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.

Abstract Despite remarkable progress in the development of halide perovskite materials and devices, their integration into nanoscale optoelectronics has been hindered by a lack of control over nanoscale patterning. Owing to their tendency to degrade rapidly, perovskites suffer from chemical incompatibility with conventional lithographic processes.
