Unidirectional growth of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) was achieved using the patterned Co-Mo salt catalyst on the r-plane sapphire substrate. This is in marked contrast with the SWNTs grown on an a-plane sapphire and ST-cut quartz, on which the SWNTs grew bidirectionally. This new growth mode is not dependent on the gas flow and attributed to the asymmetric surface atomic arrangement of the sapphire surface.

The epitaxial growth of molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) on sapphire substrates enables the formation of single-crystalline monolayer MoS₂ with exceptional material properties on a wafer scale. Despite this achievement, the underlying growth mechanisms remain a subject of debate. The epitaxial interface is critical for understanding these mechanisms, yet its exact atomic configuration has previously been unclear.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common cardiac arrhythmia, is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Inflammation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of AF, but the causal relationship between specific inflammatory proteins and AF risk is not well established. This study aims to clarify this relationship using a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian Randomization (TSMR) approach.

Background: Growth rods are the gold standard for treating early-onset scoliosis (EOS). However, current treatments with growth rods do not optimize spinal growth in EOS patients, and frequent distraction surgeries significantly increase complications, imposing considerable economic and psychological burdens on patients. An improved growth rod is urgently required to address the need for dynamic growth and external regulation.

Background: Hypertrophic scar (HS) is acknowledged as a pathological fibro-proliferative disease of the dermis, resulting from excessive connective tissue growth. HS significantly impacts patient quality of life due to both social and functional issues. Despite various treatments, therapeutic effectiveness remains limited, necessitating further exploration of underlying factors and mechanisms.

This study examines the impact of financial inclusion (FI) and institutional quality (INSQ) on carbon dioxide (CO) emissions in South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) economies, using data from 2004 to 2022. The hypotheses were tested using a generalized method of moments (GMM) approach. Beside, a robust moment method quantile regression (MM-QR) static model and Granger causality tests were employed to validate the results.
