Lateral Electronic Junction of a Single Ultrathin Silicon Induced by Interfacial Dipole of Self-Assembled Monolayer.

Interface engineering is pivotal for enhancing the performance and stability of devices with layered structures, including solar cells, electronic devices, and electrochemical systems. Incorporating the interfacial dipole between the bulk layers effectively modulates the energy level difference at the interface and does not significantly influence adjacent layers overall. However, interfaces can drastically affect adjoining layers in ultrathin devices, which are essential for next-generation electronics with high integrity, excellent performance, and low power consumption.

Efficient Ionovoltaic Energy Harvesting via Water-Induced p-n Junction in Reduced Graphene Oxide.

Water motion-induced energy harvesting has emerged as a prominent means of facilitating renewable electricity from the interaction between nanostructured materials and water over the past decade. Despite the growing interest, comprehension of the intricate solid-liquid interfacial phenomena related to solid state physics remains elusive and serves as a hindrance to enhancing energy harvesting efficiency up to the practical level. Herein, the study introduces the energy harvester by utilizing inversion on the majority charge carrier in graphene materials upon interaction with water molecules.

Imaging guided adrenalectomy with Indocyanine green fluorescence in a dog with a pheochromocytoma.

Importance: This case report presents the successful surgical removal of a pheochromocytoma in a dog using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging.

Case Presentation: A 10-year-old, 6.87 kg, spayed female poodle was referred for an abdominal mass and eight episodes of vomiting.

Recurrent skin opening induced by chronic sternal osteomyelitis caused by a bite wound in a cat: A case report.

Background: Chronic sternal osteomyelitis is a rare condition in felines, with limited reported cases to date.

Objectives: We report the case of a 2-year-old castrated male, domestic shorthair cat, weighing 4.68 kg, that presented with skin openings every 3-4 months, despite skin debridement and reconstruction.

Deep-Red-Fluorescent Zinc Probe with a Membrane-Targeting Cholesterol Unit.

Organelle-targeting fluorescence probes are valuable because they can provide spatiotemporal information about the trafficking of analytes of interest. The spatiotemporal resolution can be improved by using low-energy emission signals because they are barely contaminated by autofluorescence noises. In this study, we designed and synthesized a deep-red-fluorescent zinc probe (JJ) with a membrane-targeting cholesterol unit.

Monocycloplatinated Solvento Complex Displays Turn-on Ratiometric Phosphorescence Responses to Histamine.

The study of biological histamine (HA) requires probes capable of ratiometric photoluminescence detection of HA. We discovered that a monocycloplatinated complex having two solvento ligands ([Pt(2-(2-naphthyl)quinolinate)(NCCH)]ClO) could produce ratiometric phosphorescence responses to HA in aerated aqueous solutions buffered to pH 7.4.
