ABSTRACT As a crucial part of optical systems, optical windows play an important role in medicine and industry, yet their performance is often compromised by surface contamination. Inspired by the lacrimal gland's tear storage and secretion mechanism, we propose a Lacrimal Gland‐inspired Active Replenishing Slippery S…
We demonstrate that homogeneous MoTe2 complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) inverters can be constructed through a simple work function engineering strategy using van der Waals contacts. Polarity control of MoTe2 transistors is achieved by employing high-work function degenerated semiconductor SnSe2 and low-w…
Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is a key tool for probing catalytic processes, but interpreting experimental spectra can be challenging and often requires guidance from theoretical simulations. In our recent work, we introduced PALIRS [Bhatia et al., npj Comput. Mater., 2025, 11, 324], a Python-based Active Learning Code f…
Colloidal gels are frequently modeled as monodisperse particle networks, although practical formulations commonly contain particles with multiple characteristic sizes. Here, we use large-scale, hydrodynamically resolved simulations of colloidal depletion gels to isolate the effects of particle size and local packing i…
We report the realization of a gate-defined quantum point contact (QPC) in bilayer graphene proximitized by a single aluminum superconducting electrode. Superconducting correlations induced in the ballistic channel enhance the conductance plateaus beyond their normal-state values. In addition, we observe a pronounced…

Many crystals exhibit polymorphism, undergoing atomic rearrangements that result in unit cells belonging to different symmetry groups. These structural changes directly affect lattice vibration modes and consequently influence their mid-infrared optical properties. In this study, we use tungsten trioxide (WO$_3$) as a…
Materials that can switch between low and high thermal conductivity states enable on-demand management of temperature and heat flow, which will advance the application of solid-state refrigeration, energy conversion, and thermal circuits. Here, we report a large thermal conductivity on/off ratio of ∼1.49, accompanied…
Fluorescence blinking, often regarded as a limitation for stable emitters, can enable super-resolution localization microscopy and serve as a versatile reporter of the photophysical states of quantum emitters and their interactions with local environment. However, conventional blinking emitters are typically single qu…
We present VIBE-QC, a general-purpose open-source electronic-structure code for molecules and solids, developed almost entirely through generative-AI-assisted programming (“vibe-coding”) under expert human direction. The molecular stack provides Hartree–Fock and Kohn–Sham DFT over the full LIBXC library, analytic grad…
Semi-metallic noble-metal dichalcogenides are promising materials for infrared optoelectronics, yet the origin and tunability of their nonlinear optical responses remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate in-situ mechanical control of photon-drag photocurrents in polycrystalline PtSe$_2$ thin films grown on flexi…
Lignocellulosic residues are non-cost, non-edible, renewable feedstocks that can be used in polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production. PHB is a bioplastic synthetized by microorganisms, formed intracellularly under stressful growth conditions; however, its production costs are high, representing the major drawback for foss…
Experiments have revealed that collective strong coupling in optical cavities can drastically alter the conductivity and dielectric properties of molecular ensembles, or even trigger abrupt phase transitions (in Rayleigh scattering or dispersion force driven conformational equilibrium). Until now, the underlying physi…
Abstract Mixed‐conducting ceramic hollow fiber membranes are a versatile platform for oxygen separation, value‐added chemical production, and oxy‐combustion. Because oxygen permeation is thermally activated, these systems typically rely on bulky, energy‐intensive furnaces that suffer from low efficiency and large ther…
We investigate the structural and optoelectronic properties of oligothiophene (nT) molecules encapsulated in boron-nitride (BN) nanotubes using density functional theory, many-body GW and Bethe-Salpeter equation approaches. We show that the binding energy is maximized for tube diameters of approximately 10 Å, decreasi…
MXenes, two-dimensional transition-metal carbides and nitrides, are typically obtained from MAX phases, yet historical reports suggest a broader, largely unexplored chemical space. Here we combine machine-learning-assisted database mining with experiments to uncover overlooked multilayer (ml) MXenes. Screening of repo…
Introduction Steel grillage foundations are the standard for four-leg lattice towers; yet, the performance of buried steel angle sections is drastically reduced due to corrosion. Studies on protective coatings for similar structural components are scarce. Methods In the present work, the corrosion performance of steel…
The optical characterization of atomic-layer materials requires the quantitative determination of both their complex refractive indices (RIs) and thickness. However, existing methods rely on preset thicknesses, empirical models, or auxiliary characterization tools. It remains a challenge to jointly retrieve real part…
Training set quality and diversity are key determinants of the reliability of machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs), yet using massive datasets in full is often impractical and redundant, making intelligent data selection essential. A major bottleneck, however, is the lack of infrastructure for uniformly acc…
We propose a three-terminal thermal amplifier based on a Sierpinski-gasket Aharonov-Bohm interferometer, where the third (base) terminal is realized as a floating Buttiker probe that acts as an engineered dissipative reservoir, exchanging energy with the conductor while carrying no net charge current. Using the nonequ…
