The discovery of superconductivity in doped NdNiO2 has generated excitement due to similarities with cuprates. Here, the authors use first-principles calculations to show that different from cuprates, a hybridization between Ni d-orbitals and itinerant electrons in NdNiO2 disfavours magnetism by screening Ni moment, as in Kondo systems.
