THE AFRICAN PROVERB AND THE LIVING PRESENT

Proverbium, 2012
Modernity, the triptych upon which a corpus of Igbo sayings has been created, arose pari passu with the larger incidence of post-colonialism. As a phenomenon with a pervasive grip on the life and imagination of the African, post-colonialism has had its ...

Rethinking Cochlear Implants: The Need for Precise Temporal Coding

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Spatial hearing relies on sensitivity to interaural temporal cues, but this sensitivity is often poorly developed in patients with cochlear implants, particularly those with early‐onset hearing loss. Rats with cochlear implants, however, demonstrate excellent temporal sensitivity, suggesting that this limitation is not inevitable.

Beyond Charge: Field‐Effect Transistors in Multimodal Biosensing Platforms for Biomolecular Interaction Studies

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the developments in field‐effect transistor (FET)‐based dual‐mode sensor platforms and what can be learned from them. It identifies charge as a crucial factor in biomolecular interactions at interfaces, outlines the challenges of hybrid systems, and highlights their benefits.

Al1−xHfxN$\text{Al$_{1-x}$Hf$_{x}$N}$ Thin Films with Enhanced Piezoelectric Responses for GHz Surface Acoustic Wave Devices

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Reactively sputtered wurtzite Al1‐xHfxN thin films, exhibiting strong c‐axis texture and enhanced piezoelectric response, are demonstrated as a cost‐effective alternative to Al1‐xScxN. X‐ray absorption spectroscopy reveals that cross‐gap N 2p–Hf 5d hybridization increases the Born effective charge and enables a multifold increase in piezoelectric ...

Coexistence of Large Nernst Effect and Axis‐Dependent Conduction Polarity in Semimetal MoSi2

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
MoSi2${\rm MoSi}_2$ is a rare material in which axis‐dependent conduction polarity (ADCP) and a large ordinary Nernst effect (ONE) coexist. The pronounced ONE (199μVK−1$199\,\umu \mathrm {V}\,\mathrm {K}^{-1}$) originates from nearly perfect carrier compensation, high mobility, and likely phonon drag, while ADCP arises from mixed‐dimensionality of the ...

Fast Homoepitaxy on (100) β‐Ga2O3 Substrates With Large Grown‐In Offcut

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
(100) β‐Ga2O3 substrates with grown‐in offcuts eliminate grinding waste. A 13.7° offcut in the [‐c] direction produces vertical (001) sidewalls, ideal for 3D architectures. Increasing the offcut angle from 0° to 13.4° continually increases growth rate up to 30x, and step‐flow growth is maintained.

Hybrid Two‐Step Inkjet Printing and Dip‐Coating Enable Scalable 30%‐Efficient Perovskite/Silicon Tandem Solar Cells

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Adopting a scalable hybrid two‐step deposition process route, textured perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells achieve over 30% power‐conversion efficiency. The process route replaces all non‐scalable spin‐coating steps, including organic precursor deposition, self‐assembled monolayer formation, and passivation layer deposition, with scalable techniques ...
