  • Acyclic cucurbituril-type molecular containers have been found to increase the solubility of insoluble pharmaceutical agents in water by up to 2,750-fold. In vitro and in vivo toxicology studies suggest that the containers are well tolerated, and paclitaxel solubilized in this manner efficiently kills HeLa and SK-OV-3 cancer cells.

  • The specific energy and cycle life of rechargeable non-aqueous Na-based batteries are influenced by the type of electrolyte used. Here the authors propose a sulfonyl imide-rich electrolyte solution to improve the energy content and life span of various Na-based batteries.

  • Transport measurements show that nematic fluctuations near a phase transition increase the temperature at which superconductivity occurs by a factor of nearly six. This happens in a non-magnetic nickel-based compound.

  • The solid–electrolyte-interphase layer is extremely important for reversible electrochemical cycling of Li-ion batteries. Now it has been observed that lithium ethylene mono-carbonate, instead of the previously reported lithium ethylene di-carbonate, is the major initial organic species in this layer and it has a high Li-ion conductivity.

  • Extensive theoretical and experimental efforts have been devoted to the effect of quantum criticality in our understanding of the physics of high-temperature superconductors and strongly correlated electron materials, yet it remains a puzzle in condensed matter physics. The authors report observations of a quantum criticality by investigating the non-Fermi liquid thermodynamics and transport behaviour in a non-superconducting iron pnictide.
