Abstract Colour centres provide an optical interface to quantum registers based on electron and nuclear spin qubits in solids. The T centre in silicon is an emerging spin–photon interface that combines telecom O-band optical transitions and an electron spin in a scalable photonics platform. Here we integrate T centres into single-mode photonic waveguides in a … Read more
Abstract Semimetals can establish a low-resistance contact to semiconductors by suppressing metal-induced gap states. Although semimetals like bismuth have enabled an ultralow contact resistance for n-type two-dimensional semiconductors by mitigating metal-induced gap states, achieving a similar performance for p-type two-dimensional counterparts remains a notable hurdle. Here we introduce an ultrathin selenium interfacial layer with the … Read more
Abstract Converting plastic waste into valuable products mitigates plastic pollution and lowers the carbon footprint of naphtha-derived aromatics. However, the difficulties of precisely controlling complex multiphase systems and the catalyst inefficiencies hinder process viability. Here we report a vapour-phase hydrogenolysis strategy catalysed by Ru single atoms on Co3O4 (RuSA/Co3O4), decoupling depolymerization from hydrogenolysis to overcome … Read more
Abstract Reducing individual inflammatory factors does not always translate into clinical efficacy in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an autoimmune disease characterized by joint inflammation. Proinflammatory M1 macrophages are a key driver of the hyperinflammatory joint microenvironment, which also promotes the progression of RA. Here we show that folate-receptor-targeted photosynthetic nanothylakoid (FA-PEG-NTK)-based phototherapy reprogrammes macrophages from M1 … Read more

Nature Nanotechnology https://doi.org/10.1038/s41565-023-01484-2 (2023) In their Article, Sahu et al. report the production of molybdenene (free-standing nanosheets made of Mo atoms) from MoS2 (ref. 1). While their methodology for preparing molybdenene is praiseworthy, the discussion pertaining to the core-level X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy … Read more
