  • The reversible transformation of a nanohelix is one of the most exquisite and important phenomenon in nature but nanomaterials usually fail to twist into helical crystals or untwist. Here, the authors report a reciprocal effect between molecular geometry and crystal structure which triggers a twisting-untwisting-retwisting cycle for tri-cobalt salicylate hydroxide hexahydrate.

  • Two-dimensional materials have many desirable properties but controllable synthesis is difficult. Now, a flux-assisted growth approach has been designed to reproducibly prepare high-quality, atomically thin materials. Eighty atomically thin composite flakes have been prepared by this approach.

  • Phonon polaritons hold promises for nanophotonic applications but external control of phonon polaritons remains challenging. Here, the authors achieve reversible and non-volatile switching of phonon polariton by modifying crystal structure and lattice vibrations via hydrogenation.

  • Label-free molecular-level quantification of MicroRNA (miRNA) remains challenging. Here, the authors develop a new surface plasmon resonance sensor based on two-dimensional nanomaterial of antimonene for the specific label-free detection of clinically relevant biomarkers such as miRNA-21 and miRNA-155.

  • In 2015, China introduced power sector reform to improve the performance of its electricity market. Here Xiang et al. use unit-level data from plants in southern China to explore the political challenges faced by the reform, finding preferences for local enterprises over central state-owned ones.
