A highly flexible, transparent, and conductive polyimide (PI) hybrid film with good thermal stability was fabricated by embedding reduced graphene oxide (rGO) coated silver nanowire (AgNW) into 4,4'-(hexa fluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride(6FDA)/2,2'-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzidine (TFDB) poly(amic acid) using a spray coating method, followed by thermal imidization. The PI/AgNW/rGO conductive film exhibited good thermal stability up to 553 °C, low sheet resistance (37 Ω/sq), high optical transparency (81%), and high hydrophobic surface (water contact angle, 89°). The rGO protected the surface of AgNW, which is weak to oxidation in air condition, and thus effectively reduced the surface resistance of the PI hybrid film. The hybrid film may offer a good potential for application as flexible transparent conducting electrodes.

The monolithic fabrication of passive, nonlinear, and active functionalities on a single chip is highly desired in the wake of the development and commercialization of integrated photonic platforms. However, the co-integration of diverse functionalities has been challenging as each platform is optimized for specific applications, typically requiring different structures and fabrication flows. In this article, we report on a monolithic and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor CMOS-compatible hybrid wafer-scale photonics platform that is suitable for linear, nonlinear, and active photonics based on moderate confinement 0.

In this study, we developed terahertz (THz) metamaterial devices with attenuated total reflection (ATR) geometries for biosensing applications. This was achieved by transferring the metamaterial patterns fabricated on a polyimide film to a prism-top surface. We characterized the resonance characteristics of metasurfaces for different THz wave polarizations and gap structure orientations in the metamaterials.

Hybrid magnonics has attracted extensive attention for its potential applications in quantum information processing, especially following the discovery of strong coupling in magnon-magnon hybrid systems. In this paper, we studied the coupling phenomena between the left-handed (LH) and right-handed (RH) magnon modes in synthetic antiferromagnets (SAFs) with a tilted perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA). By tilting the PMA at a certain angle from the film normal, we achieved strong magnon-magnon coupling without the need for an external magnetic field.

The protection of steel based on microbial biomineralization has emerged as a novel and eco-friendly strategy for corrosion control. However, the molecular basis of the biomineralization process in mineralization bacteria remains largely unexplored. We previously reported that EPS+ strain provides protection against steel corrosion by forming a hybrid biomineralization film.

Anode-free aqueous zinc metal batteries (AZMBs) offer significant potential for energy storage due to their low cost and environmental benefits. TiCT MXene provides several advantages over traditional metallic current collectors like Cu and Ti, including better Zn plating affinity, lightweight, and flexibility. However, self-freestanding MXene current collectors in AZMBs remain underexplored, likely due to challenges with Zn deposition reversibility.
