Step-necking growth of silicon nanowire channels for high performance field effect transistors.

Nat Commun

January 2025

School of Electronics Science and Engineering/National Laboratory of Solid-State Microstructures, Nanjing University, Nanjing, China.

Ultrathin silicon nanowires (diameter <30 nm) with strong electrostatic control are ideal quasi-1D channel materials for high-performance field effect transistors, while a short channel is desirable to enhance driving current. Typically, the patterning of such delicate channels relies on high-precision lithography, which is not applicable for large area electronics. In this work, we demonstrate that ultrathin and short silicon nanowires channels can be created through a local-curvature-modulated catalytic growth, where a planar silicon nanowires is directed to jump over a crossing step.

Controllable synthesis of nonlayered high-κ MnO single-crystal thin films for 2D electronics.

Nat Commun

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Functional Crystals and Devices, Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Fuzhou, Fujian, 350002, China.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have been identified as promising candidates for future electronic devices. However, high dielectric constant (κ) materials, which can be integrated with 2D semiconductors, are still rare. Here, we report a hydrate-assisted thinning chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique to grow manganese oxide (MnO) single crystal nanosheets, enabled by a strategy to minimize the substrate lattice mismatch and control the growth kinetics.

The Effect of Swing on Stress and Comfort in Premature Newborns: A Randomised Controlled Trial.

J Paediatr Child Health

January 2025

Department of Midwifery, Institute of Postgraduate Education, KTO Karatay University, Konya, Turkey.

Objectives: The study was conducted to investigate the effect of swing on stress and comfort in premature newborns who could not be reunited with their mothers.

Methods: The study was conducted in a randomised controlled experimental design. The intervention group included newborns who received swing intervention (n = 64) and the control group included newborns who did not receive swing intervention (n = 64).

Smooth braking control of excavator hydraulic load based on command reshaping.

ISA Trans

January 2025

School of Mechanical Engineering, Dongguan University of Technology, Dongguan 523015, China; School of Mechanical Engineering, Yanshan University, Qinhuangdao 066004, China. Electronic address:

Excavators, a type of human-operated construction machinery, suffer from poor hydraulic load braking stability, which seriously affects operator comfort. To address this challenge, this study investigates load braking laws through model analysis and designs an open-loop control algorithm called command reshaping, which can prolong the small-opening time of the main valve by segmentally adjusting the joystick command during load braking and then actively adjusting the key parameters reflecting the system's kinetic-potential energy state, thereby suppressing braking oscillations. The experimental results based on a 1.

Purpose: A relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD) is a characteristic clinical sign of optic neuritis (ON). Here, we systematically evaluated ultrasound pupillometry (UP) for the detection of an RAPD in patients with ON, including a comparison with infrared video pupillometry (IVP), the gold standard for objective pupillometry.

Materials And Methods: We enrolled 40 patients with acute (n = 9) or past (n = 31) ON (ON+), 31 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) without prior ON, and 50 healthy controls (HC) in a cross-sectional observational study.
