialized techniques such as plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) has extended this deposition technique to various monomers. More specifically, the deposition…
Vibrated polar disks have been used experimentally to investigate collective motion of driven particles, where fully ordered asymptotic regimes could not be reached. Here we present a model reproducing quantitatively the single, binary, and collective properties of this granular system. Using system sizes not accessib…
Self sensing Dielectric Elastomer Actuator (DEA) artificial muscles will enable the creation of soft, lightweight robots with animal-like capabilities. We demonstrate a fast, accurate, and economic self sensing algorithm that enables an arbitrary voltage oscillation to be used to sense DEA capacitance during actuation…
Abstract The ternary compound semiconductor Cu2SnS3 (CTS) is formed from non‐toxic materials that are abundant in Earth's crust and other low‐cost elements. CTS has also been reported to a band gap energy range of 0.93–1.77 eV and an absorption coefficient of 1.0×104 cm–1. Consequently, CTS is a potential material for…
Mesoporous nanoparticles for drug delivery would benefit significantly from further improvements in targeting efficiency and endosomal release. We present a system based on colloidal mesoporous silica nanoparticles with targeting-ligands and a red-light photosensitizer. This nanoparticle system provides spatial and te…
We report superconductivity in the ternary half-Heusler compound LuPtBi, with ${T}_{c}=1.0$ K and ${H}_{c2}=1.6$ T. The crystal structure of LuPtBi lacks inversion symmetry, hence the material is a noncentrosymmetric superconductor. Magnetotransport data show semimetallic behavior in the normal state, which is evidenc…
An alternating stack (SG/GN) consisting of SnO₂-functionalized graphene oxide (SG) and amine-functionalized GO (GN) is prepared in solution. The thermally reduced SG/GN (r(SG/GN)) with decreased micro-mesopores and completely eliminated macropores, results in a high reversible capacity and excellent capacity retention…
We report nanocomposites of increased dielectric permittivity, enhanced electric breakdown strength and high‐energy density based on surface‐modified BaTiO 3 ( BT ) nanoparticles filled poly(vinylidene fluoride) polymer. Polyvinylprrolidone ( PVP ) is used as the surface modification agent and homogeneous nanocomposit…
BiVO4 powders with hierarchical structures were prepared by the microwave hydrothermal method at different pHs, using Bi(NO3)3·5H2O and NH4VO3 as raw materials. The results show that, when the pH value of the precursor is 0.59, the as-prepared powders are monoclinic BiVO4 crystals with octahedron and decahedron morpho…
We have carried out a mechanistic investigation of aerobic dehydrogenation of cyclohexanones and cyclohexenones to phenols with a Pd(TFA)2/2-dimethylaminopyridine catalyst system. Numerous experimental methods, including kinetic studies, filtration tests, Hg poisoning experiments, transmission electron microscopy, and…
Surface plasmons in metal hole arrays have been studied extensively in the context of extraordinary optical transmission, but so far these arrays have not been studied as resonators for surface plasmon lasing at optical frequencies. We experimentally study a metal hole array with a semiconductor (InGaAs) gain layer pl…
Here, we report the fabrication of nanoscale (15 nm) fully transparent p-type SnO thin film transistors (TFT) at temperatures as low as 180 °C with record device performance. Specifically, by carefully controlling the process conditions, we have developed SnO thin films with a Hall mobility of 18.71 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1)…
Novel cobalt-based heterogeneous catalysts have been developed for the direct oxidative esterification of alcohols using molecular oxygen as benign oxidant. Pyrolysis of nitrogen-ligated cobalt(II) acetate supported on commercial carbon transforms typical homogeneous complexes to highly active and selective heterogene…
An orange-red organic light-emitting diode containing a heptazine derivative exhibits high performance with a maximum external quantum efficiency of 17.5 ± 1.3% and a peak luminance of 17000 ± 1600 cd m⁻² without any light out-coupling enhancement. The high electroluminescence performance can be ascribed to the presen…
Abstract Layered sodium titanium oxide, Na2Ti3O7, is synthesized by a solid‐state reaction method as a potential anode for sodium‐ion batteries. Through optimization of the electrolyte and binder, the microsized Na2Ti3O7 electrode delivers a reversible capacity of 188 mA h g−1 in 1 M NaFSI/PC electrolyte at a current…
Novel silicate nanoplatelets that induce osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) in the absence of any osteoinductive factor are reported. The presence of the silicate triggers a set of events that follows the temporal pattern of osteogenic differentiation. These findings underscore the pote…
While graphene oxide (GO) has been found to be the most toxic graphene-based nanomaterial, its environmental fate is still unexplored. In this study, the aggregation kinetics and stability of GO were investigated using time-resolved dynamic light scattering over a wide range of aquatic chemistries (pH, salt types (NaC…
