Symmetry-Broken Biphasic WS2 NanowhiskeredHeterostructures Enable Field-Induced NO2 Sensing

Abstract Van der Waals (vdW) materials have garnered ample interest as next-generation sensors and catalysts, owing to high surface-to-volume ratio, defect tunability, easy modulation of active sites, and convenience in device fabrication. However, one major drawback delimiting s...

Enhanced dynamic range spatio-spectral metrology of few-cycle laser pulses

Accurate spatio-temporal and spatio-spectral metrology is critical to the characterization and use of ultra-short, highpower lasers.The emergence of few cycle pulses, with bandwidths of tens or hundreds of nanometers, poses a significant challenge to existing metrology techniques...

Pine root exudate terpenoids associate with Mycobacterium sp. under summer drought in a mixed Mediterranean forest

Abstract Background Interactions between tree root exudates and rhizosphere bacteria are a key pathway influencing tree health in the forest. However, how this interaction occurs at the chemical level belowground in forest soil still remains unclear. We conducted a 2-year field e...
