A graphene-based Josephson junction incorporated in a superconducting circuit forms a voltage-tunable transmon qubit that can be controlled coherently.
Electrical damage of insulating polypropylene can be healed by heating surface-functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles dispersed in the polymer with oscillating magnetic fields, which activates nanoparticle diffusion and local melting of the damaged regions.
The long-range magnetic order in an artificial crystal that exhibits emergent ferrotoroidicity on the mesoscale can be manipulated by an effective magnetic vortex field that is generated by a scanning process with a magnetic tip.
A gel with therapeutic nanoformulation that can be sprayed at the tumour resection site after surgery activates immune response in the tissue microenviroment, inhibiting tumour recurrence and potential metastasis.
A nanotweezer system based on dielectrophoresis can trap, manipulate and extract biomolecules and organelles in living cells at physiological conditions with high spatiotemporal resolution and minimal invasiveness.
A DNA-based nanosensor that simultaneously measures pH and chloride concentrations can chemically resolve different subpopulations of lysosomes in live cells derived from healthy individuals and patients with Niemann–Pick disease.
Reactive polyiodide melt-assisted conversion of metallic lead nanolayers into hybrid lead halide films opens a new branch of scalable technologies for perovskite photovoltaics.
Thanks to its topological properties, a CMOS-compatible photonic crystal shows reflectionless transmission of light at telecommunication wavelengths even along a path with sharp turns.
A set of in situ and operando techniques, as well as gravimetric and microscopic investigations are used to characterize the formation of the solid–electrolyte interphase in a Li-ion battery.
The nuclear spin of individual atoms is polarized by the tunnelling current from a scanning tunnelling microscope tip, enabling nuclear magnetic resonance to sense the local magnetic environment.
Two Si resonators couple through a non-Hermitian interaction to sense both the intensity and the incident angle of light with subwavelength resolution.
