A semifloating molybdenum disulfide homojunction exhibits a photoelectric response with a tunable amplitude and relaxation time, which can be used for reconstructive spectroscopy with high resolution and a small device footprint.

A sensor that consists of a catechol-conjugated alginate hydrogel adhesive, a stretchable 16-channel electrode array and a viscoplastic self-healing polymeric substrate, and is coupled to a pulse-controlled transcranial focused ultrasound device, can be used for closed-loop transcranial ultrasound neurostimulation.

A wireless monitoring system that integrates an organic electrochemical transistor and a near-infrared inorganic micro-light-emitting diode on a thin parylene substrate can be used to monitor biomarkers such as glucose, lactate and pH.

A wearable microgrid powered solely by fingertip perspiration can monitor metabolic biomarkers over extended periods of time.

A tactile oral pad made from a carbon nanotube and silicone composite that can be controlled by teeth and tongue movements can be used for typing, gaming and wheelchair navigation.

Metal gate electrodes with a high cohesive energy—platinum and tungsten—can be used to mitigate leakage currents and premature dielectric breakdown across chemical vapour deposition-grown multilayer hexagonal boron nitride, allowing the material to be used as a gate dielectric in two-dimensional-materials-based transistors.

The further development of transistors based on two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides faces various issues, starting with the high density of defects typically found in the materials.

Computer engineer and transgender advocate who shaped the way VLSI systems are designed.

The complexity of the infrastructure underpinning the modern Internet has led to a lack of clarity on how to measure the energy consumption of web services and achieve sustainable web design. It is now crucial to redirect sustainability efforts in the sector towards more effective interventions.

Steps are required to improve the assessment, reporting and benchmarking of devices based on emerging semiconductor materials.
