Two-dimensional (2D) non-layered materials in many aspects differ from their layered counterparts, and the exploration of their physical properties has produced many intriguing findings. However, due to challenges in applying existing experimental techniques to such nanoscale samples, their thermal properties have remained largely uncharacterized, hindering further exploration and device application using this promising material system. Here, we demonstrate an experimental study of thermal conduction in -InS, a typical non-layered 2D material, using a resonant nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) platform.

However, the current research on this topic lacks accurate quantification, hindering further understanding of the underlying physical processes and its applications. In this work, we demonstrate quantitative regulation of e-p coupling, by pressure engineering andspectroscopy.

Mongolia has the highest reported incidence and mortality of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the world, while the incidence of HCC is relatively low in the United States, but differences in their molecular characteristics remain largely elusive. Here we report differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in Mongolian hepatocellular carcinoma and in Caucasian HCC and their intersection DEGs, as well as their corresponding signaling pathways in Mongolian and Caucasian hepatocellular carcinoma patients based on the transcriptome sequences from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database.

In contrast to the electrical, optical, optoelectrical, and thermal anisotropies that are extensively studied in ReS , experimental characterization of mechanical properties has largely remained elusive. Here, it is demonstrated that the dynamic response in ReS nanomechanical resonators can be leveraged to unambiguously resolve such disputes.
