Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are ideal systems for two-dimensional (2D) optoelectronic applications owing to their strong light-matter interaction and various band gap energies. New techniques to modify the crystallographic phase of TMDs have recently been discovered, allowing the creation of lateral heterostructures and the design of all-2D circuitry. Thus, far, the potential benefits of phase-engineered TMD devices for optoelectronic applications are still largely unexplored.

Listeria monocytogenes, a contaminant of raw milk, includes hypervirulent clonal complexes (CC) like CC1, CC4, and CC6, highly overrepresented in dairy products when compared to other food types. Whether their higher prevalence in dairy products is the consequence of a growth advantage in this food remains unknown. We examined growth kinetics of five L.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the vaginal microbiota of nulliparous ewes at different stages of their reproductive cycle to understand its diversity, composition, and changes, especially focusing on how these factors relate to infections and dysbiosis.
  • - Important findings include a decrease in microbiota biodiversity during pregnancy, with significant shifts in certain bacterial populations, highlighting differences between pregnant and non-pregnant ewes in terms of bacterial abundance.
  • - Additionally, the analysis of ram preputial samples revealed similar microbial phyla to those found in the ewes' vaginal samples, but no major changes were noted in the rams' microbiota before and after mating.
