Article Abstract
Multilayer thin films of graphene oxide (GO) and poly(vinylamine) (PVAm) were deposited via layer-by-layer assembly. Poly(vinylamine) pH was used to tailor film thickness and GO layer spacing. Graphene oxide concentration in the films was controlled through simple pH adjustment. Thermal reduction of the PVAm/GO multilayer thin films rendered them electrically conductive, which could be further tailored with PVAm pH. These reduced films also exhibited exceptionally high elastic modulus of 30 GPa and hardness of 1.8 GPa, which are among the highest of any graphene-filled polymer composite values ever reported. Cross-linking of these films with glutaraldehyde improved their chemical resistance, allowing them to survive strongly acidic or salty solutions. Additionally, scratches in the films can be instantaneously detected by a simple electrical resistance measurement. These films are promising for a variety of packaging and electronic applications.

A nanometer-scale multilayer gate insulator (GI) engineering strategy is introduced to simultaneously enhance the on-current and bias stability of amorphous InGaZnO thin-film transistors (a-IGZO TFTs). Atomic layer deposition supercycle modifications employ alternating layers of AlO, TiO, and SiO to optimize the gate-oxide stack. Each GI material is strategically selected for complementary functionalities: AlO improves the interfacial quality at both the GI/semiconductor and GI/metal interfaces, thereby enhancing device stability and performance; TiO increases the overall dielectric constant; and SiO suppresses leakage current by serving as a high-energy barrier between AlO and TiO.

The spatial organization of viral and host components dictates the course of infection, yet the nanoscale architecture of the SARS-CoV-2 life cycle remains largely uncharted. Here, we present a comprehensive super-resolution Atlas of SARS-CoV-2 infection, systematically mapping the localization of nearly all viral proteins and RNAs in human cells. This resource reveals that the viral main protease, nsp5, localizes to the interior of double-membrane vesicles (DMVs), challenging existing models and suggesting that polyprotein processing is a terminal step in replication organelle maturation.

The mechanical properties of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (2D TMDs), molybdenum disulfide (MoS) in particular, are crucial for their reliable applications in advanced flexible electronics and phototransistors. This study systematically investigated the influence of geometrical factors on MoS's mechanical property and fracture behavior by performing in situ tensile tests on submicroscale strap specimens with different thicknesses ranging from 7 to 95 nm inside SEM and TEM. Results demonstrated a strong correlation between the apparent fracture strength and Young's modulus of MoS and the specimen thickness, where thinner samples exhibited a significantly elevated fracture strength and Young's modulus.
