All-in-plane image sensors free from readout integrated circuits

This paper introduces and experimentally validates a novel all-in-plane image sensor architecture that eliminates the need for individual pixel readout circuits by using neighbor-connected photoresistive pixels and reconstructing images via electrical impedance tomography, thereby enabling unprecedented simplification for ultra-miniaturized and heterogeneously integrated detectors.

Optical manipulation of valley coherence via Landau level transitions in black phosphorus and WTe2 monolayers

This paper theoretically demonstrates that inter-Landau level transitions in black phosphorus and WTe2 monolayers significantly enhance valley quantum interference through their anisotropic electronic environments, with black phosphorus showing superior performance due to its greater directional disparity in transition probabilities.

Au and Ag nanoparticles produced by ion implantation in single-crystalline β\beta-Ga2_2O3_3

This study demonstrates the successful formation of highly ordered, crystalline Ag and Au nanoparticles within single-crystalline β\beta-Ga2_2O3_3 via ion implantation and 550°C annealing, characterized by specific crystallographic alignment with the host matrix and confirmed by localised surface plasmon resonance.

Microwave response of electrically driven spins in a three-qubit quantum processor

This study demonstrates that electrically driven Loss-DiVincenzo spin qubits exhibit a linear Rabi frequency scaling with microwave drive amplitude even under simultaneous multi-qubit driving, thereby refuting the notion that previously observed nonlinearities are a general characteristic of such systems.

Nanoscale Conducting and Insulating Domains on YbB6_6

Using scanning tunneling microscopy, researchers discovered that YbB6_6 exhibits coexisting conducting and insulating surface domains with distinct atomic terminations and band-bending, where the insulating regions disprove its status as a strong topological insulator while the spin-polarized conducting regions suggest potential for spintronic applications.
