The demand of high-performance thin-film-shaped deformable electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding devices is increasing for the next generation wearable and miniaturized soft electronics. Although highly reflective conductive materials can effectively shield EMI, they prevent deformation owing to rigidity generate secondary pollution simultaneously. Herein, stretchable EMI thin film with absorption-dominant behavior presented. consist liquid metal (LM) layer LM grid-patterned separated...

In this brief, several issues attributed to the channel-release process in vertically stacked-gate-all-around MOSFETs (GAAFETs) having various nanosheet (NS) widths were rigorously investigated. Because of finite selectivity SiGe (sacrificial layer) etchant Si (channel layer), channel is likely be thinned during step which one key processes stacked-GAA FET fabrication. Consequently, thickness and interchannel space becomes variable depending on NS width, since etch time must determined by...

Abstract Dry‐process fabrication using fibrillatable binder is emerging as a promising method to produce high‐loading electrodes for energy storage applications, favored by its cost‐efficiency and eco‐friendliness. While previous studies have demonstrated the advantages of dry process over traditional slurry method, there remains gap in understanding how particle size active materials influences mechanical electrochemical performance electrodes.

This article proposes a novel structure for tunneling-based ternary-complementary metal-oxide-semi conductor (T-CMOS) to break through the power scaling constraints of conventional binary-CMOS. The previous T-CMOS uses off-leakage band-to-band tunneling (BTBT) currents generated at deep drain-to-substrate junction third voltage state, which allows ternary inverter configuration with only two single transistors. However, high-dose ion implantation BTBT layer must affect channel doping...

C-Repeat/drought responsive element binding factor (CBF1/DREB1b) is a well known transcriptional activator that induced at low temperature and in turn induces the CBF regulon (CBF-targeted genes). We have cloned characterized two CBF1-like cDNAs, CaCBF1A CaCBF1B, from hot pepper. CaCBF1B were not produced response to mechanical wounding or abscisic acid but by low-temperature stress 4°C. When plants returned 25°C, their transcript levels of genes decreased markedly within 40 min. Longterm...
