Synthesis of broadband multilayer metamaterial absorbers based on spatially variable 3D-printed structures and MXenes
Journal Article Physical Review Applied · December 1, 2025 We introduce a systematic approach for enhancing the absorbance of multilayer metamaterial absorbers (MMA) by combining deep-subwavelength spatially variable dielectric substrates with the increased Ohmic losses of MXene resonators. We choose MXenes to for ... Full text CiteSurface termination engineering of 2D titanium carbides for light-activated soft robotics applications
Journal Article Matter · November 5, 2025 The transition metal carbide (TMC) Ti3C2Tx features high conductivity, photothermal conversion, and flexibility, making it promising for light-driven soft actuators. However, conventional synthesis often results in fluorine ... Full text CiteZero-Shot Autonomous Microscopy for Scalable and Intelligent Characterization of 2D Materials.
Journal Article ACS nano · October 2025 Characterization of atomic-scale materials traditionally requires human experts with months to years of specialized training. Even for trained human operators, accurate and reliable characterization remains challenging when examining newly discovered mater ... Full text CiteRecent Grants
