Water electrolysis is an effective, durable and emission free technique to convert electricalenergy by the electrochemical decomposition of water into chemical energy.During water electrolysis in an acidic electrolyte, water is oxidized to oxygen andprotons at the anode. The protons permeate through the electrolyte to the cathodewhere they are reduced to hydrogen. [...]

Cognitive and behavioral processes are indissociable from their biophysical substrateand the characteristics of the underlying processing elements. As such, neural compu-tation and the properties of functional neurodynamics ought to be understood primarilyas complex biophysical phenomena: nested interactions, spanning multiple temporaland spatial scales and distributed across massively parallel modular hierarchies.The observable dynamics, both at a mesoscopic and microscopic scale, are theresult of complex nonlinear interactions, the ensemble actions of very large and het-erogeneous neuronal populations.

Van der Waals (vdW) materials offer a perspective to revolutionize basically every facet of nowadays technology with a new generation of atomically thin devices. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are a family of vdW crystals, that includes several semiconducting materials with band gaps within the optical range. [...]
