Determining lattice parameters in two-dimensional (2D) materials is essential for materials characterization and discovery. In this work, we propose a deep...
Cannabis revenue has risen in the United States (US) from $16.5B in 2018 to $45.4B in 2025 [1], which can be attributed to the legalization of hemp in 2018 with...
The concentration of cells is a key component of modern blood tests. Given the biomarker potential of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in blood, we aimed to...
