Quantification of structural disorder and electron localization in superlattices of colloidal nanocrystals shows that minimizing variations in size and epitaxial connections is key to enhance the electronic properties of these materials.
Bismuth iodide Bi4I4, composed of quasi-one-dimensional molecular chains, was theoretically predicted and now has been experimentally verified to be a novel strong topological insulator.
A spool-and-ribbon cell-culture approach provides quick and easy access to the interior of engineered tumours for the analysis of cell responses to molecular gradients.
Different experimental studies based on nuclear magnetic resonance and inelastic neutron scattering reach opposing conclusions regarding the origin of magnetic nematicity in iron chalcogenides.
The role of surface ligands in tuning the optoelectronic properties, controlling the stability and determining the performance in applications of colloidal nanocrystals is discussed in this Review.
