For magnetic ___domain-wall devices, key issue to be addressed is nonstochastic displacement of magnetic ___domain wall. Here, authors report ___domain-wall control with a position error-free scheme via spin-orbit torque modulation along nanotrack devices.

We report full-colour, vertically stacked µLEDs that achieve exceptionally high array density (5,100 pixels per inch) and small size (4 µm) via a 2D material-based layer transfer technique, allowing the creation of full-colour µLED displays for augmented and virtual reality.

Competition between different possible ground states of strongly correlated electron systems can lead to the emergence of mixed states called microemulsions. Now this phenomenon is reported at the melting transition of a Wigner crystal.

Monolithic 3D integration of electronics based on fully 2D materials is demonstrated in the performance of artificial intelligence tasks.

Stretchable radio-frequency electronics based on a dielectro-elastic elastomer is demonstrated to be capable of completely maintaining operating frequencies unaffected by strain and shows superior electrical, mechanical and thermal properties compared with conventional stretchable substrate materials.

Geometric confinement on arbitrary substrates promotes, without epitaxial seeding, the layer-by-layer growth of two-dimensional single-crystal monolayers and bilayers of transition metal dichalcogenides.

By using optoelectronic device arrays for chip-to-chip communication and neuromorphic cores based on memristor crossbar arrays for highly parallel data processing, reconfigurable and stackable hetero-integrated chips can be created for use in edge computing applications.

Epitaxy on nanopatterned graphene enables the realization of a broad spectrum of freestanding single-crystalline membranes with substantially reduced defects.

The mechanism underlying neuroinflammation in X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is poorly understood. Here authors identify aberrant production of 25-hydroxycholesterol (25-HC) in ALD patient-derived cells, and show that 25-HC mediates neuroinflammation via activating the NLRP3 inflammasome.

Domain-resolved spectroscopy reveals the impact of local atomic registry and crystal symmetry on the exciton properties of individual domains in near-0°-twist-angle MoSe₂/MoSe₂.

Integration of diverse nanostructures allows the fabrication of a wearable system capable of storing data, performing diagnostics and delivering drugs.

Transport measurements and calculations show that WTe₂ may be a higher-order topological insulator with topological hinge states.

Ultrathin transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) hold promise for next-generation lightweight photovoltaics. Here, the authors demonstrate the first flexible high power-per-weight TMD solar cells with notably improved power conversion efficiency.

Andersen et al. have demonstrated a new type of beam steering device based on the excitonic response of an atomically thin semiconductor. Using electrostatic gates, the authors achieved tunable steering with switching times on the nanosecond scale.

Pulsed doses of antibiotics increased the incidence of type 1 diabetes in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice. This was associated with altered gut microbial composition, lipid metabolism, host cholesterol biosynthetic gene expression and Th17 and Treg cell proportions.

The histone methyltransferase ASH1L plays a role in various diseases, including cancer, and has been validated as a therapeutic target; however, no inhibitors of ASH1L have been reported. Here the authors present small molecule inhibitors of ASH1L and demonstrate their on-target activity in leukemia cells and a mouse model of leukemia.

Optical signatures reveal correlated insulating Wigner crystals—electron solids—in a bilayer of a two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide, MoSe₂, with hexagonal boron nitride between the layers.

Scanning electron microscopy is used to image stacking domains in few-layer graphene, as well as moiré patterns in twisted van der Waals heterostructures, allowing for the correlation of the local structure with their excitonic properties.

A biocompatible device built from naturally dissolving components and controlled by wireless technology enables programmable electrical stimulation of injured rodent peripheral nerves to accelerate regeneration and recovery.

Long-term culture of male embryonic stem cells in naive conditions containing Mek1/2 and Gsk3a/b inhibitors leads to irreversible changes in epigenetic and genomic stability that compromise their in vivo developmental potential.

Brumbaugh, Kim et al. generate mice with inducible H3 K-to-M mutations, which globally inhibit methylation at specific sites, and analyse specific phenotypes and changes in chromatin accessibility and transcriptional programmes.

Konrad Hochedlinger and colleagues show that ascorbic acid enhances cellular reprogramming by preventing hypermethylation of the imprinted Dlk1-Dio3 locus. They use this approach to generate adult mice derived entirely from induced pluripotent stem cells obtained through reprogramming of terminally differentiated B cells.

Building crystal structures into the electron density is an important step in protein structure solution. Here, the authors recruit online game players, students, and experienced crystallographers to compete in a competition to solve a new structure, and find that crowdsourcing model-building works.

Electronic implants are often used in diagnosing and treating human illness, but permanent implants come with problems; here, devices are described that can sense temperature, pressure, pH or thermal characteristics, and—crucially—are fully resorbable by the body.

A rectified Josephson supercurrent is realized in lateral junctions using a proximitized ferromagnetic Pt barrier, with important implications for practical magnetic field free-superconducting spintronics.

3D hybrid-micromesh assisted bioprinting (Hy-MAP) method combines 3D-printed micromesh scaffold structures and sequential hydrogel patterning for multi-cellular coculture models. This method of bioprinting enables rapid cell coculture through the allowance of various methods, including injection, dipping and draining. By using this method, vascularized tumor spheroids were formed by culturing endothelial cells, stromal cell mixtures and tumor spheroids inside separate but adjacent compartments. The novel approach described in this work will provide an alternative method for fabricating mesoscale implantable tissue engineering constructs and organ-on-a-chip applications.
