The role of regional heterogeneity in age-related differences in functional hemispheric asymmetry : an fMRI study by Heng, Gladys Jiamin, Wu, Chiao-Yi, Archer, Josephine Astrid, Miyakoshi, Makoto, Nakai, Toshiharu, Chen, Annabel Shen-Hsing

“…As most studies employed working memory paradigms, it is therefore less clear if this pattern of neural reorganization is constrained by working memory processes or it would also emerge in other cognitive domains which are predominantly lateralized. Using blocked functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), the present study used a homophone judgment task and a line judgment task to investigate age-related differences in functional hemispheric asymmetry in language and visuospatial processing respectively. …”

Strong piezoelectricity in 3R-MoS₂ flakes by Hallil, Hamida, Cai, Weifan, Zhang, Kang, Yu, Peng, Liu, Sheng, Xu, Ran, Zhu, Chao, Xiong, Qihua, Liu, Zheng, Zhang, Qing

“…Through applying mechanical stress to a 48 nm 3R-MoS2 flake, a high output power density of 65 mW m-2 is obtained and is at least one order larger than those from the corresponding monolayer MoS2 flake. With out-of-plane lateral piezoresponse force microscopy technique, the two piezoelectric coefficients d33 and d13 are analyzed to be ≈0.9 and ≈1.6 pm V-1, respectively. …”
