Monolayer control of spin-charge conversion in van der Waals heterostructures Open
The diversity of 2D materials and their van der Waals (vdW) stacking presents a fertile ground for engineering novel multifunctional materials and quantum states of matter. This permits unique opportunities to tailor the electronic propert…

Origins of background signal effects in all-metallic non-local spin valves Open
The non-local spin valve (NLSV) is a useful device for studying spin transport at nanoscopic dimensions, with potential technological applications. Despite this appeal, background signals, unrelated to spin diffusion, often hinder the inte…

Thermal nanoconversion of ferromagnetic nanoislands Open
In this work, we investigate the use of post-fabrication thermal nanoconversion (TNC), using a heated scanning probe tip, to modify the magnetic properties of Ni80Fe20 elliptical nanoislands with varying aspect ratio. Despite Ni80Fe20 bein…

Transistors platform for rapid and parallel detection of multiple pathogens by nanoscale-localized multiplexed biological activation Open
The rise in antibiotic-resistant pathogens, highly infectious viruses, and chronic diseases has prompted the search for rapid and versatile medical tests that can be performed by the patient. An electronic biosensing platform based on fiel…

Fabricating Quasiperiodic Tilings with Thermal‐Scanning Probe Lithography Open
We outline an approach to fabricate nanoscale artificial quasiperiodic tilings with thermal‐scanning probe lithography. Quasiperiodic tilings such as the Ammann‐Beenker, Square Fibonacci tiling, and Penrose are fabricated and imaged with t…

Updating Dimedone─The Humble Hero of the Organic Laboratory Open
In this paper, we present a concise and technique-heavy route to the synthesis of dimedone for a second-year organic chemistry curriculum. Our preparation of dimedone guides students through a Michael addition followed by a Dieckmann cycli…

Saltmarsh archives of vegetation and land use change from Big River Marsh, SW Newfoundland, Canada Open
Pollen and plant macrofossils are often well-preserved in coastal sediments, providing a palaeoenvironmental record of sea-level and landscape change. In this study, we examine the pollen and plant macrofossil assemblages of a well-dated s…

From Microscale Network Topology to Macroscale Mechanics of Folded protein Hydrogels Open
Hydrogels are a unique species of soft matter biomaterial. Generically defined as any hydrophilic polymer network capable of absorbing large volumes of water, their composition and characteristics can be extremely varied. With such an all-…

Poly High Internal Phase Emulsion for the Immobilization of Chemical Warfare Agents Open
We report a facile method for the absorption (characterized by the weight/weight swelling degree, Q) of a variety of chemical warfare agents (CWAs); including sulfur mustard (HD) (Q = 40) and V-series (VM, VX, i-Bu-VX, n-Bu-VX) of nerve ag…
