  • Preparing two-dimensional heterolayers by vertically stacking chemically different layers with multiple anions remains challenging. Now, a general approach for the synthesis of heterolayered oxychalcogenides using molten hydroxides as unconventional solutions for the rapid stacking of oxide and chalcogenide layers with precise composition control is demonstrated.

  • Van der Waals magnetic materials are characterized by strong magnetic interactions within each van der Waals layer, while the interaction between the layers is typically weaker. Here, Liu, Su, Gu and coauthors find a magnetic phase transition in the van der Waals magnet, NiI2, under hydrostatic pressure, which they associate with the interlayer magnetic interaction.

  • The PEAK family of pseudokinases is known to play oncogenic roles in poor-prognosis triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Here this group identifies the role of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase 2 (CAMK2) in targeting downstream of PEAK1 thereby utilizing RA306 (CAMK2 inhibitor) to effectively attenuate TNBC xenograft growth and block metastasis as well.

  • The kinase DYRK2 is a known oncogene but its role in prostate cancer is unexplored. Here, the authors identify DYRK2 as a target for prostate cancer with a role in invasion and they discover a specific DYRK2 inhibitor that has good pharmacokinetics and efficacy in vivo.

  • Superionic conductors present liquid-like ionic diffusivity with applications ranging from energy storage to thermoelectrics. A two-dimensional type I superionic conductor α-KAg3Se2 is now reported and should help to design other materials with tailored ionic conductivities and phase transitions.

  • Batteries generally do not perform well at extreme temperatures, and electrolytes are mainly to blame. Here, the authors dissolve fluorinated electrolytes in highly fluorinated non-polar solvents, enabling batteries that can operate at a wide temperature range (−125 to +70 °C).

  • Pseudokinases lack kinase activity, yet they impact cellular physiology through the regulation of bona fide signaling kinases. Here the authors describe the structure of the SgK223 pseudokinase and its adjacent domains, and identify regulatory interfaces required for self-assembly and downstream signaling.

  • A versatile and simple strategy for building self-healing hydrogels with tunable mechanical properties and shape memory behavior has been developed using diethylenetriamine to crosslink polyacrylic acid chains. Hydrophobic domains form in the network in addition to ionic bonds between the amino and carboxylic acid groups. The combination of ionic bonds and hydrophobic interactions not only provides self-healing ability but also drastically improves the strength.
