  • Covalent organic frameworks (COF) hold great promise in filtration and separation but combining facile processing, high crystallinity and high separation performance remains challenging. Here, the authors demonstrate that heterocrystalline COF membranes in which high-crystalline regions are tightly linked by low-crystalline regions can improve molecular sieving properties at high solvent flux.

  • Although polymers have been studied for well over a century, there are few examples of covalently linked polymer crystals synthesized directly from solution. Here, the authors demonstrate a strategy to synthesize single crystalline 1D metallo-covalent organic frameworks by combining dynamic covalent chemistry and metal-ligand coordination.

  • Membrane technology holds great promise in separating monovalent cations but the sub-nanometer ion size and the small difference in ion size makes separation of monovalent cations a challenging task. Here, the authors demonstrate the efficient separation of monovalent cations using a COF membrane.

  • Control of atoms with single-atom precision is a key challenge in nanoscience. Now an electron beam approach to engineer shielded metal atoms in transition metal dichalcogenides is proposed. This method can create diverse atomic vacancies, leading to interesting magnetic and electronic properties.

  • Perturbations in ribosome biogenesis affect development and increase cancer susceptibility. Here, the authors show that hCINAP is required for 18S rRNA processing, is highly expressed in cancers, and promotes cancer cell growth by upregulating the translation of cancer-associated genes.

  • Insulating molecular layers on the basal plane of 2D perovskite is a major bottleneck for charge injection that limiting device performance. Here, the authors show that plane-contacted graphene functions as a low barrier and gate-tunable contact to overcome this limitation.

  • 2D transition metal ditellurides exhibit nontrivial topological phases, but the controlled bottom-up synthesis of these materials is still challenging. Here, the authors report the layer-by-layer growth of large-area bilayer and trilayer 1T’ MoTe2 films, showing thickness-dependent ferroelectricity and nonlinear Hall effect.

  • The practical application of single atom catalyst (SAC) in liquid-phase heterogeneous catalysis is hampered by the productivity bottleneck as well as catalyst leaching. Here, a bench-top, fast-flow reactor integrated with Pt1-MoS2 SAC was fabricated for continuous production of multifunctional anilines (28 examples) at a record productivity of 5.8 g h-1.

  • Cells are complex systems that make decisions biologists struggle to understand. Here, the authors use neural networks to approximate the solution of mathematical models that capture the history and randomness of biochemical processes in order to understand the principles of transcription control.

  • The surface octahedral tilt in exfoliated 2D perovskites is directly visualized by STM and the degree of the tilt varies with the number of layers of inorganic slabs and result in different amounts of excitonic red shift in photoluminescence.
