Electron holography allows the selective orbital occupation and spatial quantum confinement of electrons at the interface between two oxide insulators to be resolved.
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.
A self-assembled modular siRNA delivery platform enables the construction of a theoretically unlimited repertoire of carriers to target distinct cell surface receptors in the service of personalized medicine.
Layer-stacking domain walls in bi- and trilayer graphene are engineered individually and moved, erased and mechanically split by means of an atomic force microscope tip.
Formation of a homogeneous two-dimensional electron gas in transition metal dichalcogenide heterostructures allows for efficient electrical control of charge carriers and excitons.
Nanowire devices exhibiting ballistic transport show characteristics of Majorana modes, ruling out alternative explanations other than topological superconductivity.
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.
Single-molecule force spectroscopy shows that donor–acceptor synthetic oligorotaxanes possess a more robust and dynamic response to external loads than natural proteins.
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.
