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. …”

Synergistic-potential engineering enables high-efficiency graphene photodetectors for near- to mid-infrared light by Jiang, Hao, Fu, Jintao, Wei, Jingxuan, Li, Shaojuan, Nie, Changbin, Sun, Feiying, Wu, Steve Qing Yang, Liu, Mingxiu, Dong, Zhaogang, Wei, Xingzhan, Gao, Weibo, Qiu, Cheng-Wei

“…The 2D potential well constructed by dielectric structures can spatially (laterally and vertically) produce a strong trapping force on the photogenerated carriers in graphene and inhibit their recombination, thereby improving the external quantum efficiency (EQE) and photogain of the device with wavelength-immunity, which enable a high responsivity of 0.2 A/W-38 A/W across a broad infrared detection band from 1.55 to 11 µm. …”

Smart sleep monitoring: sparse sensor-based spatiotemporal CNN for sleep posture detection by Hu, Dikun, Gao, Weidong, Ang, Kai Keng, Hu, Mengjiao, Chuai, Gang, Huang, Rong

“…Sleep quality is heavily influenced by sleep posture, with research indicating that a supine posture can worsen obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) while lateral postures promote better sleep. For patients confined to beds, regular changes in posture are crucial to prevent the development of ulcers and bedsores. …”

Co-seismic ruptures of the 12 May 2008, Ms 8.0 Wenchuan earthquake, Sichuan : East–west crustal shortening on oblique, parallel thrusts along the eastern edge of Tibet by Liu-Zeng, J., Zhang, Z., Wen, L., Sun, J., Xing, X., Hu, G., Xu, Q., Zeng, L., Ding, L., Ji, C., Hudnut, K. W., van der Woerd, J., Tapponnier, Paul

“…The principal rupture, on the NW-dipping Beichuan fault, displays nearly equal amounts of thrust and right-lateral slip. Basin-ward of this rupture, another continuous surface break is observed for over 70 km on the parallel, more shallowly NW-dipping Pengguan fault. …”

Uncertainties of glacial isostatic adjustment model predictions in North America associated with 3D structure by Li, Tanghua, Wu, Patrick, Wang, Hansheng, Steffen, Holger, Khan, Nicole S., Engelhart, Simon E., Vacchi, Matteo, Shaw, Timothy Adam, Peltier, W. Richard, Horton, Benjamin Peter

“…Spatially, the size of the RSL uncertainties varies across North America with the largest from Hudson Bay and near previous ice margins along the northern Atlantic and Pacific coasts, which suggests 3D viscosity structure in the lower mantle and laterally varying lithospheric thickness. Temporally, RSL uncertainties decrease from the Last Glacial Maximum to present except for west of Hudson Bay and the northeastern Pacific coast. …”
