Article Abstract
We report effect of the strain relaxation in InGaN/GaN multi-quantum well (MQW) structures grown on platinum nanocluster-coated sapphire substrate (PNSS) by metal organic chemical vapor deposition. The photoluminescence (PL) intensity of InGaN/GaN MQWs on PNSS was significantly enhanced compared to that of the InGaN/GaN MQWs on flat sapphire substrate due to the reduction of defect density and residual strain by self-assembled Pt nanoclusters. We confirmed the reduction of strain-induced piezoelectric field by the power dependence of the PL in InGaN/GaN MQWs on PNSS. Cathodoluminescence shows that a large bright area with overall strong peak intensity is attributed to the suppression of In inhomogeneity and strain relaxation in InGaN/GaN MQWs on PNSS. Based on these results, we suggest that the self-assembled Pt nanocluster can be applied to increase the quantum efficiency through improved crystal quality and internal strain relaxation in MQWs.

Hydrogen embrittlement (HE) poses a significant challenge to the durability of materials used in hydrogen production and utilization. Disentangling the competing nanoscale mechanisms driving HE often relies on simulations and electron-transparent sample techniques, limiting experimental insights into hydrogen-induced dislocation behavior in bulk materials. This study employs in situ Bragg coherent X-ray diffraction imaging to track three-dimensional (3D) dislocation and strain field evolution during hydrogen charging in a bulk grain of austenitic 316 stainless steel.

Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a promising therapy for neurological and inflammatory disorders across multiple organ systems. However, conventional rigid interfaces fail to accommodate dynamic mechanical environments, leading to mechanical mismatches, tissue irritation, and unstable long-term interfaces. Although soft neural interfaces address these limitations, maintaining mechanical durability and stable electrical performance remains challenging.

Plectin is a giant protein of the plakin family that crosslinks the cytoskeleton of mammalian cells. It is expressed in virtually all tissues and its dysfunction is associated with various diseases such as skin blistering. There is evidence that plectin regulates the mechanical integrity of the cytoskeleton in diverse cell and tissue types.

Influenza remains a highly contagious respiratory disease with profound global health and economic implications. Although traditional vaccines, including inactivated influenza vaccines (IIVs), live attenuated influenza vaccines (LAIVs), and recombinant subunit influenza vaccines (RIVs), are widely available, their efficacy against emerging viral strains is often limited. This limitation underscores the urgent need for novel vaccine strategies.
