Metal-tip-based electron sources are constrained by a trade-off between energy spread and pulse width. Here the authors report a carbon-nanotube-based electron source with a 0.3-eV energy spread and an electron pulse width of about 13 fs. nature.com/articles/s4156…
A hybrid epoxy–acrylate resin is reported for the digital light processing 3D printing of bioinspired metamaterial structures with precisely patterned hard and soft domains. @ZPageGroup nature.com/articles/s4156…
Comment: Identification of the glassy state in nanoparticles by transmission electron microscopy nature.com/articles/s4156…
Editorial: A Hall lot of effects nature.com/articles/s4156…
Cell migration in confined environments is initiated by a cytoplasmic pool of anillin and Ect2 that promotes RhoA/myosin II-mediated activation at the poles of migrating cells, in a process dependent on the extracellular environment stiffness. nature.com/articles/s4156…
Formation of a stable self-assembled monolayer for high-efficiency perovskite solar cells remains a challenge. Here uniform and stable SAM anchoring is achieved on a hydroxylated ITO surface, leading to highly efficient stable perovskite solar cells. nature.com/articles/s4156…
Here a droplet-driven nanoribbon-to-film growth strategy is reported to achieve amorphous metal chalcogenides at the single-layer limit. nature.com/articles/s4156…
A universal, high-resolution printing technology for metal oxide thin-film transistors is lacking. A plasmonic printing technology fabricates solution-processed all-metal oxide thin-film electronics under room temperature and ambient conditions. nature.com/articles/s4156…
Here the authors resolve the phonon dynamics and band structures of five different self-assembled nanoparticle lattices, revealing the role of nanoscale colloidal interactions in modulating the lattice properties. nature.com/articles/s4156…
The authors use nitrogen-vacancy centre magnetometry to explore layer number and magnetic field evolution of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic domains in the A-type antiferromagnet CrPS4. nature.com/articles/s4156…
A hybrid ECM-hydrogel with tunable mechanical stiffness and biochemical composition of young or aged cardiac tissue is used to identify the specific contributions of ECM ligands and mechanics for fibroblast aging. @nano_jenn nature.com/articles/s4156…
Review: Water uptake of solids and its impact on ion transport nature.com/articles/s4156…
While nanofluidics demonstrate unconventional properties at the nanoscale, large-scale implementation remains challenging. Macroscale resonant electro-osmotic transport is demonstrated in asymmetric membranes for advanced water filtration applications. nature.com/articles/s4156…
