The large intrinsic spin current in magnetic Weyl semimetals (WSMs) provides a promising platform for spin-orbit torque (SOT) devices. Here, we demonstrate SOTdriven magnetization switching in a synthetic antiferromagnet (SAF) composed of a Co2MnGa(CMG)/MnGa bilayer. In this heavy metal-free structure, CMG film…
A recent experiment by Roy et al. (Nat. Commun. 17, 2853 (2026)) demonstrated a robust half-integer thermal conductance plateau, \kappa_0 T/2, at a bipolar (\nu,\nu')=(2,-1) junction in bilayer graphene, produced not by non-Abelian topology but by full equilibration of co-propagating electron and hole edge modes. We…
Electron--hole plasma in two-dimensional systems has mainly been studied in two limiting cases: degenerate semimetals with parabolic bands and nondegenerate symmetric Dirac systems such as graphene. Here we investigate a different regime realized in a gapless HgTe quantum well: a multicomponent plasma where massless…
Non-equilibrium electron and phonon populations govern heat generation and dissipation in nanoscale devices, yet their direct characterization remains challenging. Anti-Stokes Raman scattering provides a sensitive probe of phonon populations and local temperatures, although its interpretation becomes more complex when…
When Coulomb interactions dominate kinetic energy, dilute two-dimensional carriers form a Wigner solid. Both its melting and disorder-driven localization can drive density-tuned metal-insulator transitions, but their relative roles and interplay have been debated for decades. Atomically thin semiconductors offer a new…
Simulations of water at solid interfaces routinely disagree on basic properties, from contact angle to friction, depending on the model used, whether an empirical force field or a density functional theory (DFT) exchange-correlation (XC) approximation. Yet no accurate computational reference has been available to…
Quasicrystals reveal that long-range order can exist without translational periodicity, but deterministic routes for designing strongly bonded quasicrystalline interfaces remain unexplored. Here, we show that such interfaces can be engineered by growing epitaxial SrTiO3 membranes on a sacrificial layer, releasing them…
Altermagnets offer a promising route to spintronic devices by combining spin-split electronic states with zero net magnetization, but how reduced dimensionality reshapes their magnetic order remains poorly understood. Here, we grow bilayer-thickness CrSb (0001) films directly on SrTiO3(001) substrates by molecular beam…
In this work, we have systematically investigated the structural stability, electronic properties, and photocatalytic performance of the 2D h-Be3N2 monolayer for water splitting application, utilizing a first-principles density functional theory. Electronic structure calculations based on the PBE functional reveal that…
The magnetic order of a material is usually predicted by comparing the energies of trial spin configurations, a strategy that cannot reach orders outside the chosen set and rapidly becomes intractable as the number of magnetic sites grows. We show that the order can instead be identified directly from the paramagnetic…
Symmetry constrains and determines the physical properties of crystalline solids. Determining crystalline symmetry often requires large-scale diffraction facility and advanced analysis software and therefore cannot be realized with real-time feedback. Alternatively, optical anisotropy has also been exploited for…
Effective descriptions of quantum materials rely on a separation of energy scales that identifies their low-energy degrees of freedom. When kinetic energy, lattice potential, and interactions compete, this hierarchy breaks down, and both the microscopic state and its effective description are unknown. Continuum neural…
Thermal radiation and luminescence are among the most ubiquitous sources of light, yet their properties are difficult to engineer due to their incoherent nature. Recent advances in thermal emission control have endowed heat-generated light with spatial and temporal coherence, as well as control over its polarization…
The European MINIGRAPH project, funded by the European Innovation Council and coordinated by ICN2, has wrapped up with results on graphene neural probes and a robotic way to implant them.

Two-dimensional superconductors provide a versatile setting for studying pairing under reduced dimensionality, interfacial control, and strong spin–orbit coupling. However, gap-resolved spectroscopy in fully encapsulated van der Waals devices remains challenging, because conventional surface or vertical tunneling…
Kevlar-based flexible protective materials exhibit excellent tensile deformability and energy-dissipation capability under impact loading. However, under dynamic bending, the deformation response of Kevlar gradually evolves from distributed deformation toward highly localized structural failure with increasing loading…
Ferroelectric switching in van der Waals heterostructures provides a powerful route to reconfiguring quantum states and their associated transport responses. Here, we propose a ferroelectric topological heterobilayer in which the stepwise reversal of polarization in the two monolayers enables selective control of spin…
We present the deterministic generation and all-optical switching of ternary topologically distinct vortex states in a triad of trapped exciton-polariton condensates with direct state readout from momentum-space emission distribution. Tuning the non-resonant pump power controls the sign of the dissipative coupling…
Solid-state batteries (SSBs) are currently regarded as a potential alternative to dominant liquid-electrolyte Li-ion batteries, possibly offering higher energy and power densities. In this regard, lithium argyrodite solid electrolytes have received considerable attention due to their high ionic conductivity and…
The multivalent display of surface glycoprotein hemagglutinin (HA) on Influenza A viruses (IAVs) enhances the overall binding avidity to sialylated glycans on host cell surfaces. While precomplexing HA trimers with antibodies increases multivalency and avidity, this method does not replicate the virion’s geometry and…
Topological zero-line modes (ZLMs) based on valley Hall effect induced by inversion symmetry breaking have attracted significant attention in designing topological quantum devices. Compared with the toy model in monolayer graphene with staggered sublattice potentials, ZLMs in bilayer graphene are mo… [Phys. Rev. B 114…

Quantum emitters in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) are promising building blocks for solid-state quantum photonics because of their bright room-temperature emission. These emitters strongly interact with lattice vibrations, which partially underpins their excitation efficiency. Here, using complementary…
Polymorphism in transition‐metal dichalcogenides is typically defined based on the post‐growth phase (1T or 2H) or stabilized heterophase structures. Transient 1T‐to‐2H phase evolution is demonstrated during epitaxial growth of MoS2 and WSe2 on sapphire by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). In both…
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has shown promising electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity in acidic electrolyte, while its high‐pH alkaline HER performance is critically poor due to the sluggish water dissociation kinetics. Herein, utilizing local oxygen coordination brought by p‐block aluminum (Al3+)…
Breaking out‐of‐plane symmetry in graphene is essential to realize electrostatic control in next‐generation electronic devices. While Janus graphene, which bears chemically distinct top and bottom faces, is a promising architecture, establishing a controllable fabrication route and directly linking asymmetric chemistry…
Strain engineering is a leading route to control valley-selective transport in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides. Whether this quantum effect survives inside a fully contacted device remains an open question. Quantum transport models capture the underlying valley deflection but are limited to isolated…
Twisted van der Waals (vdW) systems provide a powerful platform for exploring emergent correlated phenomena, including superconductivity, magnetism, and topological phases. The twist angle offers a continuous tuning parameter for modifying the underlying Hamiltonian, however, precise and reproducible control remains…
Based on the analysis of moiré superlattice characteristics and interlayer hybridisation in small-angle twisted graphene multilayers with a monolayer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) spacer, we predict spectral features and quantum transport effects in these systems. Here, we consider both a twisted bilayer and double…
In colloids, anisotropy in either shape or particle interactions can steer assemblies away from close-packed monolayers and towards more intricate structures. In this study we utilize both shape and interaction anisotropy to stabilize porous surface assemblies of triblock elliptical particles, whose surfaces are…
Gradient-based design of large optical surfaces hits a memory wall: a stored-history time-domain adjoint needs 24Nt bytes per cell for Nt steps, and every field update is bound by memory bandwidth. Here we present a validated framework that removes this wall and makes globally optimized freeform meta-optics practical.…
