A thin-film engineering method is employed to preserve high pressure solids in diamond capsules at ambient conditions, enabling tunable preserved pressures, controllable particle size, atomic-scale characterization, and potential large-scale uses.

Authors report the entropy-modulated atomic ripple structure in Nb2CTe-based MXenes, realizing the controllable adjustment of electrical properties.

The recent experimental creation of magnetic skyrmions, topologically protected particle-like spin textures, has inspired proposals for their application in nanodevices. Here, the authors use Lorentz transmission electron microscopy to demonstrate edge-mediated skyrmion chain formation in FeGe nanostripes.

Sliding ferroelectricity with finite conductance can yield ferroelectric hysteresis with concomitant Coulomb screening in monolayer graphene containing van der Waals heterostructures of various compositions.

The authors find the coexistence of ferroelectric and antiferroelectric states induced by chiral degeneracy in helical magnetic order in trilayer NiI₂, along with the emergence of exotic magnetoelectric coupling.

The lack of information on the ferroelectric ___domain walls motion characteristics in α-In₂Se₃ hampers the understanding of the ferroelectric semiconductor junction device mechanism. Here, the authors report that the stacking order of van der Waals α-In₂Se₃ determines its ferroelectric ___domain wall type and phase transition pathway.

Most 2D magnets support only a single skyrmion phase. Here, the authors observe two distinct topological phases: Bloch and hybrid skyrmions, with high thermostability in the room-temperature ferromagnet Fe₃GaTe₂.

Here, the authors report the synthesis and characterization of doped nanoporous graphene superlattices, showing their improved properties for electromagnetic shielding, energy harvesting, optoelectronic and thermoelectric applications.

The mechanism of peroxidase-like Fe₃O₄ nanozymes remains elusive. Here, the authors show the electron transfer mechanism of Fe(II) ions to regenerate surface Fe(II) and the related phase transformation and depletion of activity.

One-dimensional materials have interesting physiochemical properties, but control over porosity is still a significant challenge. Here, the authors report a self-assembly method for the fabrication of 1D materials with an ordered mesostructure.

Using Lorentz transmission electron microscopy, one of the first direct observations of topological spin texture is described, in the pseudogap phase of a high-temperature cuprate superconductor based on YBa₂Cu₃O_6+x.

The electromagnetic (EM) energy released by electronic devices in the environment is largely wasted and contributes to EM pollution. Here, the authors report the synthesis of staggered circular nanoporous graphene enabling the absorption and conversion of EM waves into electricity via the thermoelectric effect.

Future magnetic memory technologies may be based on the manipulation of skyrmions, nanoscale topologically stable circulating magnetization textures arising in chiral magnets. Here, the authors explore the behaviour of skyrmion clusters in nanowires with widths comparable to the single-skyrmion scale.

Cd₃As₂, which is known as a topological Dirac semimetal, has been grown on mica substrates by molecular beam epitaxy with high mobility. The temperature-dependent resistance of as-grown Cd₃As₂ thin films showed semiconducting behavior, indicating the band gap opening as opposed to the bulk counterpart. By solid electrolyte gating, the ambipolar effect and gate-tunable quantum oscillations were clearly demonstrated. These features make the Cd₃As₂ thin film system a promising platform to observe various exotic phenomena and realize new electronic applications.
