A spin-polarized current responsible for the planar Hall effect and anisotropic magnetoresistance is found to generate large antidamping spin–orbit torque in normal metal/ferromagnet/normal metal trilayers.
An array of Au nanocubes combined with a planar mirror simultaneously induces single-photon emitters at lithographically defined locations in WSe2 and enables directional outcoupling of Purcell-enhanced single photons with high quantum yield.
Spikes on the surface of TiO2 microparticles, mimicking the nanotopological structures found on pathogens, boost the immune response in animal models and can be used to enhance the immunogenic effect of vaccines and adjuvants.
Mixing antigens with liposomes containing cobalt porphyrin leads to the spontaneous formation of a malaria nanovaccine with increased uptake by phagocytic antigen-presenting cells, boosting the production of long-lasting functional antibodies in mice and rabbits.
A photosynthetic biohybrid system based on non-photosynthetic bacteria that incorporate gold nanoclusters achieves faster electron transfer and more durable solar CO2 fixation.
The striped polarization domains in a BiFeO3/TbScO3 heterostructure induce alternating p- and n-type doping at the interface, giving rise to strongly anisotropic in-plane conductance.
Ferrimagnetic Gd44Co56 near the compensation temperature enables domain wall motion with a speed of 1.3 km s–1 and room temperature skyrmions with diameters close to 10 nm.
The group velocity and frequency of propagation of elastic waves in the radio-frequency domain can be controlled dynamically using arrays of nanoelectromechanical oscillators.
Neutrophil membrane-coated nanoparticles reduce neutrophil-mediated inflammation in animal models of rheumatoid arthritis by acting as decoy devices and interacting with immunoregulatory agents targeted towards these cells.
Experimental observation of intersubband transitions in van der Waals quantum wells is enabled by high spatial resolution imaging through near-field optical microscopy.
An ultrasensitive miRNA sensor based on gold-coated magnetic nanoparticles modified with redox-labelled probe DNA is capable of detecting miRNA at a concentration of 10 aM to 1 nM in unprocessed blood, and following tumour-induced variation in miRNA levels.
Self-reconstruction of conducting nanostructures assisted by a dynamically crosslinked polymer network enables the fabrication of autonomous self-healable and stretchable multi-component electronic skin.
Active dielectric nanoantenna arrays exhibit low-threshold and high-quality-factor directional lasing achieved via a leaky resonance excited in coupled gallium arsenide (GaAs) nanopillars.
Gold nanoparticles typically considered inert in oxic waters accumulate in freshwater wetland subaquatic plants and are completely biotransformed to oxidized Au species by the associated cyanogenic biofilm.
