  Mastering thermal transport across carbon nanotube contacts through morphological control

  Thermally conductive nanomaterials are promising for applications in thermal management. Here, morphological control of the van der Waals contact between carbon nanotubes, by adjustment of contact positions, overlapping length, and crossing angles, allows the authors to elucidate the interfacial thermal transport and optimize heat flow at the nanoscale.

  Spatially-resolved insulator-metal transition for rewritable optical gratings

  Optical gratings are typically composed of periodic grooves, but these suffer from issues with light scattering and are fragile. Here, a groove-less WO₃ grating is demonstrated, which uses electron-proton synergistic doping to spatially tune a rewritable insulator-metal transition and coloration.
