Abstract With their atomic precision and synthetically tailorable properties, molecules offer new possibilities for emerging computing, sensing, optical and quantum technologies. However, the scalable, damage-free integration of molecules into active devices with atomic-scale control remains a critical challenge due to incompatibility with existing top-down fabrication processes.

Abstract Introduction: Early identification of advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD), a condition accompanied by profound metabolic and endocrine disturbances, is essential for timely nephrology referral and intervention. However, widely used risk equations often require albuminuria or repeated measurements that are not consistently available in routine clinical practice.

Abstract Pristine van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures formed between two-dimensional (2D) and other materials can be used to create optical and electronic devices. However, the weak vdW forces alone do not allow direct physical stacking of arbitrary layers. As a result, vdW heterostructure fabrication typically requires solvents, sacrificial layers or high temperatures, which can introduce damage and contaminants.
