A method of preventing photodegradation of dyes and pigments used in textiles and paints by surrounding photosensitive molecules with metal clusters that can absorb the damaging ultraviolet photons before they reach and damage the photosensitive molecules. A photosensitive dye or pigment is incorporated into a metal organic framework, which provides a scaffold to offer protection from ultraviolet degradation either by preferentially absorbing the ultraviolet light or by reflecting it before it reaches the dye. Isolating the dyes inside of the metal organic framework also sharpens the spectral features of the dye molecules.

Abrégé
A method for coating high-aspect-ratio (HAR) and high-surface-area (HSA) substrates via atomic layer deposition (ALD) wherein the temperature of the substrate is varied cyclically during the ALD process. An exemplary temperature schedule for each ALD cycle includes at least one predetermined lower temperature during a diffusion/reaction stage of the cycle, where the lower temperature prevents decomposition of the ALD precursors and further prevents other side reactions, and further includes at least one predetermined higher temperature during a purge stage of the cycle, where the higher temperature enables rapid purging of excess precursor and/or byproducts produced during the reaction stage of the cycle. The prevention of side reactions ensures that the ALD coating is uniform and has the desired composition with minimal impurities, and the rapid purging ensures reasonable total process time.

A system may be configured for implementing neural volumetric reconstruction for coherent synthetic aperture sonar. Exemplary systems include means for measuring underwater objects using high-resolution Synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) by coherently combining data from a moving array to form high-resolution imagery. Such a system may receive a waveform from the measurements of the underwater object and optimize the waveform for deconvolving via an iterative deconvolution optimization process applying an adaptable approach to waveform compression where performance is tuned via sparsity and smoothness parameters. Such a system may deconvolve the wave form using pulse deconvolution and use the deconvolved waveforms in an analysis-by-synthesis optimization operation with an implicit neural representation to yield higher resolution and superior volumetric reconstruction scene of the underwater object.

Described herein are single domain antibodies (sdAbs) with improved thermostability and methods for the design thereof using a machine learning model (LIME). LIME predicted thermostabilizing mutations were tested in four sets of sequence-related single domain antibodies (sdAb) having binding activity against Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B, 12 sdAb in total. The mutations were restricted to the constant regions. Two sets of interacting residues were consistently predicted. The first set was in the core of three variants, A7D, with W37R or W37H; these were predicted to form a salt bridge. The second predicted set of, interacting residues was on the surface and created a network of hydrogen bonds involving P22T with S8T accompanied by Q6S. Six mutations were common to all four sets: Q6S, A7D, S8T, (R/Q/E)14R, S18R, and P22T.

The invention relates to multi-atomic layer borophene and a method of synthesizing multi-atomic layer borophene. The multi-atomic layer borophene comprises bilayer (BL) borophene. The BL borophene is BL-α borophene comprising two covalently bonded α-phase borophene monolayers and being metallic and in form of a highly faceted island with a six-fold symmetric Moiré superlattice surrounded by full-coverage intermixed SL v1/5 and v1/6 borophene. The BL-α borophene nucleates and emerges at intersections of multiple SL borophene domains. The synthesizing method includes depositing boron on a substrate with atomically flat terraces at a temperature in an ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) chamber to grow multi-atomic layer borophene beyond a full coverage of single-atomic layer (SL) borophene.

Systems and methods for growth of silicon carbide over a layer comprising graphene and/or hexagonal boron nitride, and related articles, are generally described. In some embodiments, a SiC film is fabricated over a layer comprising graphene and/or hexagonal boron nitride, which in turn is disposed over a substrate. The layer and/or the substrate may be lattice-matched with the SiC film to reduce defect density in the SiC film. The fabricated SiC film may then be removed from the substrate via, for example, a stressor attached to the SiC film. In certain cases, the layer serves as a reusable platform for growing SiC films and also serves a release layer that allows fast, precise, and repeatable release at the layer surface.

Abrégé
The present invention provides a magnetoelectric multiferroic, time-variable magnetic field transmitter based upon a resonant structure capable of enhancing the transmitted field at the structural resonant frequency. This transmitter utilizes a single crystal piezoelectric as the source of mechanical excitations with a laminated transduction element to reduce eddy currents in the magnetostrictive material thereby reducing losses at higher frequencies. The structural resonance frequency can be tuned by adjusting the size of the masses, position and strength of bias magnets, pre-stress conditions and physical parameters of the transduction column elements.

Abrégé
A technique for selective-area diffusion doping of III-N epitaxial material layers and for fabricating power device structures utilizing this technique. Dopant species such as Mg are introduced into the III-N material layer and are diffused into the III-N material by annealing under stable or metastable conditions. The dopant species can be introduced via deposition of a metal or alloy layer containing such species using sputtering, e-beam evaporation or other technique known to those skilled in the art. The dopant material layer is capped with a thermally stable layer to prevent decomposition and out-diffusion, and then is annealed under stable or metastable conditions to diffuse the dopant into the III-N material GaN without decomposing the surface.

Abrégé
Tunable thermochromic materials comprise a metal salt with a varying proportion of two different anions and an organic ligand. Partial substitution via doping during the initial synthesis with a macro-structurally similar (generating an isostructural material) yet chemically different anion creates a material with altered thermochromic properties. For example, in bromide-doped bis(N,N′-diethylethylenediamine)nickel(II)) tetrafluoroborate; both the tetrafluoroborate (BF4-) and bromide (Br—) derivatives are isostructural. Substitution of BF4- for Br— causes a decrease in the materials' thermochromic transition temperature by approximately 10° C.
