Demonstration of Super-X divertor exhaust control for transient heat load management in compact fusion reactors

Managing power exhaust in fusion reactors is a key challenge, especially in compact designs for cost-effective commercial energy. This study shows how alternative divertor configurations improve exhaust control, enhance stability, absorb transients and enable independent plasma regulation.

Revealing Fermi surface evolution and Berry curvature in an ideal type-II Weyl semimetal

The authors study the field-induced ferromagnetic state of MnBi_2-xSb_xTe₄ by quantum oscillations and high-field Hall effect measurements. They confirm a single pair of type-II Weyl nodes, the long-sought “ideal” Weyl semimetal.

Reversible non-volatile electronic switching in a near-room-temperature van der Waals ferromagnet

The controlled manipulation of the topological phases of electronic materials is a central goal of modern condensed matter research. Here, the authors demonstrate controllable switching between two distinct topological phases in a layered ferromagnet via thermal cycling.

Thin-film image sensors with a pinned photodiode structure

Organic semiconductor and colloidal quantum-dot-based thin-film image sensors show reduced noise, dark current and image lag when a pinned photodiode pixel structure, similar to those in silicon-based image sensors, is used.

Herbivore effects increase with latitude across the extent of a foundational seagrass

Conducting a simulated turtlegrass herbivory experiment across 650 experimental plots and 13 seagrass meadows, the authors show that the negative effects of herbivory increase with latitude, driven by low levels of light insolation at high latitudes.

A control oriented strategy of disruption prediction to avoid the configuration collapse of tokamak reactors

Confining plasma and managing disruptions in tokamak devices is a challenge. Here the authors demonstrate a method predicting and possibly preventing disruptions and macroscopic instabilities in tokamak plasma using data from JET.

The transport–structural correspondence across the nematic phase transition probed by elasto X-ray diffraction

The authors combine simultaneous transport and X-ray diffraction measurements with in-situ tunable strain to measure the temperature dependence of the shear modulus and elastoresistivity above the nematic transition and the spontaneous orthorhombicity and resistivity anisotropy below the nematic transition of Co-doped BaFe₂As₂.

Evidence for equilibrium exciton condensation in monolayer WTe₂

Exciton condensation has been observed in various three-dimensional (3D) materials. Now, monolayer WTe₂—a 2D topological insulator—also shows the phenomenon. Strong electronic interactions allow the excitons to form and condense at high temperature.

Nematic fluctuations in an orbital selective superconductor Fe_1+yTe_1−xSe_x

Despite a significant amount of research, there are still many unknowns about the underlying mechanisms of the superconductivity in Fe-based superconductors, in particular the roles of magnetism and nematicity. Here, the authors investigate the compositional dependence of the nematic susceptibility in Fe_1+yTe_1−xSe_x and the interplay between nematic and spin fluctuations, as well as the effect of orbital differentiation on nematic instability.

Skyrmions in synthetic antiferromagnets and their nucleation via electrical current and ultra-fast laser illumination

Skyrmions in synthetic antiferromagnets are appealing for use in future memory and computing devices, combining small size and fast motion, but creating, stabilizing, and observing them remains a challenge. Here, Juge et al demonstrate the stabilization and current and light induced nucleation of skyrmions in a synthetic antiferromagnet, observing the magnetization texture in each layer using X-ray magnetic microscopy.

Divertor shaping with neutral baffling as a solution to the tokamak power exhaust challenge

Power exhaust is one of the biggest challenges stopping fusion energy. This article shows experimental evidence for strategically shaping the power exhaust region as a solution to this challenge, utilising physics understanding to strike a balance between engineering complexity and power exhaust benefits, consistent with reduced models and simulations.

Suppression of superconductivity by anisotropic strain near a nematic quantum critical point

Using doped BaFe₂As₂, the authors test whether nematicity is linked to superconductivity in the iron pnictides by applying the conjugate field to nematicity—a specific form of strain—and observe that the critical temperature decreases.
