The commercial implementation of aqueous Zn-ion batteries is being impeded by the rampant dendrite growth and exacerbated side reactions on Zn metal anodes. Herein, a 60 nm artificial protective layer with spatial dielectric–metallic gradient composition (denoted as GZH) developed via HfO2 cosputtering.

Magnetic skyrmions are particle-like magnetization configurations which can be found in materials with broken inversion symmetry. Their topological nature allows them to circumvent around random pinning sites or impurities as they move within the magnetic layer, makes interesting information carriers memory devices. However, when skyrmion is driven by a current, Magnus force generated leads moving away from direction of conduction electron flow. The deflection poses serious problem...
We report a systematic investigation of the temperature dependence electrical resistance behaviours in tri- and four-layer graphene interconnects.

The room measurements further indicate layers exhibit semiconductors mainly due scattering...
3D printing via vat photopolymerization (VP) is a highly promising approach for fabricating magnetic soft millirobots (MSMRs) with accurate miniature structures; however, filler materials added to resin either strongly interfere the photon energy source or sediment too fast, resulting in nonuniformity of distribution failed prints, which limits application VP. To this end, circulating (CVP) platform that can print MSMRs high uniformity, particle loading, and strong response presented. After...
