Precise Microstructural and Stoichiometric Control Advances Flexible Ag2Te Thin‐Film Thermoelectrics for Wearable Energy Harvesting

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Flexible Ag2Te thin films achieving a record‐high mobility of 4756 cm2 V−1 s−1 and a peak power factor of 18.5 µW cm−1 K−2 are developed via precise structural control. The assembled flexible devices demonstrate excellent mechanical stability and ultrafast voltage response, enabling precise thermal detection when integrated into a robotic gripper for ...

Microwave Absorption for Detection of Dirac Fermions in SnTe Films

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Microwave absorption can detect Dirac fermions in samples exposed to the atmosphere. Results showed that although topological surface states are robust against environmental degradation, they are not detectable by electrical transport measurements. Hence, microwave absorption can detect Dirac fermions even in samples whose surfaces have deteriorated ...

3D Printed Multimaterial Microfluidic Transistors

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
We introduce a biocompatible, high resolution photopolymer resin that closely mimics the Young's Modulus (elasticity) and reversible stretchability (no hysteresis) of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS), enabling the fabrication of microfluidic transistors (i.e., microvalves capable of proportional amplification) by multimaterial stereolithography (mSLA ...

Flow‐Adaptive Gas Sensing Enabled Using a Uniform Au Nanosheet Sensor Array and a Neural Network Inference

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Integrated Au nanosheet sensor array enables simultaneous inference of gas concentration and flow rate via deep neural network analysis, without external flow control. ABSTRACT Gas sensor responses are considerably affected by gas flow rates, thereby inhibiting the accurate detection of target gas concentrations in variable‐flow applications such as ...

Attained vs.effective schooling: Assessing educational mismatch using PIAAC data

International Labour Review
This article proposes a measure of educational mismatch based on a novel definition of schooling that takes into account the different levels of skills acquired by individuals with the same education. It is assumed that less (more) able individuals could
