Despite significant progress in the fabrication and application of semiconductor materials for optical emitters and sensors, few materials can cover the cyan-gap between 450 and 500 nm. We here introduce a robust and facile method to deposit amorphous SbS films with a bandgap of 2.8 eV. By exploiting the tunable functionality of graphene, a two-dimensional material, efficient deposition from a chemical was achieved. Ozone-generated defects in the graphene were shown to be required to enhance the morphology and quality of the material and comprehensive characterization of the seed layer and the SbS film were applied to design an optimal deposition process. The resulting material exhibits efficient carrier transport and high photodetector performance as evidenced by unprecedented responsivity and detectivity in semiconductor/graphene/glass vertical heterostructures.

Multifunctionality, processivity, and thermostability are critical for the cost-effective enzymatic saccharification of non-food plant biomass polymers such as β-glucans, celluloses, and xylans to generate biofuels and other valuable products. We present molecular insights into a processive multifunctional endo-1,3-1,4-β-d-glucanase (Tt_End5A) from the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermogutta terrifontis. Tt_End5A demonstrated activities against a broad spectrum of β-polysaccharides, including barley glucan, lichenan, carboxymethyl cellulose, regenerated amorphous cellulose (RAC), Avicel, xylan, laminarin, mannan, curdlan, xanthan, and various chromogenic substrates at pH 7 and temperatures ranging from 70 to 80°C.

In our previous research, the significant difference of physiochemistry properties for underutilized starches was showed between Chinese seedless breadfruit species and the other species. Based on this, the multiscale structure and digestion kinetics of Chinese seedless breadfruit of Spice and Beverage Research Institute species (SBS) and Xinglong species (XBS) was further researched. The SBS exhibited higher α-1,6 glycosylic bond content, free side-chain groups content, double-helix content, homogeneity, molecular weight, and V-type polymorphism, and fewer amorphous content, blocklet sizes, and a smaller semi-crystalline lamella thickness than XBS.

Crystalline titanium dioxide (TiO) (anatase and rutile) possesses a higher refractive index than amorphous TiO and near-zero absorption in the visible region, making them an ideal material for visible metasurfaces. However, fabrication limitations hinder their implementation into flat optics. In this work, a wafer-scale manufacturing platform is proposed for crystalline TiO metasurfaces.

Antimony trisulfide (SbS) is an emerging semiconductor with a high absorption coefficient and a bandgap in the visible range. This makes it a promising material for various electronic and optoelectronic applications. However, one of the main challenges is still the synthesis of the material, as it is usually obtained either as a nanomaterial in its amorphous form with inferior optical properties or in crystalline rod-like structures in the micrometer or sub-micrometer range, which leads to application-related difficulties such as clogging in inkjet printing or spraying processes or highly porous layers in film applications.

Introduction Incorporation of remineralizing agents with fluoride-releasing bracket adhesives may prevent the development of white spot lesions (WSL) or reverse the established WSL in patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment. We aimed to find out how effectively casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) and fluoride varnish (FV) can remineralize teeth when mixed with fluoride-releasing orthodontic adhesive. Materials and methods We randomly assigned a total of 60 premolar teeth, therapeutically extracted for orthodontic purposes, into two equal groups.
