Impact of Rapid Thermal Annealing on the Structural and Piezoelectric Properties of AlN Thin Films

Advanced Electronic Materials, Volume 12, Issue 19, 12 October 2026.
Aluminum nitride (AlN) is a biocompatible piezoelectric material suitable for energy harvesting in MEMS resonators. Through rapid thermal annealing, a threshold for CMOS‐compatible processes is established. AlN improved its crystallinity and enhanced the piezoelectric coefficient by ∼160%. Devices show an improvement in the electromechanical properties

Anomalously enhanced diffusivity of moiré excitons via manipulating the interplay with correlated electrons

Nature Communications
Semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) moiré superlattices provide an unprecedented platform for manipulating excitons. The in-situ control of moiré excitons could enable novel excitonic devices but remains challenging.

Prospective Head Motion Correction in T1‐ and T2‐Weighted Long Echo Train Sequences Using Servo Navigation

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 96, Issue 4, Page 1741-1754, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose To integrate MR‐based servo navigation in MPRAGE and 3D‐TSE sequences and demonstrate its potential for prospective head motion correction in structural imaging. Methods Repeated modules of servo navigators were inserted before each preparation pulse of MPRAGE and 3D‐TSE sequences (before‐prep) for rapid convergence of motion parameter

Cerium‐Modified TiO2 Nanomaterials Derived From Upcycled Coffee Ground Waste for Photocatalytic Oxidation and Hydrogen Production via Photoreforming

ChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2026.
Spent coffee grounds were valorized as a sustainable template for the solvent‐free synthesis of Ce‐loaded TiO2 photocatalysts, promoting enhanced Ce–Ti interactions and tailored morphology. The resulting materials were successfully applied in photocatalytic hydrogen production via ethanol photoreforming, gas‐phase 2‐propanol oxidation, and aqueous 5 ...

Ultrathin Freestanding BiFeO3 Membranes Grown by Pulsed Laser Deposition

Small, Volume 22, Issue 56, 8 October 2026.
Ultrathin freestanding BiFeO3 membranes down to five‐unit cells are realized by pulsed laser deposition using a water‐soluble Sr3Al2O6 sacrificial layer. Strontium diffusion is revealed to drive the spontaneous formation of an Aurivillius‐like phase, while ultrathin SrRuO3 interlayers suppress interfacial intermixing, preserve polar tetragonality, and ...

Correlation Study of Subjective Clinical Evaluation and Skin Biophysical Properties in Facial Skin among Young Korean Women; Pilot Study

Skin Research and Technology, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Although standardized, evidence‐based diagnostic tools are essential for the assessment of the efficacy of facial skin rejuvenation, aesthetic medicine has largely relied on subjective evaluations, especially in primary clinics. Recent studies have demonstrated the potential of skin biophysical properties for objective assessment ...

Moiré patterns in 2D materials

, 2020
The relative orientation between two or more layers of a 2D crystal can create moiré patterns. The patterns have a characteristic size, known as the moiré length, which can be directly controlled by the twist angle between layers.
