My mother began to lose her hearing while I was away at college. I would return home to
share what I'd learned, and she would lean in to hear. Soon it became difficult for her to hold …

The thermally dewetted metal nano-islands have been actively investigated as cost-effective
SERS-active substrates with a large area, good reproducibility and repeatability via simple …

Plasmonic biosensors have demonstrated superior performance in detecting various
biomolecules with high sensitivity through simple assays. Scaled‐up, reproducible chip …

Perovskite-organic tandem solar cells (PO-TSCs) hold substantial potential to surpass the
theoretical efficiency limits of single-junction solar cells. However, their performance is …

When Sean James, who works on data-center technology for Microsoft, suggested that the
company put server farms entirely underwater, his colleagues were a bit dubious. But for …

Robotic cars are great at monitoring other cars, and they're getting better at noticing
pedestrians, squirrels, and birds. The main challenge, though, is posed by the lightest …

The stability of supported metal nanoparticles determines the activity and lifetime of
heterogeneous catalysts. Catalysts can destabilize through several thermodynamic and …

Hydration plays an important role in the diffusion and sieving of ions within nanochannels.
However, it is hard to quantitatively analyze the contribution of hydration to the diffusion …

A structured SERS substrate with high uniformity and sensitivity was fabricated orderly by
hydrophilizing the monocrystalline silicon substrate, self-assembling a layer of dense …

Let's say you are the program manager of a very large, complex system. Perhaps it's an
aircraft, or a building, or a communications network. Your system is valued at over US $500 …
