  • Growth of high-quality III–V semiconductors for electronics and optoelectronics usually requires an atomic-lattice matched substrate. Here, the authors use templated liquid-phase crystal growth to create single-crystalline III–V material up to ten micrometres across on an amorphous substrate.

  • The thermal transport properties of Eshelby twisted van der Waals GeS nanowire are investigated as model systems for thermal transport. The thermal conductivity of these systems are found to display anomalous behaviour with thermal conductivity with decreased nanowire diameter.

  • Materials design and informatics have become increasingly prominent over the past several decades. Using the Materials Project as an example, this Perspective discusses how properties are calculated and curated, how this knowledge can be used for materials discovery, and the challenges in modelling complex material systems or managing software architecture.

  • Individual addition of O or Al is known to deteriorate ductility of Ti alloys, especially at cryogenic temperatures. Here the authors demonstrate a counter-intuitive effect where significant addition of both Al and O substantially improves both strength and ductility in a Ti-6Al-0.3 O ternary alloy.

  • Transmission electron microscopy reveals the electroplastic effects in a Ti–Al alloy, which can be uncoupled from Joule heating effects. Electropulsing during deformation enhances wavy slip of dislocations, reconfiguring the dislocation pattern, and hence increases the ductility.

  • The ability to design materials manipulating individual atoms with the best possible atom distributions for target properties is currently a challenge. Here the authors introduce Nano-TO, a topological based computational approach with an atom-by-atom control for materials design with desired properties.

  • Strain engineering is an essential tool for modifying local electronic properties in silicon-based electronics. Here, Ahn et al. demonstrate control of biaxial strain in two-dimensional materials based on the growth substrate, enabling more complex low-dimensional electronics.

  • Experiments demonstrate a class of van der Waals nanowires, made from layered crystals of the semiconductor germanium sulfide, in which a tunable interlayer twist evolves naturally during synthesis.
