TL;DR: In this paper, the lattice reconstruction in twisted bilayers of the transition metal dichalcogenides, MoS2 and WS2, was revealed using atomic-resolution transmission electron microscopy.

TL;DR: Atomic-resolution transmission electron microscopy is used to reveal the lattice reconstruction in twisted bilayers of the transition metal dichalcogenides, MoS 2 and WS 2, showing that such reconstruction creates strong piezoelectric textures, opening a new avenue for engineering of 2D material properties.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that reaction selectivity of a sequential reaction can be controlled under visible light illumination and this work believes these results will contribute to the use of plasmonic catalysis to drive and control a wealth of selective molecular transformations under ecofriendly conditions andvisible light illumination.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of atomically dispersed copper sites in catalytic reduction of NO2 at ambient temperature was investigated, and the performance of the Cu/UiO-66 catalyst was shown to achieve a selectivity of 88% for the formation of N2 at a 97% conversion of NO 2 with a lifetime of >50 h and an unprecedented turnover frequency of 6.1 h-1 is achieved under nonthermal plasma activation.

TL;DR: It is found that hBN-encapsulation which is introduced parallel to the graphite zigzag edges preserves ABC stacking, while encapsulation along the armchair edges transforms the stacking to ABA.
