  Metastable hexagonal close-packed palladium hydride in liquid cell TEM

  A metastable palladium hydride is synthesized where the unique environment in the liquid cell, namely the limited quantity of Pd precursors and the continuous supply of H, resulted in the formation of the hcp phase.

  Deep strong light–matter coupling in plasmonic nanoparticle crystals

  Photons and plasmons hybridize into polaritons in three-dimensional crystals of plasmonic nanoparticles, leading to deep strong light–matter coupling and the breakdown of the Purcell effect.

  Gram-scale bottom-up flash graphene synthesis

  Flash Joule heating of inexpensive carbon sources is used to produce gram-scale quantities of high-quality graphene in under a second, without the need for a furnace, solvents or reactive gases.

  Design and synthesis of multigrain nanocrystals via geometric misfit strain

  Heteroepitaxy is used to precisely control the growth of Mn₃O₄ shells on the faces of a Co₃O₄ nanocube crystal, producing uniform grain boundary defects and highly ordered multigrain nanostructures.

  Confinement of atomically defined metal halide sheets in a metal–organic framework

  The pore space in the metal–organic framework Zr₆O₄(OH)₄(bpydc)₆ can be used as a scaffold to grow precisely defined atomically thick sheets of metal halide materials, taking advantage of multiple binding sites to direct complexation of the metal ions; these metal halide nanosheets fill the size gap between discrete molecular magnets and bulk magnetic materials, with potentially unusual magnetic properties arising from this size regime.

  Amino-acid- and peptide-directed synthesis of chiral plasmonic gold nanoparticles

  Chirality can be ‘encoded’ into gold nanoparticles by introducing chiral amino acids or peptides during the growth process, leading to the formation of helicoid morphologies.
