The welding of metals at the nanoscale is likely to have an important role in the bottom-up
fabrication of electrical and mechanical nanodevices. Existing welding techniques use local …

In the present study, ZnO nanofibers (NFs) were synthesized by the simple electrospinning
technique for gas sensing studies. ZnO NFs were irradiated with a high-energy (1 MeV) …

Glasses are usually shaped through the viscous flow of a liquid before its solidification, as
practiced in glass blowing. At or near room temperature (RT), oxide glasses are known to be …

We employ the sub-atomically focused beam of a scanning transmission electron
microscope (STEM) to introduce and controllably manipulate individual dopant atoms in a …

Large-scale silver nanowire (AgNW) mesh films have received increasing attention as new
transparent conductive films used in various printed devices. However, there are two crucial …

Printed electronics are circuits that are additively manufactured using conductive pastes
composed of micro-/nanoconductive metal particles. Silver-based compounds are the most …
