Resistance switching (RS) offers promising applications in a variety of areas. In particular, silicon oxide (SiO) under RS can serve as electron sources in new types of miniature vacuum electron tubes. In this work, planar nanoscale vacuum channel transistors (NVCTs) with graphene electrodes and RS SiOelectron sources were developed.

Hence, it is crucial to develop surface wavefront shaping techniques, which is urgent in modern information technologies. In this paper, a new scheme is proposed to realize SW excitation and spin-decoupled wavefront shaping with an ultracompact planar meta-device working in the THz range.

Methods: A retrospective, interventional study was conducted from January 2015 to February 2020 involving patients with PCME after uneventful cataract surgery.
We report a tunneling diode enabling efficient and dense electron emission from SiO with low poisoning sensitivity. Benefiting from the shallow SiO channel exposed to vacuum and the low electron affinity of SiO (0.9 eV), hot electrons tunneling into the SiO channel from the cathode of the diode are efficiently emitted into vacuum with much less restriction in both space and energy than those in previous tunneling electron sources.

Methods: Conbercept 0.5 mg/0.
Effective treatment of brain metastases is hindered by the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the rapid development of resistance to drug therapy. Moreover, the clinical application of general formulations is hampered by biological barriers and biological elimination. To tackle this challenge, we report a feasible approach for the assembly of polymer-covalent organic framework (COF) nanocomposites into 150 nm thin platelets as a drug delivery vehicle for enhanced retention in brain tumours.
