There is a rising interest in employing the negative capacitance (NC) effect to achieve sub-60 mV/decade (below thermal limit) switching field-effect transistors (FETs). The NC effect, which an effectual amplification of applied gate potential, realized by incorporating ferroelectric material series with dielectric stack FET. One leading challenges such NC-FETs variable substrate exhibited 3D semiconductor channels (bulk, Fin, or nanowire) that minimizes extent switching. In this work, we...

Atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) materials are promising candidates for sub-10 nm transistor channels due to their ultrathin body thickness, which results in strong electrostatic gate control. Properly scaling a technology requires reducing both the channel length (distance from source drain) and contact that drain interface with semiconducting channel). Contact remains an unresolved epidemic scaling, affecting devices all semiconductors-silicon 2D materials. Here, we show clean edge...

Urinary tract infections are predominantly caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC). UPEC infects bladder epithelial cells (BECs) via fusiform vesicles, escapes into the cytosol to evade exocytosis, and establishes intracellular bacterial communities (IBCs) for next round of infection. The vesicle escape mechanism remains unclear. Here we show that senses host immune responses initiates upregulating a key phospholipase. phospholipase PldA disrupts membrane, pldA expression is...

Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals materials are subject to mechanical deformation and thus forming bubbles wrinkles during exfoliation transfer. A lack of interfacial "flatness" has implications for interface properties, such as those formed by metal contacts or insulating layers. Therefore, an understanding the detailed properties 2D interfaces, especially their flatness under different conditions, is high importance. Here we use cross-sectional scanning transmission electron microscopy...
