Remarkable SERS Activity Observed from Amorphous ZnO Nanocages by Wang, Xiaotian, Shi, Wenxiong, Huang, Weifeng, Lin, Jie, Ma, Guanshui, Li, Shuzhou, Guo, Lin, Jin, Zhao

“…The efficient ICTP can even generate π bonding in Zn−S bonds peculiar to the mercapto molecule adsorbed a‐ZnO NCs, which has been verified through the X‐ray absorption near‐edge structure (XANES) characterization. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time such remarkable SERS activity has been observed within amorphous semiconductor nanomaterials, which could open a new frontier for developing highly sensitive and stable SERS technology.…”

Investigating circular dorsal ruffles through varying substrate stiffness and mathematical modeling by LeDuc, Philip R., Zeng, Yukai, Lai, Tanny, Koh, Cheng Gee, Chiam, Keng-Hwee

“…It has been observed that CDR formation leads to stress fibers disappearing near the CDRs. Since stress fiber formation can be modified by substrate stiffness, we examined the effect of substrate stiffness on CDR formation by seeding NIH 3T3 fibroblasts on glass and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrates of varying stiffnesses from 20 kPa to 1800 kPa. …”

Novel plasma-assisted low-temperature-processed SnO2 thin films for efficient flexible perovskite photovoltaics by Subbiah, Anand S., Mathews, Nripan, Mhaisalkar, Subodh, Sarkar, Shaibal K.

“…To circumvent the thermal limitations that hinder the use of metal oxide charge transport layers on plastic flexible substrates in such technologies, we employed a relatively low-power nitrogen plasma treatment to achieve compact SnO2 thin-film electrodes at near room temperature. The perovskite photovoltaic devices thus fabricated using N2 plasma-treated SnO2 performed on par with thermally annealed SnO2 electrodes and resulted in a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of ca. 20.3% with stabilized power output (SPO) of ca. 19.1% on rigid substrates. …”
