A nanoscale field emission vacuum channel gated diode structure is proposed and a tungsten cathode with an umbrella-like geometry and sharp vertical edge is fabricated. The edge of the suspended cathode becomes the field emission surface. Unlike in the traditional transistor with the gate typically located between the source and the drain, the bottom silicon plate becomes the gate here and the anode terminal is located between the umbrella cathode and the gate. The fabricated devices show excellent diode characteristics and the gated diode structure is attractive for extremely low gate leakage.

Prefabricated construction involves manufacturing components in a factory and then transporting them to a construction site for assembly, yielding resource savings and improved efficiency. However, the large size and weight of prefabricated components, along with strict delivery requirements, introduce logistical challenges, such as increased carbon emissions during transport and site congestion. This study addresses the dual-objective vehicle scheduling problem for prefabricated components.

The intersection of electromagnetic radiation and neuronal communication, focusing on the potential role of biophoton emission in brain function and neurodegenerative diseases is an emerging research area. Traditionally, it is believed that neurons encode and communicate information via electrochemical impulses, generating electromagnetic fields detectable by EEG and MEG. Recent discoveries indicate that neurons may also emit biophotons, suggesting an additional communication channel alongside the regular synaptic interactions.

Understanding of enhanced nitrate in fine particles at agricultural sites in summer with high ammonia level.

Environ Pollut

Department of Environmental Engineering, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, 41566, Republic of Korea. Electronic address:

Nitrate is one of the major constituents of fine particles and has not been effectively alleviated in Northeast Asia. Field measurements of various gases and the chemical composition of fine particles were conducted at two agricultural sites (cropland and livestock) in ammonia-rich environments to understand the effect of ammonia on nitric acid-nitrate partitioning using a thermodynamic model and to suggest a possible strategy to control total nitrate (i.e.

A novel metal-organic framework (MOF), (Cu-S)MOF, with a copper-sulfur planar structure was applied to photocatalytic H production application. (Cu-S)MOF@ZnS nanocomposite was synthesized using a microwave-assisted hydrothermal approach. The formation of (Cu-S)MOF and wurtzite ZnS in the composite nanoparticles was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM).
