Applications of nanowires into future generation nanodevices require a complete
understanding of the mechanical properties of the nanowires. A great research effort has …

Size is one of the central issues in nanoscience. The practical meaning of the term “sub‐
nanometric material (SNM)” requires two aspects:(1) its size should be at the atomic level;(2) …

An active matrix‐type stretchable display is realized by overlay‐aligned transfer of inorganic
light‐emitting diode (LED) and single‐crystal Si thin film transistor (TFT) with roll processes …

A three-dimensional network-woven architecture made of TiB nanowires has been designed
and realized in the matrix of a Ti6Al4V alloy. The architecturally nanostructured design was …

The primary challenge to exploit the nanowire as a truly one‐dimensional building block in
nanoscale devices is the clear incorporation of scale effects into the operational …

An extension of the classic thermodynamics theory to nanometer scale has generated a new
interdisciplinary theory–nanothermodynamics. It serves as a bridge between macroscopic …

Strain engineering has been used to increase the charge carrier mobility of complementary
metal–oxide–semiconductor transistors as well as to boost and tune the performance of …

Many efficient light-emitting devices and photodetectors are based on semiconductors with,
respectively, a direct or indirect bandgap configuration. The less known pseudodirect …

Strain is powerful for discovery and manipulation of new phases of matter; however, elastic
strains accessible to epitaxial films and bulk crystals are typically limited to small (⁠< 2%⁠) …

Although organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites have been extensively investigated for
promising applications in energy-related devices, their mechanical properties, which restrict …
