Article Synopsis
- Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) can exist in two phases: the stable 2H phase and the metastable 1T phase, and manipulating these phases is key for improving their use in optoelectronic devices.
- This study successfully synthesizes large-area monolayered 2H-MoS and mixed-phase 1T/2H-MoS using a catalyst-free chemical vapor deposition method by controlling the growth temperature.
- The mixed-phase devices demonstrate significantly improved performance, with a 55-fold increase in responsivity and a 10-fold increase in detectivity compared to pure 2H-MoS, due to self-doping effects from the metallic 1T phase boosting carrier
The overall prevalence of opiate use has been increasing, currently affecting approximately 0.6% of the global population and resulting in a significant proportion of infants being born with prenatal opioid exposure. Animal and human models of prenatal opioid exposure demonstrate detrimental effects on brain anatomy as well as neurodevelopment.

We assessed pediatric neurodevelopmental outcomes in children born to mothers with laboratory-confirmed SARS CoV-2 infection during pregnancy. Neurodevelopmental outcomes of in-utero exposed children were compared to that of pre-pandemic control children in Los Angeles (LA), CA, USA and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
