The microstructure of FeCuB ribbons (∼20 μm thick) was modified to fabricate α''-FeN at a temperature as low as 160 °C. The ribbon samples were heat treated first at a temperature reaching 930 °C and then quenched down to room temperature. During the heat treatment, ribbon samples were oxidized, and hydrogen reduction was then conducted to remove the oxygen from the ribbon samples. The reduced ribbon samples had a porous structure, which improved the nitrogen diffusion efficiency and decreased the fabrication temperature of α''-FeN down to 160 °C. It was demonstrated that the techniques for microstructure control in this method including oxidation and reduction helped obtain the α''-FeN phase with high coercivity, thus manifesting this could be a promising technique for low-temperature nitridation on ribbons in general.

Determining the handedness of helical nanocoils using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has traditionally been challenging due to the deep depth of field and transmission nature of TEM, complementary techniques are considered necessary and have been practiced such as low angle rotary shadowing, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), or atomic force microscopy (AFM). These methods require customized sample preparation, making direct comparison difficult. Inspired by the need to identify the helical winding direction from TEM images alone, we developed a specialized tomography grid to capture stereo-pair images, enabling stereopsis.

Systemic profiling of the PCNSL tumor microenvironment (TME) was previously conducted through gene expression analysis. We investigated the prognostic impact of TME on survival to establish novel prognostic biomarkers in PCNSL patients.

BiSb alloys are promising cryogenic thermoelectric materials for generator and refrigeration devices at temperatures below 200 K. Herein, we prepared highly (00) textured BiSb ( = 0-0.05) ribbons by a melt-spinning technique and tuned its band structure with a Dirac electronic phase transition via Sb doping for improving the thermoelectric performance.

Controlling coherent light-matter interactions in semiconductor microcavities is at the heart of the next-generation solid-state polaritonic devices. Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites are potential materials for room-temperature polaritonics owing to their high exciton oscillator strengths and large exciton binding energies. Herein, we report on strong exciton-photon coupling in the micro-platelet and micro-ribbon shaped methylammonium lead bromide single crystals.

High-moisture (HM) extrusion is the dominant industrial process to create structured plant-based protein products that can be used for animal-free meat alternatives. Yet, the underlying mechanisms, such as phase separation, that govern structure formation in plant-protein extrudates, are still poorly understood. Current hypotheses require experimental data in order to be verified, but measurement techniques able to quantify phase-separated anisotropic protein extrudates are lacking, or have yet to be validated.
