Large-Area Growth of Turbostratic Graphene on Ni(111) via Physical Vapor Deposition.
Joseph A. Garlow,Lawrence Barrett,Lijun Wu,Kim Kisslinger,Yimei Zhu,Yimei Zhu,Javier F. Pulecio +6 more
TL;DR: This work investigates the growth of turbostratic graphene on heteroepitaxial Ni(111) thin films utilizing physical vapor deposition and reports an increase in the graphene quality concomitant with a transition in the size of uniform thickness graphene, ranging from nanocrystallites to thousands of square microns.
Identification of active sites on supported metal catalysts with carbon nanotube hydrogen highways
Nicholas M. Briggs,Lawrence Barrett,Evan C. Wegener,Leidy V. Herrera,Laura A. Gomez,Jeffrey T. Miller,Steven P. Crossley +6 more
TL;DR: This approach can be used to clarify many conflicting arguments in the literature and separate the metal from the support by a controlled distance while maintaining the ability to promote defects via the use of carbon nanotube hydrogen highways.
Building a Casimir metrology platform with a commercial MEMS sensor
TL;DR: The team believes that the Casimir effect has considerable potential as a practical, controllable sensing tool and that it could be used for such purposes as temperature sensing, AC voltage measurements, and low-impedance current measurements.
Tunable Infrared Metasurface on a Soft Polymer Scaffold.
TL;DR: The fabrication of metallic electromagnetic meta-atoms on a soft microstructured polymer scaffold using a MEMS-based stencil lithography technique is demonstrated and the metasurface reflectivity in the mid-infrared can be tuned by the application of moderate strains.

Stabilization of furanics to cyclic ketone building blocks in the vapor phase
Taiwo Omotoso,Leidy V. Herrera,Tyler Vann,Nicholas M. Briggs,Laura A. Gomez,Lawrence Barrett,Don J. Jones,Tram Ngoc Pham,Bin Wang,Steven P. Crossley +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that furfural can be selectively converted to 2-cyclopentenone and cyclopentanone in a single step over supported TiO2 catalysts with both model compounds and real biomass derived streams in the vapor phase.
