Identification of active atomic defects in a monolayered tungsten disulphide nanoribbon
The physical and chemical properties of low-dimensional materials, such as nanoribbons, are affected by edge structures and atomic defects. Here, single-atom defects in a monolayered tungsten disulphide nanoribbon are discriminated and the motions of atomic defects are visualized.

Nanoelectromechanical coupling in fullerene peapods probed by resonant electrical transport experiments
Fullerene peapods are carbon nanotubes encapsulating buckyball molecules. Here the authors show by low-temperature electron transport experiments, that the electronic states of nanotubes couple to the vibrational states of fullerenes, making the peapods a new class of nanoelectromechanical devices.
