Several candidate alloys have been proposed as alternative solders to hightemperature
high-lead solders. None of them, however, can fulfill all the requirements to replace the current …

Problems associated with large-scale pattern growth of graphene constitute one of the main
obstacles to using this material in device applications 1 . Recently, macroscopic-scale …

In monolayer graphene, substitutional doping during growth can be used to alter its
electronic properties. We used scanning tunneling microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, x-ray …

Robust methods to tune the unique electronic properties of graphene by chemical modification
are in great demand due to the potential of the two dimensional material to impact a …

We demonstrate high-performance, flexible, transparent heaters based on large-scale graphene
films synthesized by chemical vapor deposition on Cu foils. After multiple transfers and …

It is well known that a lens-based far-field optical microscope cannot resolve two objects
beyond Abbe’s diffraction limit. Recently, it has been demonstrated that this limit can be …

The effects of the addition of Bi to Sn–Zn near eutectic alloy and cooling rate on the thermal
and mechanical properties were investigated. With the addition of up to 8 mass% Bi to Sn–8 …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) provide not only cell sources for connective tissues but also
the control of hematopoiesis and immune response. A multitude of cytokines and growth …

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes were synthesized by electric arc discharge method in helium
ambient with the pressure of 400 Torr and then purified by thermal annealing. During the …

Large-scale integration of vanadium dioxide (VO 2 ) on mechanically flexible substrates is
critical to the realization of flexible smart window films that can respond to environmental …
