Gate‐Induced Critical Current Modulation in W–C Nanowires: The Role of Fabrication

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Focused ion beam induced deposition (FIBID) enables precise control of superconducting W–C nanowire devices. Introducing a Ga+ focused ion beam (FIB) cleaning step reduces substrate damage and suppresses leakage currents, shifting gating thresholds to higher voltages.

Evolution of OLED Lamination Technology With Development of Display Form Factors

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review evaluates the evolution of organic light‐emitting diode (OLED) lamination technologies alongside advancing display form factors. It contrasts optically clear adhesives and resins, highlighting uniformity control for rigid screens, bubble‐free optimization for bended architectures, and visible‐light curing for foldable layers.

The geographical differences and similarities of radon affected areas in England [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
The geographical distribution of radon gas is very uneven. The gas occurs naturally in all buildings at concentrations which can vary from below the United Kingdom national average of 20 Bq m(^-3) to more than 2,000 Bq m(^-3).

Wood‐Derived Nanocellulose‐Biocarbon Fresnel‐Zone Plate Lenses for Sub‐THz Frequency Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Wood‐derived nanocellulose and lignin‐based biocarbon were combined to fabricate fully bio‐based Fresnel zone plate (FZP) lenses for sub‐terahertz frequencies. These sustainable FZP lenses exhibit low dielectric loss and high directivity, achieving performance comparable to that of metallic references, and remain functional under environmental stress ...
