Metals, semiconductors and insulators are fundamental components of modern electronics. However, efforts to improve device performance have largely focused on semiconductor quality, while metal crystallinity has received far less attention. As transistor dimensions continue to shrink, though, structural disorder in metals and at metal-semiconductor interfaces increasingly impedes carrier injection

For its review of the Bail Act 1985 (SA), the South Australian Law Reform Institute (SALRI) is now commencing its community engagement, including visits to towns in regional South Australia, to seek input from interested parties and individuals.
A new National Bureau of Economic Research from the University of California San Diego shows that wildfire damage can have long-term economic consequences for households, resulting in income losses, relocation of residents as well as slow rebuilding for several years after a fire.

A new study led by researchers at the University of California San Diego shows that the brain does not simply respond to breathing as a steady rhythm. Instead, the detailed shape of each individual breath is closely linked to the shape of neural activity in brain regions.

As residents' daily living standards continue to improve, the demand for high-quality protein in farming and other fields has increased significantly, and the supply is insufficient. At the same time, urban food waste production is large, and traditional disposal processes have high carbon emissions, low resource conversion efficiency, and high energy consumption. The protein supply gap and the problem of food waste disposal are superimposed, and there is an urgent need to build efficient and coordinated resource solutions.
Two-dimensional transition metal borides have broad application prospects in the field of electrochemical energy storage due to their unique electronic structure, high conductivity and rich surface chemical properties. Molybdenum boride (MoB) can be obtained by selectively etching away the aluminum (Al) layer in layered molybdenum aluminum boron (MoAlB). However, this method often faces problems such as incomplete removal of Al and re-stacking of MoB layers after etching, making it difficult to fully peel off the two-dimensional nanosheets. This will reduce the available surface area of the material and prevent electrolyte ions from entering the interlayer active sites, thus restricting the performance of MoB in high-rate energy storage devices.
