Bolstering functionality in multilayer and bilayer WS₂ via focused laser micro-engraving by Chan, Si Min, Poh, Eng Tuan, Leong, Jin Feng, Goh, Johnson Kuan Eng, Sow, Chorng Haur

“…Coupled with the flexible maneuver of the laser, various monolayer designs can be achieved, including micro-antenna, waveguide, and electrode geometries with lateral line widths at 1.5 µm resolution. Furthermore, we also detail the optical properties of the monolayers obtained from laser thinning, with those acquired from multilayers containing more defect-bound excitons, whereas those lasered from bilayers presenting a trion-dominated profile similar to as-grown monolayers. …”

A novel gravity-driven nanofibrous membrane for point-of-use water disinfection: polydopamine-induced in situ silver incorporation by Wang, Jianqiang, Wu, Yichao, Yang, Zhe, Guo, Hao, Cao, Bin, Tang, Chuyang Y.

“…These nanoparticles were uniformly distributed on the surface of nanofibers with no apparent agglomeration at a silver loading up to 4.36 wt.% (cPAN-Ag1.5). The silver-incorporated membrane cPAN-Ag1.5 achieved a high pure water flux of 130 Lm−2 h−1 at 10-cm water head, demonstrating the feasibility of energy-efficient gravity-driven filtration and eliminating the need for electrical power. …”

The protocol of a clinical effectiveness trial comparing standard step-up care, early combination DMARD therapy and early use of TNF inhibitors for the treatment of moderate to sev... by Watson, M, Tillett, W, Jadon, D, Massa, MS, Francis, A, Gullick, N, Rombach, I, Sinomati, Y, Tucker, L, Coates, LC

“…Early use of biologics has also been shown to be superior to methotrexate but these drugs are costly and not usually funded first line. However, if a short course of biologics can rapidly suppress inflammation allowing treatment to be withdrawn and response maintained on methotrexate, this may be a cost-effective model for early use.…”
