High‐Performance Air‐Stable Polymer Monolayer Transistors for Monolithic 3D CMOS logics

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A fibrillar polymer monolayer with a self‐confinement effect is demonstrated, in which aligned chains parallel the nanofiber axis. Employing a top‐gate CYTOP dielectric, this monolayer transistor achieves high mobility (7.12 cm2 V−1 s−1) and exceptional stability over 1260 days in air.

The role of glacier mice in the invertebrate colonisation of glacial surfaces: the moss balls of the Falljökull, Iceland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Glacier surfaces have a surprisingly complex ecology. Cryoconite holes contain diverse invertebrate communities while other invertebrates, such as Collembola often graze on algae and windblown dead organic on the glacier surface.
