Planar hypercoordinate compounds are fascinating but challenging to be realized. The
difficulty in stabilizing and fabricating such compounds prevent us from in‐deep …

It is imperative to remove NO from the exhausted gas, and an electrochemical NH3
synthesis via N2 reduction still suffers from low activity and selectivity. It is of interest that …

Following the prediction given by first-principles simulations [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 137, 2757
(2015)], a Dirac nodal-line Cu2Si monolayer has been successfully synthesized on a Cu …

Via first-principles computational modeling and calculations, we propose a new class of two-
dimensional (2D) atomically thin crystals that contain metal-C 3 (MC 3) moieties periodically …

The atomic force microscope tip-based mechanical machining technique has been used to
fabricate complex micro-structures successfully. However, the machining scope and depth …

With the ongoing effort in proposing and realizing functional two-dimensional (2D) materials,
we predict by first-principles calculations a family of 2D metal-carbon (M–C) crystals …

The material removal state, which is closely related to machining quality, is an important
factor in any machining process. During the machining using a non-rotational symmetric …

Dirac nodal line (DNL) semimetals are a novel class of topological materials in which the
valence and conduction bands touch along lines in the reciprocal space, with linear …

The atomic force microscope (AFM) has been widely used for fabricating the nanoscale
oxide ribbons on various materials surface. Herein, we first conducted local anodic oxidation …

Driving topological nontrivial materials into superconductors is promising to realizing
topological superconductors which lay the foundation towards fault-tolerant quantum …
