Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Mapping of the mechanical response in Si/SiGe nanosheet device geometries
Peering into the mechanics of nanosheet device structures using x-ray diffraction uniquely reveals the interplay of distinct deformation modes as dictated by their geometry.

Acidic CO2RR Employing Bimetallic Catalysts Increases the Carbon Utilization Efficiency in CO2 Electrolysis
With growing interest in the upgrade of CO2 to valuable chemicals, the present-day problem of low carbon utilization – the result of carbonate formation – is attracting ever-increasing attention. We develop a new electrocatalyst that works well in acid, improving the activity in CO2RR.
The story behind AMAISE (A Machine learning Approach to Index-free Sequence Enrichment)
Why we decided to develop a machine learning-based tool to computationally remove host sequences from samples
Inorganic lead-free Cs2AgBiBr6 double perovskite solar cell with a photoelectronic conversion efficiency of 6.37%
We synthesize a hydrogenated Cs2AgBiBr6 perovskite to fabricate the stable and environmentally friendly perovskite solar cell with higher photoelectronic performance. The photoelectronic conversion efficiency of hydrogenated Cs2AgBiBr6 perovskite solar cell could reach up to 6.37% (record value).
Proposals to enhance satellite-based gravitational field recovery
The Gravitational Recovery And Climate Experiment Follow-On (GRACE-FO) mission provides incredibly accurate measurements of changes in the Earth's gravitational field; important for climate scientists, oceanographers and geologists. In our paper, we propose new techniques to enhance such missions.
