An intermediate phase steers the preferential {100} orientation of evaporated perovskites, securing long-term device stability for perovskite photovoltaics.
Rolling two-dimensional materials into one-dimensional nanoscrolls unlocks tunable emergent properties; however, existing methods rely on external forces. Now, intrinsically driven scrolling in polar two-dimensional materials mediated by out-of-plane electric polarization is reported, establishing a platform for the design of functional nanoscrolls.
Ribbon-based morphing structures form multistable shape morphologies, enabling the design of soft machines that merge simple fabrication with dynamic and versatile motion.
Replacing traditional PEG-lipids in lipid nanoparticle formulations with zwitterionic polymer–lipid and brush polymer–lipid conjugates offers enhanced intracellular delivery and reduced immunogenicity, making them promising alternatives to PEGylated nanoparticles.
A plasmonic printing technology is developed to enable rapid, room-temperature, scalable fabrication of all-metal oxide thin-film transistors and circuits.
Deep learning-based generative tools are used to design protein building blocks with well-defined directional protein bonding interactions, allowing for the generation of a variety of scalable protein assemblies from a small set of reusable subunits.
Delayed femtosecond photoemission from a single-walled carbon nanotube enables pulsed electron beams with an unprecedented combination of pulse duration and energy spread.
This Review discusses recent advances in afterglow materials for biomedical applications, the distinct imaging modalities that these agents enable and strategies to optimize their properties for improved disease diagnosis and therapies.
Terahertz technology has the potential to push the speed limit of future opto-electronic applications, but the large free-space wavelength of terahertz light hinders nanoscale device implementation. Now, the confinement of terahertz light to the nanometre scale is demonstrated using phonon polaritons in hafnium-based van der Waals crystals.
Extracellular matrix remodelling and densification are hallmarks of fibrosis that have been challenging to study ex vivo. Visible light-induced dityrosine crosslinking of native matrix proteins in viable lung tissues has now been shown to recapitulate local stiffening that characterizes early lung injury. This stiffening led to aberrant alveolar epithelial cell differentiation, mechanosensing and nascent protein deposition.
The brine network in common sea ice boosts its flexoelectric response by three orders of magnitude, matching high-quality piezoelectrics and pointing to cost-effective energy harvesters for cold environments.
By tuning and mapping Josephson currents at the atomic scale, researchers uncover how competing superconducting phases in FeSe interfere, revealing the fingerprints of s±-wave pairing and frustrated Josephson coupling.
