Light scattering spectra are acquired in the near field to map dipole–dipole interactions and extract all their vectorial components with 5-nm spatial resolution.
Metallic lithium wets a functionalized mesoporous carbon film to create a self-smoothing anode that, in conjunction with a standard lithium nickel–manganese–cobalt cathode, delivers long cycling life, 350 Wh kg−1 high-energy cells under realistic conditions.
Lithium transition metal oxide cathodes can degrade under high-voltage conditions by a redox mechanism by which oxygen vacancies form at the surface and migrate towards the bulk.
Embedding GaAs quantum dots in broadband photonic nanostructures allows a source of entangled photons to be fabricated with simultaneous enhancements of the most important parameters.
Current pulses of 105 A cm−2 can control the orientation of 100-nm-wide stripe domains in La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 and spin waves of 10 GHz can propagate along these domains with a group velocity of 2.6 km s−1.
Ionic Coulomb blockade in nanochannels is shown to be a consequence of a second Wien effect, resulting from the dissociation of Bjerrum pairs that are formed under confinement.
A specifically designed family of synthetic lipids exhibits unique liquid-crystalline behaviour at low temperature, enabling maintenance of amorphous water down to about 10 K due to nanoconfinement.
Administration of the clinically approved iron oxide nanoparticle drug ferumoxytol in vitro results in an anti-leukaemia effect and in vivo extended overall survival in part due to the low expression of the iron export protein ferroportin.
Overcrowded alkene-based motors are made part of the crystalline structure of a metal–organic framework. It is shown that they retain the same rotatory speed and unidirectionality as in solution.
A vertical, electrolyte-gated organic transistor shows high on-state current densities, large on/off ratio and the potential for use in artificial neural networks.
A scanning single-electron transistor-based method enables simultaneous visualization of voltage and current density of flowing electrons in two-dimensional systems with high sensitivity and minimal invasiveness
Miniaturized gold nanorods are reliable NIR-II photoacoustic agents, showing higher photothermal stability, enhanced photoacoustic signal and more efficient agent-to-tumour delivery compared with their larger counterparts.
Semipermeable proteinosome membranes allow complex DNA message communication through compartmentalization and protect the DNA circuits from degradation in a biological environment.
High aspect ratio nanomaterials enable efficient delivery of DNA into mature plant cells in a species-independent and non-integrating manner for plant genetic engineering applications.
Sub-micrometre spin waves are excited in anisotropic spin textures and they can propagate as 2D plane waves over several micrometres and as 1D waves along curved domain walls.
Inhibiting POLR2A expression upon siRNA delivery represents a promising therapeutic strategy for triple negative breast cancers characterized by p53 inactivation.
Chitosan-functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes enable selective gene delivery to the chloroplasts of mature living plants without external mechanical aid.
