AI Article Synopsis
- Low-dimensional materials, like certain types of carbon and boron, have special properties that can be changed by applying forces or electric fields.
- Researchers are studying how these materials can be adjusted and what differences exist between one-dimensional and two-dimensional shapes.
- There have been exciting new experiments showing how we can use these adjusted properties in technology, but there are still challenges to overcome.
Article Abstract
Unlabelled: Low-dimensional materials exhibit many exceptional properties and functionalities which can be efficiently tuned by externally applied force or fields. Here we review the current status of research on tuning the electronic and magnetic properties of low-dimensional carbon, boron nitride, metal-dichalcogenides, phosphorene nanomaterials by applied engineering strain, external electric field and interaction with substrates, etc, with particular focus on the progress of computational methods and studies. We highlight the similarities and differences of the property modulation among one- and two-dimensional nanomaterials. Recent breakthroughs in experimental demonstration of the tunable functionalities in typical nanostructures are also presented. Finally, prospective and challenges for applying the tunable properties into functional devices are discussed. 2016, 6:324-350. doi: 10.1002/wcms.1251 For further resources related to this article, please visit the WIREs website.

Large exciton binding energy in a bulk van der Waals magnet from quasi-1D electronic localization.
Nat Commun

Excitons, bound electron-hole pairs, influence the optical properties in strongly interacting solid-state systems and are typically most stable and pronounced in monolayer materials. Bulk systems with large exciton binding energies, on the other hand, are rare and the mechanisms driving their stability are still relatively unexplored. Here, we report an exceptionally large exciton binding energy in single crystals of the bulk van der Waals antiferromagnet CrSBr.

Rationale And Objectives: Individuals with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) can present with diverse renal and extra-renal manifestations. Large vessel anomalies, such as cerebral aneurysms, are potentially fatal extra-renal manifestations. However, limited research has been conducted on cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD).

Pancreatic cancer, often diagnosed at advanced stages, has poor survival rates. Effective screening aims to detect the disease early, improving outcomes. Current guidelines recommend screening high-risk groups, including those with a family history or genetic predispositions, using methods like endoscopic ultrasound and MRI.

Recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) is a complex syndrome that presents variably, with many cases remaining idiopathic after thorough diagnostics. For evaluating structural etiologies, endoscopic ultrasound and MR cholangiopancreatography are preferred over endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) given their more favorable risk profile and sensitivity. The diagnostic work-up remains paramount since treatment should focus on addressing underlying causes such as early cholecystectomy for gallstone pancreatitis.
