AbstractThe debate over the optimal orientation of Ag2Se thin films and its influence on thermoelectric performance remains ongoing. Here, we report a wet-chemical selenization-based anisotropy optimization technique to control the in-plane orientation of the Ag2Se thin film, steering it away from (002) nearly parallel planes that hinder charge carrier mobility. This approach enables us to achieve an impressive power factor of 30.8 μW cm−1 K−2 at 343 K.

I live in a religious neighbourhood just north of Haifa, which means the siren goes off every Friday afternoon, half an hour before sunset.

We've been lucky so far. For 11 months, we've reassured relatives in Canada that we're "not that far" north.

Expel the Jews? “Of course,” says Mohammad from Nablus. “No question. They are the enemy. They were brought here so that Europe could get rid of them.”When it comes to the situation in Israel, Ottawa native Corey Gil-Shuster’s YouTube channel offers something far more horrifying than the usual statistics, political analysis, or GoPro footage—raw, honest answers from Palestinians and Israelis to some of the region’s most disturbing questions.
