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

“…Herein, we report a newfound property of the laser-thinned regions to adhere strongly to the underlying substrate when lasered down to the monolayer limit. Upon a brief sonication in various solvents, the surrounding pristine multilayers can be lifted off, solely leaving behind the post-lasered monolayer patterns. …”

Design and verification of carefree maneuvering protection for a high performance fighter aircraft by Jebakumar, S. K., Pashilkar, Abhay A., Sundararajan, Narasimhan

“…This is then augmented with a novel angle of attack protection that comes into play only when the pilot inputs cause the aircraft to exceed the incidence on the positive or negative side (one sided protection), while maintaining the rate command attitude hold behavior within the normal operational bounds of angle of attack. …”

GBGVD: growth-based geodesic Voronoi diagrams by Qi, Yunjia, Zong, Chen, Zhang, Yunxiao, Chen, Shuangmin, Xu, Minfeng, Ran, Lingqiang, Xu, Jian, Xin, Shiqing, He, Ying

“…Generally speaking, each ordinary bisector point of the GVD is determined by two adjacent generators while each branching point of the GVD is given by at least three generators. When there are sufficiently many generators, straight-line distance serves as an effective alternative of geodesic distance for computing GVDs. …”

Machine learning hardware accelerator for single-event-latchup (SEL) and micro-SEL detection in commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) systems by Liao, Chenqing

“…Among the various radiation effects, the single-event-latchup (SEL) is of the most concern – it is catastrophic to semiconductor devices when it occurs. In addition, the micro-SEL, a low-current SEL phenomenon, may also occur, where the induced current is lower than an SEL – therefore more difficult to detect, potentially compromising device reliability and lifespan. …”

Single Zn atoms with acetate-anion-enabled asymmetric coordination for efficient H2O2 photosynthesis by Li, Yunxiang, Guo, Yan, Fan, Guilan, Luan, Deyan, Gu, Xiaojun, Lou, David Xiong Wen

“…Specifically, the O atom from acetate (OAc) anion participates in the coordination of single-Zn sites on CN, forming asymmetric Zn-N3 O moiety on CN (denoted as CN/Zn-OAc), in contrast to the obtained Zn-N4 sites when sulfate (SO4 ) is adopted (CN/Zn-SO4 ). Both experimental and theoretical investigations demonstrate that the Zn-N3 O moiety exhibits higher intrinsic activity for O2 reduction to H2 O2 than the Zn-N4 moiety. …”
