Article Abstract
Domain orientation modulation and controlled doping of two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are two pivotal tasks for synthesizing wafer-scale single crystals and boosting device performances. However, realizing two such targets and uncovering internal physical mechanisms remain daunting challenges. We develop an accurate Fe doping strategy, which enables domain orientation control and electron mobility improvement of monolayer MoS. By tuning of the Fe dopant dosages, parallel steps with different heights are formed, which induce edge-nucleation of unidirectionally aligned monolayer MoS. In parallel, Fe doping induces the down shift of the conduction band minimum of monolayer MoS and matches well with the work function of an electrode, which reduces Schottky barrier height and delivers ultralow contact resistance (561 Ω μm) and excellent electron mobility (37.5 cm V s). The modulation mechanism is clarified by combining theory calculations and electronic structure characterizations. This work hereby provides a new paradigm for synthesizing wafer-scale 2D TMDC single crystals and constructing high-performance devices.

Wheat is a globally cultivated cereal crop with substantial protein content present in its seeds. This research aimed to develop robust methods for predicting seed protein concentration in wheat seeds using bench-top hyperspectral imaging in the visible, near-infrared (VNIR), and shortwave infrared (SWIR) regions. To fully utilize the spectral and texture features of the full VNIR and SWIR spectral domains, a computer-vision-aided image co-registration methodology was implemented to seamlessly align the VNIR and SWIR bands.

Considering our previous experience in the design of new cholinesterase inhibitors, especially resveratrol analogs, in this research, the basic stilbene skeleton was used as a structural unit for new carbamates designed as potentially highly selective butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibitors with excellent absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity ADMET properties. The inhibitory activity of newly prepared carbamates - was tested toward the enzymes acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and BChE. In the tested group of compounds, the leading inhibitors were and , which achieved excellent selective inhibitory activity for BChE with IC values of 0.

Melatonin is synthesized in multiple tissues and organs of pigs, and existing studies have shown the presence of the melatonin-synthesizing enzyme ASMT protein. However, the genomic information for the gene has been lacking. The aim of this study was to locate the genomic information of the gene in pigs using comparative genomics analysis and then obtain the coding region information through molecular cloning.

Moiré superlattices in two-dimensional stacks have attracted worldwide interest due to their unique electronic properties. A typical example is the moiré ferroelectricity, where adjacent moirés exhibit opposite spontaneous polarization that can be switched through interlayer sliding. However, in contrast to ideal regular ferroelectric moiré domains (equilateral triangles) built in most theoretical models, the unavoidable irregular moiré supercells (non-equilateral triangles) induced by external strain fields during the transfer process have been given less attention.
