Fermi-level depinning achieved by high-work-function Au1-xSex alloy contacts for high-performance p-type WSe2 transistors
Fermi level depinning by Au1-xSex alloy Before presenting the experimental results, we first show DFT calculations of the electronic structure of the proposed approach (see Methods for calculation details). Figure 1a displays the atomically projected band structure of 3-layer Au1-xSex in contact with a monolayer WSe2, where x = 0.10 for the specific model presented. Compared to the case of a pure Au contacted with WSe2 (Fig. 1b), the WSe2 exhibits a notable hole doping effect after made contact with Au1-xSex alloy. Specifically, as seen from Fig. 1a, the Au0.90Se0.10–WSe2 contact gives rise to a notable downward shift of the Fermi level (EF) towards the…
Helium Mobile Acquired By Noble Mobile As DePIN Coverage Expands
Noble Mobile acquires Helium Mobilegiving Andrew Yang’s wireless carrier control of one of cryptocurrency’s most visible consumer DePIN products while keeping the Helium network within the service. The deal also brings Noble Mobile to the Helium network. This means Noble subscribers will have access to Helium-powered wireless coverage across the United States, expanding the network’s role beyond Helium Mobile’s own customer base. Existing Helium Mobile subscribers are not forced into a disruptive migration. Phone numbers, service, SIM setup, Helium Mobile app and current coverage are set to stay in place. Subscribers will continue to use the same nationwide 5G and…

Most DePIN pitches start with the token. @Acurast starts wit
Most DePIN offers start with a token. @Acurast starts with the hardware: your dead phone in a drawer, now clocked by real uptime and performance instead of just plugging it in and hoping. What stands out is the pricing based on the standard. Devices don’t set their own computing prices anymore, the network links them to the actual performance of the devices. This is a small shift, but it means that inactivity is not beneficial.
Bitcoin Tops $82,000 as PayFi Rises While RWA and DePIN Fall
Bitcoin (BTC) rose 0.89% to surpass $82,000, while Ethereum (ETH) rose 0.45% and traded near $2,400. The sector snapshot showed mixed movements, with PayFi up 1.12% over the 24-hour period. Monero (XMR) rose 2.37%, and Zcash (ZEC) rose 2.32%. Tier 1 and centralized finance (CeFi) advanced 0.48%, while decentralized finance (DeFi) rose 0.14%.

Top DePIN Coins to Watch in 2026
The top five DePIN coins to watch in 2026 are five Decentralized physical infrastructure networks Led by Grass (GRASS), which jumped 25.98% in a single day in mid-October on Phemex. Next comes io.net (IO), then Internet Computer (ICP), Filecoin (FIL), and Render (RENDER). Each one pays people tokens for real-world devices and connections. This was the largest gain among 301 Phemex spot and futures markets on the day, when the market average rose 0.96% and Bitcoin did the same. Four of those five finished in the top 11. The jump was harder as trading was thinner, and the IO spot…
