Chronic problems of zinc (Zn) metal anodes, such as notorious zinc dendrite growth and continuous side and corrosion reactions, hamper the commercialization of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs). Herein, we have demonstrated the significance of surface properties of Zn anodes for suppressing parasitic side reactions and zinc dendrite growth. On the basis of the findings, we have successfully stabilized Zn anodes by building a thin and hydrophilic artificial solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) laye

Extrusion-based 3D printing, an emerging technology, has been previously used in the comprehensive fabrication of light-emitting diodes using various functional inks, without cleanrooms or conventional microfabrication techniques. Here, polymer-based photodetectors exhibiting high performance are fully 3D printed and thoroughly characterized. A semiconducting polymer ink is printed and optimized for the active layer of the photodetector, achieving an external quantum efficiency of 25.3%, which i

We fabricate high-performance, flexible, transparent electrochromic (EC) films and thin film heaters (TFHs) on an ITO/Cu/ITO (ICI) multilayer electrode prepared by continuous roll-to-roll (RTR) sputtering of ITO and Cu targets. The RTR-sputtered ICI multilayer on a 700 mm wide PET substrate at room temperature exhibits a sheet resistance of 11.8 Ω/square and optical transmittance of 73.9%, which are acceptable for the fabrication of flexible and transparent EC films and TFHs. The effect of the C

The ability to fully 3D-print active electronic and optoelectronic devices will enable unique device form factors via strategies untethered from conventional microfabrication facilities. Currently, the performance of 3D-printed optoelectronics can suffer from nonuniformities in the solution-deposited active layers and unstable polymer-metal junctions. Here, we demonstrate a multimodal printing methodology that results in fully 3D-printed flexible organic light-emitting diode displays. The electr

Single crystalline nanomembranes (NMs) represent a new embodiment of semiconductors having a two-dimensional flexural character with comparable crystalline perfection and optoelectronic efficacy. In this Letter, we demonstrate the preparation of GaN NMs with a freestanding thickness between 90 to 300 nm. Large-area (>5 × 5 mm(2)) GaN NMs can be routinely obtained using a procedure of conductivity-selective electrochemical etching. GaN NM is atomically flat and possesses an optical quality simila

We present a gel-free experimental system to study the kinetics of the reaction front in the A+B-->C reaction-diffusion system with initially-separated reactants. The experimental setup consists of a CCD camera monitoring the kinetics of the front formed in the reaction-diffusion process Cu(2+) + tetra [disodium ethyl bis(5-tetrazolylazo) acetate trihydrate] -->1:1 complex, in aqueous, gel-free solution, taking place inside a 150 microm gap between two flat microscope slides. The experimental re

The ${}^{20}\mathrm{Ne}(p,t){}^{18}\mathrm{Ne}$ reaction has been studied in order to investigate the properties of ${}^{18}\mathrm{Ne}$ excited states. A missing ${3}^{+}$ state of ${}^{18}\mathrm{Ne},$ which could have a great influence on the ${}^{17}\mathrm{F}(p,\ensuremath{\gamma}){}^{18}\mathrm{Ne}$ reaction rate, was searched for, but the existence of this state was not clearly verified. The spins and parities of the 5.11- and 5.15-MeV states were assigned tentatively by angular distribut

To resolve the problem of target specificity and light transmission to deep-seated tissues in photodynamic therapy (PDT), we report a cancer cell-targeted photosensitizer using photoprotein-conjugated upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with high target specificity and efficient light transmission to deep tissues. Core-shell UCNPs with low internal energy back transfer were conjugated with recombinant proteins that consists of a photosensitizer (KillerRed; KR) and a cancer cell-targeted lead pept

β-solidifying γ‑titanium aluminide (γ-TiAl) alloys, which typically contain β-phase stabilizers such as Nb and Cr, hold great promise for the aerospace industry and can potentially be processed through additive manufacturing to realize performance unachievable using conventional methods. However, the effects of laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) parameters on the characteristics of the thus obtained samples remain underexplored. To address this gap, we herein examined the effects of hatch spacing o
