Shape transformations in microrobots less than 1 mm in size remain challenging. Here the authors present an electronically configurable metasheet microrobot with reprogrammable shapes and locomotory gaits in an electrolytic solution.

Second-order superlattices emerging in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene aligned with hexagonal boron nitride are visualized in real space through cryogenic nano-imaging, revealing the impact of strain and twist-angle variations.

Inspired by non-trivial band topology and the variety of correlated electronic phases in moiré superlattices formed in van der Waals materials, scientists are finding alternative material platforms to exploit the rich phenomena arising from the twist-angle degree of freedom.

The recent landslide election of Labour promises a reset in how UK research is perceived and funded by government.

The generation of attosecond pulses has opened the door to probing electron dynamics at sub-atomic scales. Beyond atomic physics, this field is envisioned to also have a decisive impact on condensed-matter physics, chemistry and biology.

Stacked atomic layers that interact via van der Waals forces offer a confined interlayer space for stabilizing unconventional materials or physical states, enabling a versatile platform for engineering structural configurations and properties at the atomic level.

A synthesis method for large-scale conjugated polymers as well as studies under operational conditions show that research on organic mixed ionic–electronic conductors continues to progress.
