  • How quantum size effects affect superconductivity has been predicted, but it has never been verified. Here, Vlaicet al. report superconducting parity effect as a function of lead nanocrystal volume, unambiguously validating the Anderson criterion.

  • Quantification of structural disorder and electron localization in superlattices of colloidal nanocrystals shows that minimizing variations in size and epitaxial connections is key to enhance the electronic properties of these materials.

  • The observation of the quantum spin Hall effect in graphene is hindered by weak spin–orbit coupling. Here, Beugeling et al. demonstrate how topological phases may be realized in analogous artificial HgTe nanocrystal honeycomb lattices with strong spin–orbit coupling and multi-orbital ordering.

  • The effect of nanocrystal structure on electronic properties is of considerable interest for optoelectronic devices. Here, Evers et al. study the charge transport in two-dimensional percolative networks of PbSe and find excellent terahertz mobility of charge carriers.

  • Infrared nanocrystals have become an enabling building block for the design of low-cost infrared sensors. Here, Chu et al. design a nanotrench device geometry at the diffusion length limit in HgTe nanocrystals and demonstrate the record high sensing performance operated in the short-wave infrared.
