TL;DR: This work demonstrates that in an oxygen-activated chemical vapour deposition (CVD) process, half-millimetre size, Bernal-stacked BLG single crystals can be synthesized on Cu and discovers new microscopic steps governing the growth of the 2nd graphene layer below the 1st layer.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that nanoporous carbon composite membranes, which comprise a layer of porous carbon fiber structures grown on a porous ceramic substrate, can exhibit 100% desalination and a freshwater flux that is 3-20 times higher than existing polymeric membranes.

TL;DR: It is shown that a mass and momentum flux can also be induced in a gas confined between two parallel structured surfaces at different temperatures, i.e., orthogonal to the temperature gradient.

TL;DR: A statistical physical-based gas–surface interaction model, which complies with the basic relations of boundary condition, is developed based on the framework of the washboard model, capable of capturing some important relations/trends for which the classic empirical models fail to model correctly.

TL;DR: In this article, an efficient hybrid algorithm is developed by combining the molecular dynamics (MD) method with the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method, where the MD method is applied only within the gas-wall interaction layer, characterized by the cut-off distance of the gassolid interactionpotential, to resolve ac- curately the gaswall interaction process, while the DSMC method is employed in the remaining portion of the flow field to efficiently simulate rarefied gas transport out- side the gas wall interaction layer.
