Metal oxide TFT fabrication based on a solution-processing method is considered a promising alternative to conventional vacuum processing and has a number of advantages such as low cost, large-area fabrication, and process simplicity. A simple and reliable, direct patterning method for obtaining a carbon-free aqueous metal oxide film is presented herein. Patterning, which is achieved by selective photoreaction of water molecules under ultraviolet irradiation and by a safe, environment-friendly chemical etching process using a non-toxic organic acid, is followed by an annealing process at a temperature of 350 °C to obtain carbon-free metal oxide TFTs. In-Ga-Zn oxide (IGZO), TFTs on SiO dielectrics that were fabricated with a direct patterning method exhibited an average mobility of 4.3 cm/V·s with good uniformity, which is comparable to TFTs formed by conventional photolithography. The TFTs exhibited stable performance with small (within 0.5 V) shifts in switch-on voltage under positive and negative bias stress. Fabrication of flexible IGZO TFTs by direct patterning was also achieved.

Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) is a prevalent technique in materials characterization. While the analysis of PXRD often requires extensive human manual intervention, and most automated method only achieved at coarse-grained level. The more difficult and important task of fine-grained crystal structure prediction from PXRD remains unaddressed.

Protein glycosylation, which involves the addition of carbohydrate chains to amino acid side chains, imparts essential properties to proteins, offering immense potential in synthetic biology applications. Despite its importance, natural glycosylation pathways present several limitations, highlighting the need for new tools to better understand glycan structures, recognition, metabolism, and biosynthesis, and to facilitate the production of biologically relevant glycoproteins. The field of bacterial glycoengineering has gained significant attention due to the ongoing discovery and study of bacterial glycosylation systems.
