We fabricate two-layer (TL) silicon nanowires (NW) field-effect transistors (FETs) with a liquid gate. The NW devices show advanced characteristics, which reflect reliable single-electron phenomena. A strong modulation effect of channel conductivity with effectively tuned parameters is revealed. The effect opens up prospects for applications in several research fields including bioelectronics and sensing applications. Our results shed light on the nature of single trap dynamics which parameters can be fine-tuned to enhance the sensitivity of liquid-gated TL silicon nanowire FETs.

Due to their good wearability, smart fabrics have gradually developed into one of the important components of multifunctional flexible electronics. Nevertheless, function integration is typically accomplished through the intricate stacking of diverse modules, which inevitably compromises comfort and elevates processing complexities. The integration of these discrete functional modules into a unified design for smart fabrics represents a superior solution.

The prompt and accurate point-of-care test (POCT) for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in infected persons or virus-containing environmental samples is of great importance. The present work reports a highly integrated electrochemiluminescence/electrochemical (ECL/EC) sensor for determination of SARS-CoV-2 pseudoviruses, in which bio-recognition element (SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody), bifunctional probe (tris (2,2'-bipyridyl) ruthenium (Ru(bpy))), and amplification material (gold nanoparticles (Au NPs)) are designed into bipolar silica nanochannel array (bp-SNA). bp-SNA consisting of homogeneous two-layer mesoporous silica films bears inner silanol groups and outer amino groups, generating a solid "electrostatic nanocage" for stable confinement of Ru(bpy) and Au NPs inside the nanochannels and further providing functional sites for covalent modification of SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody.

Asphaltenes can cause operational challenges in petroleum production facilities and adversely affect production by adsorption on mineral surfaces and alteration of the oil wettability of reservoirs. Therefore, understanding asphaltene adsorption mechanisms and their effects is crucial to improving the efficiency of oil production and reducing costs. In this study, we focus on understanding the impact of asphaltene concentration and the depositing environment of asphaltene adsorption on solid surfaces using the quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) technique.
