TL;DR: Noise measurements show that such BP photodetectors are capable of sensing mid-infrared light in the picowatt range, and the high photoresponse remains effective at kilohertz modulation frequencies, because of the fast carrier dynamics arising from BP's moderate bandgap.

TL;DR: A flexible, wide range and ultra-sensitive resistive pressure sensor with a foam-like structure based on laser-scribed graphene (LSG) is demonstrated, indicating that laser scribed flexible graphene pressure sensors could be widely used for artificial e-skin, medical-sensing, bio-s sensing and many other areas.

TL;DR: It is shown that a vertical electric field can dynamically extend the photoresponse in a 5 nm-thick BP photodetector from 3.7 to beyond 7.7 μm, opening the doors to various mid-infrared applications.

TL;DR: The first black-phosphorus synaptic device is demonstrated, which offers intrinsic anisotropy in its synaptic characteristics directly resulting from its low crystalline symmetry, which represents an important step toward introducing intrinsic heterogeneity to artificial neuromorphic systems.

TL;DR: The unique thickness-dependent bandgap tuning properties in intrinsic black phosphorus, arising from the strong interlayer electronic-state coupling, are revealed and may pave the way for the investigation of electrically tunable topological insulators and semimetals.
