Picosecond quantum transients have been traced to nanotwinning superlattices in bulk FAPbI3 films, using a combination of ultrafast spectroscopy and microscopy.
Practical application of portable, mechanical-energy-driven water disinfection technologies has, to date, been limited. Now, a portable, disinfection system is developed based on the generation of a nanoscale interfacial electric field through manual agitation. The system can achieve 99.9999% inactivation of Vibrio cholerae within 1 min and demonstrates broad-spectrum disinfection against various pathogens.
This Review establishes a roadmap to improve the sustainability of functional ceramics through a holistic approach that combines low-energy and low-CO2 production methods, recycling strategies and supportive policy frameworks.
Hong–Ou–Mandel experiments on a quantum photonic chip demonstrate on-chip quantum interference of indistinguishable single photons with visibilities exceeding 0.97 for two molecules separately coupled to two waveguides.
The epitaxial growth of hyperdoped Ga:Ge films and trilayer heterostructures by molecular-beam epitaxy yield superconductivity with a critical temperature of 3.5 K and may enable quantum functionalities in this material system, which is accessible with well-established semiconductor technologies.
In a hybrid superconductor–ferromagnet device, the dynamic stray fields of current-driven vortices unidirectionally excite coherent short-wavelength magnons.
Formamidinium lead iodide perovskite films exhibit picosecond-scale quantum transients (~2 ps), with their nanoscale superlattices defining energy levels that yield narrow emission lines and reveal the structure–emission relationship.
A gallium-based, iron-embedded liquid metal catalyst enables reversible, magnetic-field-controlled switching between atomically dispersed and clustered iron states, achieving tunable production of CH₃OOH and CH₃COOH under ambient conditions.
By carefully dispersing small amounts of Ir into the RuO2 lattice, a Ru₆IrOₓ catalyst reduces Ir usage by 80% while still running stably for over 1,500 h at 2 A cm−2 in both laboratory- and industrial-scale proton-exchange membrane water electrolysers.
A manually operated portable water disinfection system can rapidly inactivate pathogens in water, offering a promising approach for safe water treatment in low-resource settings.
Using supramolecular chemistry principles, thermodynamically metastable, yet kinetically stable, poly(disulfide)s with tunable mechanical properties can be recycled into crystalline monomers with quantitative yields and monomer purity >90%.
Actuators based on DNA–inorganic hybrid crystals reversibly change shape, which can be programmed by the length and composition of the DNA polymer, and induce cascaded reactions of compartmentalized enzymes in response to external stimuli.
The rigid-to-soft transformation and imperceptible, morphology-adaptable nature of a hydrogel–elastomer adhesive bilayer based on ionic–electronic conductive nanomembranes enable the real-time stable monitoring of electrophysiological signals in vivo.
