Equal-Bilayer MoSe Grown by a Nucleation-Etching Strategy with High Carrier Mobility.

Bilayer transition metal chalcogenides (TMDs) have gradually attracted a great deal of attention due to the higher density of states and carrier mobility than monolayer TMDs. Controlling the uniformity of the layer number is very crucial because it will intensively influence the physical properties. However, it is difficult to synthesize equal-bilayer (EB) TMDs with two identical layers via a normal layer-by-layer strategy.

Branched-chain amino acids alleviate NAFLD via inhibiting de novo lipogenesis and activating fatty acid β-oxidation in laying hens.

The adverse metabolic impacts of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) have been elucidated are mediated by isoleucine and valine. Dietary restriction of isoleucine promotes metabolic health and increases lifespan. However, a high protein diet enriched in BCAA is presently the most useful therapeutic strategy for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), yet, its underlying mechanism remains largely unknown.

Enhanced Performance of Self-Powered GaO/ZnO:V Heterojunction Solar-Blind Ultraviolet Photodetectors by Coupling Ferroelectricity and Piezoelectricity.

Ferroelectric materials have aroused increasing interest in the field of self-powered ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors (PDs) for their switchable spontaneous polarization.

TiCT MXene- and Sulfuric Acid-Treated Double-Network Hydrogel with Ultralow Conductive Filler Content for Stretchable Electromagnetic Interference Shielding.

Hydrogels are emerging as stretchable electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials because of their tissue-like mechanical properties and water-rich porous cellular structures. However, achieving high-performance hydrogel shields remains a challenge because enhancing conductivity often results in a compromise in deformation adoptability. This work proposes a treatment strategy involving sulfuric acid/titanium carbide MXene, which can simultaneously enhance the conductivity and stretchability of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) double-network hydrogels.
