Laser‐Assisted Phase Engineering of 2D MoS2 for Efficient Solution‐Processed Electronics
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Here, local laser‐assisted phase transition from solution‐processed phase‐pure 1T′ to 2H MoS2 is shown to critically depend on the irradiation atmosphere. While processing in air leads to damaged insulating regions, inert conditions yield semiconducting 2H domains, enabling direct field‐effect transistor patterning with optimized lateral 1T′‐2H MoS2 ...

Foreign Aid Reduces Labor Supply and Capital Accumulation [PDF]
In an optimal growth model with foreign aid, foreign borrowing, and endogenous leisure-and-consumption choices, it is shown that a permanent rise in foreign aid reduces long-run capital accumulation and labor supply, increases long-run consumption, and ...

Conductive Hydrogels for Exogenous Sensing and Cell Fate Control
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.We engineer electrically conductive hydrogels by combining sulfated glycosaminoglycans with semiconducting polymers. These hydrogels bind bioactive proteins, including growth factors, whose release or retention can be modulated by low‐voltage stimulation. The hydrogels are also integrated as 3D channels in organic electrochemical transistors as part of

Crack Repair in Hydroxyapatite Bioceramics Using an Ultraviolet Ultrafast Laser
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.The study proposes an ultrafast ultraviolet laser approach to repair hidden tooth cracks, which has been preliminarily validated on HAP. Moreover, this technique aims to strengthen the native enamel structure rather than introducing a foreign filling material.

Bilateral aid to Tajikistan; donor tactics and responses to troubled governance
Development Studies ResearchThe amount and form of aid distributed to foreign countries may depend on the contexts and characteristics of the recipient countries. Donors who have aid relations with poorly governed countries, while emphasizing good governance, may have to adjust aid

The Return to Foreign Aid [PDF]
This paper investigates the marginal productivity of investment in the world’s poorest economies. The aim is to estimate the return on investments financed by foreign aid as well as by domestic resource mobilization, using crosscountry aggregate data. In

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This study presents a new biodegradable coating for titanium implants using a natural antimicrobial peptide, caerin 1.9. Applied via solvent casting, the coating offers sustained antibacterial protection and promotes healing. Tested on 3D‐printed porous titanium scaffolds, it effectively prevented infection—including against resistant bacteria—while ...
