Precision synthesis : designing hot spots over hot spots via selective gold deposition on silver octahedra edges by Hegde, Ravi S., Tjiu, Weng Weei, Cui, Yan, Ling, Xing Yi, Liu, Yejing, Pedireddy, Srikanth, Lee, Yih Hong

“…Here, the synthesis of designer nanoparticles, where plasmonic-active Au nanodots are selectively deposited onto the edge/tip hot spot regions of Ag nanoparticles, is demonstrated using a two-step seed-mediated precision synthesis approach. Such a “hot spots over hot spots” strategy leads to an efficient enhancement of the plasmonic hot spot volumes on single Ag nanoparticles. …”

Xunzi's concern for yu (desire) and ritual approaches for its moral transformation by Zhou,Yalin

“…To complement some current discussions of moral deliberation as a crucial approach for desire transformation, this dissertation also argues that it is essential to consider the sociocultural self, namely, seeing oneself as a bearer of specific roles in a larger community characterized by role-based rituals and division. …”

Secure and secret cooperation in robotic swarms by Castelló Ferrer, Eduardo, Hardjono, Thomas, Pentland, Alex 'Sandy', Dorigo, Marco

“…We propose a system where robots in a swarm, to cooperate towards mission completion, have to "prove" their integrity to their peers by exchanging cryptographic proofs. We show the implications of this approach for two different swarm robotics missions: foraging and maze formation. …”

The Importance of Bystanders in Threat Assessment and Management by Borum, Randy, Rowe, Mary

“…Numerous studies of targeted violence (e.g., mass shootings and school shootings), have demonstrated that peers and bystanders often have knowledge of an attacker’s intentions, concerning communication, and troubling behavior before the attack occurs. …”

Electrodeposition of metal nanostructures for plasmonic sensing by Mueller, Aaron David

“…The development of a process which uses a transparent conductive layer of indium tin oxide rather than a metal seed layer is reported. The simulation and fabrication results of various types of high aspect ratio periodic structures, chosen for light localization and polarization invariance, are presented and analyzed, including structure morphology and the accompanying process limitations. …”

Alkali additives enable efficient large area (>55 cm²) slot-die coated perovskite solar modules by Rana, Prem Jyoti Singh, Febriansyah, Benny, Koh, Teck Min, Bening Tirta Muhammad, Salim, Teddy, Hooper, Thomas J. N., Kanwat, Anil, Ghosh, Biplab, Kajal, Priyanka, Lew, Jia Haur, Aw, Yeow Chong, Yantara, Natalia, Bruno, Annalisa, Pullarkat, Sumod A., Ager, Joel W., Leong, Wei Lin, Mhaisalkar, Subodh Gautam, Mathews, Nripan

“…Typical fabrication methods for laboratory-scale (<1 cm2) perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are undeniably not scalable and the control of crystallization of large-area perovskite layer for commercial sized modules is also particularly challenging. Here, a seed-assisted crystallization approach is demonstrated through addition of alkali salts, CsPbBr3 and KPb2Br5, to the perovskite precursor ink for enabling homogeneous and highly crystalline large-area Cs0.15FA0.85Pb(I0.83Br0.17)3 (CsFA) perovskite films via scalable slot-die coating technique. …”
