Dielectric‐Confinement‐Induced in‐Plane Photoelectric Anisotropy in Isotropic Quasi‐1D γ‐GaS Nanoribbon

ABSTRACT The growing demand for polarized photodetection has driven the need for compact, integrated, and multifunctional device architectures. Although one‐dimensional (1D) materials are of significant interest for their innate polarizatio...

A novel fabrication technique for three-dimensional concave nanolens arrays

A novel facile technique is proposed for fabricating three-dimensional (3D) concave nanolens arrays on a silicon substrate. The technique leverages an inherent characteristic of the polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) resist during inductively c...

Achieving high thermal conductivity of Al–50Si alloy through heat treatment and its microstructural evolution

Al–50Si alloys were prepared by powder extrusion and characterized for electronic packaging. The optimization of powder size, extrusion temperature, and heat treatment parameters was performed to enhance the microstructure and thermo-physic...

Ultrahigh-peak-power laser pulse compression by a double-smoothing grating compressor

Spatial intensity modulation in amplified laser beams, particularly hot spots, critically constrains attainable pulse peak power due to the damage threshold limitations of four-grating compressors. This study demonstrates that the double-sm...

From neuromodulation to bone homeostasis: therapeutic targets of nerve growth factor in skeletal diseases

The skeletal system is an important support structure in the human body, and its homeostatic state is highly relevant to the development of a wide range of orthopaedic diseases. The search for key regulatory factors associated with skeletal...
