Insulators for 2D nanoelectronics: the gap to bridge

How to bridge the health literacy gap.

Communicating with patients in a way they understand will lead to better outcomes and avoid mistakes and uncertainty.

Nanoelectronics: graphene gets a better gap.

atomic scale, their results can be compared to the predictions of density functional theory. Not surprisingly, these calculations suggest that the clusters deform when the tip makes contact with them, and that certain arrangements of the metal clusters are unstable — in agreement with the experimental observations. In particular, the researchers find that the contact conductance of the tip–mole...

How to bridge the gap in human resources for health.

Human resources are the crucial core of a health system, but they have been a neglected component of health-system development. The demands on health systems have escalated in low income countries, in the form of the Millennium Development Goals and new targets for more access to HIV/AIDS treatment. Human resources are in very short supply in health systems in low and middle income countries co...

A new kind of 2D topological insulators BiCN with a giant gap and its substrate effects

Based on DFT calculation, we predict that BiCN, i.e., bilayer Bi films passivated with -CN group, is a novel 2D Bi-based material with highly thermodynamic stability, and demonstrate that it is also a new kind of 2D TI with a giant SOC gap (~1 eV) by direct calculation of the topological invariant Z2 and obvious exhibition of the helical edge states. Monolayer h-BN and MoS2 are identified as go...
