Synchronization of oscillators can be used to carry out cognitive tasks. Large two-dimensional arrays of synchronized spin Hall nano-oscillators have now been demonstrated, and may in future enable neuromorphic computing on the nanoscale.
Nanoscale heat currents between a hot and a cold surface can be modulated by as much as five times using a third element that interacts evanescently with the guided modes of the hot surface.
Tellurium thin films thermally evaporated at cryogenic temperatures enable the fabrication of high-performance wafer-scale p-type field-effect transistors and three-dimensional circuits.
The fluorination of graphene sheets in bilayer graphene grown by chemical vapour deposition on a single-crystal CuNi(111) surface results in a fluorinated diamond monolayer.
Enzyme-coated liposomal motors show either positive or negative chemotaxis depending on the interplay between enzyme catalysis and solute–phospholipid interactions.
Nitric oxide delivered and released by a nanoscale carrier improves the therapeutic effectiveness of chemotherapeutics and immunotherapy by normalizing tumour vasculature.
An antifouling coating for electrodes that consists of a three-dimensional porous matrix of cross-linked bovine serum albumin supported by a network of conductive nanomaterials enables robust affinity-based electrochemical biosensing in complex biological fluids.
A comprehensive understanding of the magnetic phase diagram of atomically thin layered antiferromagnets is obtained by combining systematic tunnelling magnetoconductance measurements with theoretical modelling.
Transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers can host Ising-type superconductivity and if two such layers are coupled, exotic superconducting phases may emerge. Here, the authors induce a coupled superconducting state with tuneable Ising protection by means of symmetric, double-side ionic liquid gating.
A pH-responsive, soft polymeric nanoparticle targets the neurokinin 1 receptor in acidified endosomes to inhibit signalling events leading to chronic pain.
A non-precious metal cobalt phosphide hydrogen evolution catalyst is found to be active and durable in a commercial-scale polymer electrolyte membrane electrolyser.
Lithium whisker growth can be suppressed under mechanical constraints, as revealed by an experimental set-up combining an environmental transmission electron microscope and an atomic force microscope.
Subpicosecond spin-exchange Auger interactions realized in manganese-doped quantum dots allow for manipulating hot carriers before their intraband cooling.
A tenfold difference in the frequency of translocation events is observed when protein molecules are passed in the forward and reverse direction through a naked truncated pyramidal silicon nanopore. The electro-osmotic vortex–protein interaction is found to determine the rectification.
The mechanistic electrochemical mass spectrometry study of ethylene production on Cu-based nanocatalysts under CO2/CO co-feeds indicates the existence of separate, non-scrambling reactant-specific surface adsorption sites for CO2 and CO, which provides guidance for the design of CO2 reduction reaction electrocatalysts.
A new DNA logic circuits architecture based on single-stranded logic gates and strand-displacing DNA polymerase requires less computation time and fewer DNA strands.
