Feasibility of High-Quality Twisted Bilayer Oxide Nanomembrane Constructions ACS_AMI nanomembrane nanomembranes nano
By Pritam RoyNov 3 2022Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc. In an article published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, researchers demonstrated the creation of higher-order artificial oxide heterostructure based on various materials and symmetries. They established the material basis for examining moiré related electronic effects in a broader range of twisted bilayer oxide thin films.
The Advent of the Twisted Bilayer Nanomembrane The development of magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene systems has opened important areas for research. This introduction of artificial periodic lattices offers unprecedented control for adjusting band configurations and electronic correlations. Since then, a wide range of unique quantum phenomena has been identified.

2q-w X-ray diffraction images of several single-layer and twisted bilayer STO samples on Si substrates with diverse configurations were observed. The significant silicon peak was visible with distinct reflections in the single-layer freestanding STO nanomembrane.

Impact of a Personal Health Record Intervention Upon Surveillance Among Colorectal Cancer Survivors: Feasibility StudyBackground: There are currently an estimated 1.5 million individuals living in the United States with colorectal cancer (CRC), and although the 5-year survival rate has increased, survivors are at risk for recurrence, particularly within the first 2-3 years after treatment. National guidelines recommend continued surveillance after resection to identify recurrence early on. Adherence among survivors ranges from 23% to 94%. Novel interventions are needed to increase CRC survivors’ knowledge and confidence in managing their cancer and thus to increase adherence to follow-up surveillance. Objective: The objective of this study is to develop and test the feasibility and efficacy of a stand-alone, web-based personal health record (PHR) to increase surveillance adherence among CRC survivors, with patient beliefs about surveillance as secondary outcomes. Methods: A pre- and postintervention feasibility trial was conducted testing the efficacy of the colorectal cancer survivor (CRCS)–PHR, which had been previously developed using an iterative, user-centered design approach. Results: The average age of the sample was 58 (SD 9.9) years, with 57% (16/28) male and the majority married (20/28, 71%) and employed full-time (15/28, 54%). We observed a significant increase in adherence to colonoscopy (before: 11/21, 52% vs after: 18/21, 86%; P=.005) and CEA (14/21, 67% vs 20/21, 95%; P=.01), as well as a slight increase in CT scans (14/21, 67% vs 18/21, 86%; P=.10). The only significant impact on secondary outcome (patient beliefs) was benefits of CEA test (P=.04), as most of the beliefs were high at baseline. Conclusions: This feasibility study lays the groundwork for continued development of the CRCS-PHR to increase CRC surveillance. Patient-centered technologies, such as the CRCS-PHR, represent an important potential approach to improving the receipt of guideline-concordant care and follow-up surveillance, and not just for CRC survivors. Researchers should continue to develop pat
