Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Ozone‐based gas‐phase metal‐assisted chemical etching enables unprecedented room‐temperature fabrication of high‐quality silicon nanowires. The superior oxidation potential of O3 drives rapid vertical etching (1 µm min−1) while maintaining exceptional structural integrity. The pristine nanowire surfaces enable high‐performance core‐shell photodetectors

Deterministic Writing of Field‐Free and Unipolar Spin‐Transfer Torque Magnetic Random‐Access Memory
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Deterministic unipolar‐switching STT‐MRAM with field‐free operation is experimentally demonstrated. The device features a compact 4F2 cell architecture using a diode as the access device and a single magnetic tunneling junction. Unlike conventional bipolar switching STT‐MRAM requiring a three‐terminal access transistor in the array, this design offers ...
