Abstract Odd–even conductance alternation in alkanethiol (CnT, –12) self‐assembled monolayers has been debated for two decades, with conflicting reports on trends, metal dependence, and microscopic origin. Using conducting probe atomic force microscopy (CP‐AFM) with Ag, Au, and P...

Peatland soils, typically nitrogen (N)-limited, are important carbon (C) reservoirs and may be significantly affected by N deposition. Nitrate (NO 3 − -N) and ammonium (NH 4 + -N) are the primary forms of N deposition, with substantial spatial variability. However, how these N fo...

Chirality-Induced One-Way Magnetoresistance in Gold Nanocrystals
Abstract Magnetoresistance (MR), a cornerstone for quantum materials and quantum devices, is usually symmetric (sometimes antisymmetric) under magnetic field reversal. Here, we report a chirality-induced one-way magnetoresistance (ChiMR) in gold nanocrystals, where MR is strongly...

High-performance p-type transparent conductors are limited by low conductivity and poor stability. Here, we report the synthesis of Cu1+δI1−xSx alloy films via non-equilibrium magnetron co-sputtering, enabling sulfur incorporation beyond the thermodynamic solubility limits. X-ray...

Pre-combustion fuel reforming in gas turbines: Hydrocarbon and carbon-neutral fuel pathways
Gas turbines are a cornerstone of modern power generation, providing reliable and dispatchable electricity across the globe. However, their significant contribution to global CO 2 emissions has become increasingly untenable under international climate agreements such as the Paris...

2D MoS 2 /Au Interfaces For Enhanced Opto–Electronic Response With Sub‐Bandgap Photons
ABSTRACT Monolayer is a direct bandgap semiconductor with potential applications in optoelectronics and photonics. also has a large optical nonlinearity. However, the atomic thickness of the monolayer limits the strength of the measured functional signals, such as the photocurren...

Photochemical Atmospheric CO2 Capture and Accumulation in Hydrolyzed Zirconium–Indole Systems
Hydrolyzed 2-phenylindole (PI)–ZrCl4 systems exhibit progressive atmospheric CO2 capture and molecular evolution under ambient light, air, and moisture, providing insight into the evolution of self-organizing zirconium coordination networks. MALDI-TOF, FTIR, and NMR analyses reve...
