Pt-functionalized graphene shows promise for near-ambient hydrogen storage due to graphene's potential as a host and platinum's role catalyst the evolution reaction spillover effect. This study explores Pt cluster formation on epitaxial its suitability storage. Scanning Tunneling Microscopy reveals two growth pathways. Initially, up ∼1 ML of coverage, tends randomly disperse cover surface, whereas height remains unchanged. Beyond coverage 3 ML, nucleation new layers existing clusters becomes...
Alkali metal intercalation of graphene layers has been particular interest due to potential applications in electronics, energy storage, and catalysis. Rubidium (Rb) is one the largest alkali metals less investigated as intercalant. Here, we report a systematic investigation, with multi-technique approach, phase formation Rb under epitaxial monolayer on SiC(0001). We explore wide space two control parameters: density (i.e., deposition time) sample temperature room- low-temperature). reveal...
In June 2018 the SPIDER device, which is full-size prototype of negative ion source and extractor for ITER Heating Neutral Beam has entered first operation phase at Test Facility (NBTF) in Padova, Italy. This paper describes present status experimental plans results obtained during campaign radio-frequency driven plasma source.

We report a new technique for fabricating metal-functionalized three-dimensional epitaxial graphene on porous SiC. The process is clean and scalable. fabricated material exhibits high chemical thermal stability, versatility.
The voltage-gated potassium channel Kv4.3 plays a vital role in shaping the timing, frequency, and backpropagation of electrical signals brain heart by generating fast transient currents at subthreshold membrane potentials repetitive firing neurons. To achieve its physiological function, is assisted auxiliary β-subunits that become integral parts native A-type channels, among which there are Kv channel-interacting proteins (KChIPs). KChIPs family cytosolic that, when coexpressed with Kv4,...
Sensors which are sensitive to volatile organic compounds and thus able monitor the conservation state of food, precious because they work non-destructively allow avoid direct contact with ensuring hygienic conditions. In particular, monitoring rancidity would solve a widespread issue in food storage. The sensor discussed here is produced utilizing novel three-dimensional arrangement graphene, grown on crystalline silicon carbide (SiC) wafer previously porousified by chemical etching. This...
