Nickelate superconductivity has so far been limited to thin films, raising questions about the role of the polar substrate–film interface. Here the authors utilize advanced characterization techniques to reveal the interfacial atomic structure and its relevance for superconductivity.
Redox-active non-conjugated radical polymers are promising candidates for metal-free aqueous batteries but their energy storage mechanism in an aqueous environment remains unclear. The role of the electrolyte in such polymers for designing metal-free aqueous energy storage electrodes is now elucidated.
Optically detected magnetic resonance of nitrogen vacancy centres in diamond enables the detection of pressure-induced phase transitions, but interpreting their magnetic resonance spectra remains challenging. Here the authors propose implanted silicon vacancy defects in 4H-SiC for in situ magnetic phase detection at high pressures.
A curvature-sensing antiviral peptide is repurposed to disrupt tumour-derived exosomes and used in combination with immune checkpoint blockade cancer therapy.
The authors propose a method for the scalable manufacturing of metalenses using deep-ultraviolet argon fluoride immersion lithography and wafer-scale nanoimprint lithography, opening a route towards their low-cost, high-throughput mass production.
Subcentimetre-size black phosphorous and its alloy films have been achieved on conventional substrates through sustained feedstock release design, and exhibit high crystalline quality and composition-dependent bandgap tunability.
RNA-based therapeutics hold promise for the treatment of several diseases. This Review provides an overview of hydrogels for RNA delivery, discussing how the chemical nature and physical properties of hydrogels can be explored for tailored RNA loading and release, and highlighting the use of these materials in biomedical applications.
A bioengineered model incorporating a synthetic extracellular matrix recapitulates the lymphoid tumour microenvironment, making it a valuable tool for drug testing and designing personalized therapies.
Vibrational spectroscopy now allows for the exploration of lattice vibrational properties at the chemical-bond level, revealing the impact of chemical-bonding configurations and atomic mass on local phonon modes in graphene with a new level of sensitivity.
A hydrogel-based modular lymphoma organoid identifies how lymphoid microenvironment cues dampen the effect of MALT1 inhibitors and informs effective combination therapies to rescue the treatment response
We report the observation of narrowband terahertz emission from a quasi-one-dimensional charge-density-wave insulator, (TaSe4)2I. The origin of the emitted radiation is interpreted as a phason that obtains mass due to the long-range Coulomb interaction.
Large-size single-crystal van der Waals layered Bi2SeO5 has been synthesized with a high dielectric constant and high breakdown field strength for two-dimensional electronics applications.
The authors report on the emergence of intercell moiré exciton complexes where, in H-stacked WS2/WSe2 heterobilayers, the exciton’s hole from the WSe2 layer is surrounded by its bound electron’s wavefunction distributed among three adjacent moiré traps in the WS2 layer exhibiting an out-of-plane dipole and in-plane quadrupole.
The authors demonstrate optically induced ultrafast magnetization reversal taking place within less than a picosecond in rare-earth-free spin valves of [Pt/Co]/Cu/[Co/Pt].
The authors present scanning tunnelling spectroscopy data that show that the mechanism of superconductivity in overdoped cuprate superconductors is qualitatively different from conventional mean-field theory.
