Capping layer enabled controlled fragmentation of two-dimensional materials by cold drawing by Chen, Ming, Li, Dong, Hou, Yuxin, Gu, Mengxi, Zeng, Qingsheng, Ning, De, Li, Weimin, Zheng, Xue, Shao, Yan, Wang, Zhixun, Xia, Juan, Yang, Chunlei, Wei, Lei, Gao, Huajian

“…Here, supported by experimental investigation, finite element calculations, and theoretical modeling, we systematically study the effect of a capping layer on the controlled fragmentation of 2D materials deposited on polymer substrates during the cold drawing. The capping layer is found to prevent the premature fracture of the 2D thin films during elastic deformation of the substrate, when a specific requirement proposed by the theoretical model is satisfied. …”

Is everybody Kung Fu fighting? Indian popular cinema and martial arts films by Clini, Clelia

“…Drawing upon Yvonne Tasker’s examination of the ‘anticolonial narrative’ embedded in Hong Kong martial arts films, the analysis discusses the incorporation of a martial arts style of combat within Indian popular films as a response to colonial and orientalist tropes of Asian effeminacy and softness and argues that martial arts allowed the 1970s Hindi action hero to articulate an alternative, anticolonial, version of Asian masculinity.…”
