TL;DR: This work has reported an all-optical pathway to emulate excitatory and inhibitory action potentials by exploiting oxidation-related defects in black phosphorus, capable of imitating key neural functions such as psychological learning and forgetting, spatiotemporally correlated dynamic logic and Hebbian spike-time dependent plasticity.

TL;DR: In this paper, a subwavelength dielectric resonator metasurface supporting various resonance modes is proposed and experimentally demonstrated enhanced by metal loading to obtain strong broadband thermal emission over a wide angle at mid-infrared frequencies.

TL;DR: Since BP undergoes similar photo-oxidative degradation, imidazolium-based ionic liquids are employed as quenchers of these damaging species on the BP surface, allowing BP to remain stable for over 13 weeks, while retaining its key electronic characteristics.

TL;DR: This work shows that the favorable band structure of a CuO-nanorod-based NanoZyme catalyst (band gap of 1.44 eV) allows visible light to control the antibacterial activity and remarkably accelerating the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by 20 times.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the recent progress that has occurred towards protecting 2D black phosphorus from ambient degradation and compared their relative degrees of success in various protection strategies, focusing on the various causes of degradation of this material in atmospheric conditions and the protection strategies implemented so far.
