  • Recently, signatures of quantum spin liquid have been reported in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides. Here the authors report evidence of such state in 1T-NbSe2 via the measurements of the Kondo effect in a 1T-1H heterostructure, further supported by measurements for magnetic molecules on 1T-NbSe2.

  • Here the authors experimentally demonstrate the anomalous and Chern topological phases in a hyperbolic non-reciprocal scattering network, establishing unidirectional channels to induce new and exciting wave transport properties in curved spaces.

  • The authors theoretically propose a simple microscopic mechanism for light-induced superconductivity based on a boson coupled to an electronic interband transition. The electron-electron attraction needed for the superconductivity can be resonantly amplified when the boson’s frequency is close to the energy difference between the two electronic bands. The model can be engineered using a 2D heterostructure.

  • Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) lacks precise diagnostic and monitoring methods due to limited biomarkers. Here the authors develop a lectin-based thermophoretic assay (EVLET) that combines vibrating membrane filtration and thermophoretic amplification for efficient extracellular vesicle (EV) glycan profiling in the plasma of TNBC patients, enabling non-invasive cancer management by leveraging EV glycans.

  • Developing clinically predictive model systems for evaluating gene transfer and gene editing technologies has become increasingly important. This study introduces human liver ex situ normothermic perfusion as a model to evaluate gene therapy vectors, paving the way for advanced liver disease treatment.

  • Fungi have the potential to produce sustainable foods for a growing population, but current products are based on a small number of strains with inherent limitations. Here, the authors develop genetic tools for an edible fungus and engineer its nutritional value and sensory appeal for alternative meat applications.

  • Strongly interacting interlayer excitons and the interplay between excitons and electronic states have recently been studied in moire superlattices. Here the authors study moire WS2/WSe2 heterobilayer with tuneable electron and exciton populations and find signatures of an excitonic Mott insulating state.

  • Ion trapping has been found to be responsible for the performance degradation in electrochromic oxide thin films. This paper visualizes ion trapping and detrapping dynamics, and provides a general picture of electrochromism in amorphous WO3.

  • The global atlas of unburnable oil shows that the most socio-environmentally sensitive areas, such as protected areas or biodiversity hotspots, need to be kept entirely off-limits to oil extraction in order to keep global warming under 1.5 °C.

  • The detrimental effects of intragrain impurity nanoclusters on the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells remain unexplored. Here, the authors study the intragrain impurity annihilation by in situ scanning transmission electron microscopy and adopt a laser stimulus to heal such impurity.

  • Antibiotic heteroresistance, in which a susceptible bacterial population includes a small resistant subpopulation, can arise by tandem amplification of resistance genes, which often carry fitness costs. Here, Pal and Andersson show that these fitness costs can be ameliorated by the acquisition of compensatory mutations and a reduction in copy number of the resistance genes.
