TMDs vdW heterostructures generally possess a type-II band alignment which facilitates the formation of interlayer excitons between the constituent monolayers. Manipulation of the interlayer excitons ...

Scientists have demonstrated for the first time that interlayer coupling in a van der Waals (vdW) material can be largely modulated by a protonic gate, 'injecting' protons into the device. The same ...

Researchers at Kyushu University have shown that careful engineering of materials interfaces can unlock new applications for ...

Forward osmosis (FO), an emerging membrane-based technology, possesses low energy consumption and low membrane fouling potential, but the lack of high-performance FO membrane hinders the large-scale ...

Scientists from Huaqiao University in China have designed a perovskite solar cell that utilizes a hole-selective interlayer inhibiting ion diffusion to increase the device's stability. Ion migration ...

Researchers from Korea University have fabricated an inverted perovskite solar cell by introducing an electron-accepting interlayer at the interface between the perovskite layer and the electron ...

This, and six other questions about a recent first in physics, answered. A UT-led team observed an interlayer skyrmion—a swirling pattern of electric dipoles in an ultrathin material—for the first ...

Researchers converted layered MXenes into chemically bonded solids using metal intercalation, boosting thermal stability and performance in zinc-iodine batteries. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Two-dimensional ...

Three years ago, the City of Dubuque Engineering and River City Paving (RCP) ventured forth to try a new construction method on busy Central Ave., an arterial street in downtown Dubuque, IA. Faced ...
