We report here a structurally perfect kagomé lattice {[Cu(bpy)](SiF)(melamine)} (1), where bpy is 4,4'-bipyridine and [SiF] is a hexafluorosilicate anion. In comparison to general 1D linear, 2D layered and 3D cubic metal-organic frameworks, by using Cu nodes and bpy ligands, a perfect kagomé lattice was synthesized by introducing symmetrical melamine molecules. Magnetic susceptibility and low-temperature heat capacity measurements indicated weak antiferromagnetic interactions between the spins and no long-range magnetic ordering to 0.7 K. Using symmetrical melamine molecules can be considered as a challenging synthetic strategy to afford new topological materials.

Optical metasurfaces have found widespread applications in the field of optoelectronic devices. However, achieving dynamic and flexible control over metasurface functionalities, while also developing simplified fabrication methods for metasurfaces, continues to pose a significant challenge. Here, the study introduces a PCM-only metasurface that exclusively consists of voxel units crafted from different phases of phase-change materials.

Background: The Knee Outcome Survey - Activities of Daily Living Scale (KOS-ADLS) is a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) developed to assess symptoms and functional limitations in patients with various knee disorders. The aim of this study was to translate and culturally adapt the KOS-ADLS to Danish and to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Danish version (KOS-ADLS-DK) in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.

Methods: The KOS-ADLS was translated and culturally adapted to Danish in accordance with recommended guidelines.

Van der Waals electrode integration is a promising strategy to create nearly perfect interfaces between metals and 2D materials, with advantages such as eliminating Fermi-level pinning and reducing contact resistance. However, the lack of a simple, generalizable pick-and-place transfer technology has greatly hampered the wide use of this technique. We demonstrate the pick-and-place transfer of prefabricated electrodes from reusable polished hydrogenated diamond substrates without the use of any sacrificial layers due to the inherent low-energy and dangling-bond-free nature of the hydrogenated diamond surface.
