The growth of hetero-epitaxial ZnO-AlN core-shell nanowires (NWs) and single crystalline AlN films on non-polar ZnO substrate at temperature of 380 °C by atomic layer deposition (ALD) was investigated. Structural characterization shows that the AlN shells have excellent single-crystal properties. The epitaxial relationship of…[Read more]

 Preparation of the internal mammary artery (IMA) is a critical step in autologous breast reconstruction. Intraoperatively, there is limited opportunity for residents to practice this skill. Porcine models provide highly realistic simulation for vascular surgery; however, use of live laboratory pigs is expensive, inconvenient, and offers limited o…[Read more]
