The deterministic nucleation of single skyrmions at a controlled position along multilayered magnetic racetracks is demonstrated by exploiting spin-orbit torques without the need of in-plane magnetic fields.
A synthetic antibody fragment can disrupt the interaction of a GPCR regulatory protein β-arrestin with clathrin, and thereby inhibit induced internalization of GPCRs.
For the first time, four different double-walled carbon nanotubes were sorted via aqueous gel permeation according to the electronic coupling between the inner and outer wall.
Bottom-up fabrication of GNR heterojunctions exhibiting atomically perfect heterojunction interfaces can be obtained from a single molecular precursor via post-growth modification
A transition from optical transport to quantum confinement, observed in a size-tunable circular graphene p–n junction could enable switching and guiding of Dirac electrons.
Sequential heteroepitaxy of transition-metal dichalcogenide polymorphs with different electronic properties is used to build coplanar ultrathin circuitry with atomic-scale precision.
A thermally activated micromechanical switch delivers an electrical readout signal only when irradiated by a narrowband mid-infrared light, thanks to a metamaterial element that converts light into heat.
The glomerulus can use its glycocalyx layer to precisely control renal clearance and tumour targeting of sub-nm gold nanoclusters with size differences of just a few atoms.
Fast four-colour sequence readout from 20,000-bp-long DNA has been realized at sub-nanogram DNA input based on length-independent, voltage-induced DNA loading into waveguides equipped with nanopores in their floors.
