The inherently poor chemical stability and sensitivity of two-dimensional MXene materials pose significant challenges for their application in non-noble metal surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) under harsh conditions. Herein, a novel unfunctionalized MoB MBene with an ultraclean surface is reported as a stable, ultrasensitive SERS substrate for portable detection of environment toxins. The MoB MBene enables the detection of R6G down to 10 M with an SPF of 4.23 × 10, surpassing most MXene substrates, and its SERS mechanism is mainly attributed to the synergistic effects of enhanced charge transfer efficiency promoted by the ultraclean surface and vacancy modulated photon induced charge transfer resonance. Moreover, it exhibits excellent long-term SERS enhanced stability, which can maintain 86%, 75%, and 61% of its initial SERS performance after 45 days of storage at room temperature and 14 days of storage at low (-26 °C) and high (100 °C) temperatures. Notably, a portable Raman system based on MoB demonstrates ultrasensitive detection of the ricin A chain in real river water, achieving a concentration limit of 0.01 μg/mL and 97.8% accuracy assisted by the developed Transformer model. This work offers new insights for designing stable and sensitive MBene-based SERS substrates for field-deployable sensing in security and public health scenarios.

Promoter-assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD) has emerged as a robust strategy for the low-temperature synthesis of diverse transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). In these processes, promoter-induced intermediates facilitate specific reaction pathways, enabling controlled growth via vapor-solid-solid (VSS) or vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) modes. While previous studies have primarily focused on transition metal precursors, growth pathways involving engineered chalcogen-based intermediates remain underexplored due to their volatility and low melting points.

Ultrasensitive and accurate quantitative determination of trace antibiotics remains a formidable challenge, given its crucial significance for early screening of public health and safety. Notably, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has been developed into a rapid, non-invasive and sensitive technique for detecting trace amounts of antibiotics in the environment. Herein, defect-rich ultraclean MoS nanospheres are successfully designed for the first time through self-organization from common two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (2D MoS) multilayers by one-step green laser-manufactured method.

Superconducting vortices can reveal electron pairing details and nucleate topologically protected states. Yet, vortices of bulk spin-triplet superconductors have never been visualized at the atomic scale. Recently, UTe has emerged as a prime spin-triplet superconductor, but its superconducting order parameter is elusive, and whether time-reversal symmetry (TRS) is broken remains unsettled.

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) hold significant promise in constructing next-generation high-performance electronic devices, potentially extending Moore's law and enabling the realization of three-dimensional integrated circuit architectures. However, realizing this potential depends critically on developing a reliable method to transfer TMDCs from a growth substrate to desirable surfaces. Here, we report a dry-transfer strategy of liquid nitrogen-assisted cryogenic exfoliation to achieve large-scale and superclean transfer of TMDCs.
