Wafer-Scale Synthesis of 2D Materials by an Amorphous Phase-Mediated Crystallization Approach.

The interest in the wafer-scale growth of two-dimensional (2D) materials, including transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), has been rising for transitioning from lab-scale devices to commercial-scale systems. Among various synthesis techniques, physical vapor deposition, such as pulsed laser deposition (PLD), has shown promise for the wafer-scale growth of 2D materials. However, due to the high volatility of chalcogen atoms (e.

Effects of TiS on Inhibiting Biofilm Formation and Its Compatibility with Human Gingival Fibroblasts in Titanium Implants.

Titanium is widely used in medical devices, such as dental and orthopedic implants, due to its excellent mechanical properties, low toxicity, and biocompatibility. However, the titanium surface has the risk of microbial biofilm formation, which results in infections from species such as (). This kind of biofilm prevents antifungal therapy and complicates the treatment of infectious diseases associated with implanted devices.

Two-Dimensional-Material-Based Field-Effect Transistor Biosensor for Detecting COVID-19 Virus (SARS-CoV-2).

The emergence of rapidly expanding infectious diseases such as coronavirus (COVID-19) demands effective biosensors that can promptly detect and recognize the pathogens. Field-effect transistors based on semiconducting two-dimensional (2D) materials (2D-FETs) have been identified as potential candidates for rapid and label-free sensing applications. This is because any perturbation of such atomically thin 2D channels can significantly impact their electronic transport properties.

Rapid laser nanomanufacturing and direct patterning of 2D materials on flexible substrates-2DFlex.

Direct synthesis, large-scale integration, and patterning of two-dimensional (2D) quantum materials (e.g. MoS, WSe) on flexible and transparent substrates are of high interest for flexible and conformal device applications.

Phase-Selective and Localized TiO Coating on Additive and Wrought Titanium by a Direct Laser Surface Modification Approach.

Titanium has been the material of interest in biological implant applications due to its unique mechanical properties and biocompatibility. Their design is now growing rapidly due to the advent of additive manufacturing technology that enables the fabrication of complex and patient-customized parts. Titanium dioxides (TiO) coatings with different phases (e.
