TL;DR: Thermoplasmonic effects notably improve the efficiency of vacuum membrane distillation, an economically sustainable tool for high-quality seawater desalination.

TL;DR: The first technological demonstration of a phosphorus-based active active terahertz device is described, exploiting a 10 nm thick flake of exfoliated crystalline black phosphorus as an active channel of a field-effect transistor.

TL;DR: Experimental results provide clues regarding the nature of plasmonic excitations in graphene on metals and semiconductors and intriguing effects due to many-body interaction are reported, such as the excitations generated by electron-electron coupling (magnetoplasmons) and the composite modes arising from the coupling of plasmons with phonons and with charge carriers.

TL;DR: The first demonstration of room-temperature terahertz (THz) detection mediated by overdamped plasma-wave oscillations on the "activated" TSS of a Bi2Te2.2Se0.8 flake is provided.

TL;DR: In this article, a combination of ultra-high-resolution STM images and helium atom diffraction data was used to show that the graphene lattice is rotated with respect to the lattice of Ru and the structural corrugation as determined from He diffraction is substantially smaller (0.15
