The two-dimensional/three-dimensional van der Waals heterostructures provide novel optoelectronic properties for the next-generation of information devices. Herein, MoS/Ge heterojunction avalanche photodetectors are readily obtained. The device with an Ag electrode at MoS side exhibits more stable rectification characteristics than that with an Au electrode. The rectification radio greater than 10 and a significant avalanche breakdown are observed in the device. The responsivity of 170 and 4 A/W and the maximum gain of 320 and 13 are obtained under 532 and 1550 nm illumination, respectively. Such photoelectric properties are attributed to the carrier multiplication at a Ge/MoS junction due to an avalanche breakdown. The mechanism is confirmed by the Sentaurus TCAD-simulated I-V characteristics.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores how the reliability of silicon-germanium (SiGe) heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) is affected by dc stress, particularly in terms of basic analog amplifier performance.
- Three configurations (active bias, diode connection, and off state) were tested under stress for up to 3000 seconds to measure how stress impacts key device parameters like current gain, transconductance, and resistance.
- Simulation of single-stage analog amplifiers revealed that while transimpedance gain decreases and bandwidth changes with stress, the voltage amplifier showed minimal variation in performance.

Article Synopsis
- - The rapid advancement of single-cell transcriptomic technology has generated a large amount of data on embryonic development and in vitro pluripotent stem cell models, making it challenging to define specific cell types or compare them across different systems.
- - Researchers implemented deep learning tools to integrate and classify datasets, enabling the identification of cell types, lineages, and states in both mouse and human embryos, which enhances the understanding of pluripotency and lineage specification.
- - By utilizing publicly available data and testing various deep learning strategies, the study developed a model that classifies cell types in a non-biased manner and identifies key genes for lineages and states, demonstrating its potential as a resource for studying early embryogenesis in stem cell research.
This study presents an experimental demonstration of laser-induced breakdown in argon, employing a free-electron laser with a wavelength of 10 μm and a repetition rate of 2.856 GHz. Despite the fluence of individual laser pulses being an order of magnitude smaller than the breakdown threshold, cascade ionization developed in the pulse train, leading to breakdown.

High-performance insulating materials are essential for developing lightweight, compact, and green offshore wind power equipment. It has been shown that nanoporous structures can limit the development of electron avalanche, leading to a significant increase in the breakdown electric strength of dielectrics. Hence, we fabricated a polysiloxane nanoporous biopolymer insulating material (PNBIM) with the nanoporous structure that presents exceptionally high electrically insulating properties.

Human land-use intensification threatens arthropod (for example, insect and spider) biodiversity across aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Insects and spiders play critical roles in ecosystems by accumulating and synthesizing organic nutrients such as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). However, links between biodiversity and nutrient content of insect and spider communities have yet to be quantified.
