“Aided via computational modeling, we developed an ultrasensitive probe to detect Aβ deposition in live animals. This probe could facilitate the study of the Aβ-related pathology of Alzheimer's Disease.”--- Tianruo Shen

“In this work, interface-driven anisotropic etching mode is demonstrated for the first time to be generally applied to 2D heterostructures. It is shown that the typical in-plane graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) heterostructures follow a multi-stage etching behavior initiated first along the interfacial region between the two materials and then along edges of neighboring h-BN flakes and finally along central edges of h-BN.”   --- Hui Ying Yang

"We propose a novel strategy to use Wadsley-Roth phase niobium tungsten oxide to achieve dual-ion batteries (DIBs) with superior volumetric performance. The excellent practicality of this DIB is demonstrated by assembling a flexible pouch battery. Meanwhile, the energy storage mechanism of the full battery was investigated by operando XRD characterization and operando Raman spectroscopy."   --- Jiaojiao Zhu
