The largest available database of potentially exfoliable 2D materials has been obtained via high-throughput calculations using van der Waals density functional theory.
Integrating the Pancharatnam–Berry phase with integrated resonant nanoantennas in a metalens design produces an achromatic device capable of full-colour imaging in the visible range in transmission mode.
Single magnetic skyrmions are electrically detected in magnetic multilayers at room temperature, and their main contribution to the signal, which is enhanced for tracks approaching the size of the skyrmions, comes from the anomalous—rather than topological—Hall effect.
Mapping a moiré pattern in a lateral lattice-mismatched WSe2–MoS2 heterojunction enables determination of the full strain tensor and the study of strain-induced electronic properties.
Metagenomic analysis of activated sludge dosed with gold nanoparticles reveals that nanoparticle morphology imposes a greater force in shaping microbial community structure than surface coating.
Controlling the geometry of each dielectric element of a nanostructured surface enables frequency-dependent group delay and group delay dispersion engineering, and the fabrication of an achromatic metalens for imaging in the visible in transmission.
