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 ...

A new academic review dissects how 3D printed concrete behaves in earthquakes and where the technology must improve to earn code approval.

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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