LSSR1 facilitates seed setting rate by promoting fertilization in rice

Rice, 2019
Seed setting rate is one of the major components that determine rice (Oryza sativa L.) yield. Successful fertilization is necessary for normal seed setting. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms governing this process. In this study, we

Temperature‐Dependent Properties of Atomic Layer Deposition‐Grown TiO2 Thin Films

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study explores the temperature‐dependent properties of TiO₂ thin films grown by atomic layer deposition using tetrakis dimethyl amino titanium and water. The films exhibit increased oxynitride incorporation as the process temperature increases from 150 to 350 °C, significantly influencing their optical and electrical properties. Findings highlight

Evolution of the Electronic Gap of Directly Synthesized Versus Mechanically Transferred WS2 Monolayer to Multilayer Films

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
The electronic properties of tungsten disulfide (WS₂) films are investigated using ultraviolet photoelectron and inverse photoemission spectroscopies (UPS/IPES). Differences in electronic gaps and energy levels between mechanically transferred and MOCVD‐grown films reveal the non‐negligible influence of preparation methods on electronic properties ...

The Fabrication of Superhydrophobic Coatings Using Food‐Grade Wax Dispersions

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A method is presented for creating superhydrophobic materials using a simple mixture of food‐grade wax and solvent. By varying the solubility and dispersibility of the wax as the solvent is replaced, superhydrophobic coatings can be achieved on different substrates using spray coating.

Thermodynamic Stability and Site‐Specific Distribution of Graphitic and Pyridinic Nitrogen in Graphene Moiré on Ru(0001)

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Nitrogen doping on Ru(0001) is investigated using ion implantation and annealing, tuning the distribution of graphitic (GN) and pyridinic (PN) nitrogen sites. STM, XPS, and DFT identified the structure and site distribution, and a thermodynamic phase diagram showed that GN is most stable at the Atop region, while PN preferred boundaries between FCC and

Supergravity and In‐Situ Evaporation Induced Well‐Aligned and Self‐Crosslinked 2D Material‐Based Thin Films

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
The supergravity and in‐situ evaporation are utilized to produce GO thin films with a record‐high mechanical strength of 540 MPa. The supergravity confines the 2D flakes within a very thin layer and creates a large all‐directional shear stress to induce the superalignment, while in‐situ evaporation accelerates the dehydration and facilitates the ester ...

The Influence of the Supporting Substrate on Single‐Particle Circular Differential Scattering of DNA Assembled Nanorod Dimers

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
For most microscopy measurements the sample is placed on a substrate, which causes symmetry breaking, especially relevant for chiral plasmonic nanostructures. DNA origami mediated X‐shaped AuNR dimers showing high structural purity in solution, exhibit significant diversity in lineshapes and signal intensities for their circular differential scattering
