Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are the promising nanomaterials for separation of molecules with close dimensions and structures, such as various types of isomers. The efficiency of separation can be greatly enhanced if the apertures of the nanosized windows, controlling the diffusion of a particular molecule inside the cavities, are fine-tuned by ...

The exquisite optical and spin properties of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond have made them a promising platform for quantum sensing. The prospect of NV-based sensors relies on the controlled production of these atomic-scale defects. Here we report on the fabrication of a preferentially oriented, shallow ensemble of NV centers and their ap...

The heterostructures of the ferromagnet (Cr2Te3) and topological insulator (Bi2Te3) have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The topological Hall effect as evidence of the existence of magnetic skyrmions has been observed in the samples in which Cr2Te3 was grown on top of Bi2Te3. Detailed structural characterizations have unambiguously revealed t...

A trade-off between minimized premature leakage and rapid cargo release on demand is an intractable obstacle faced by smart delivery systems that restrains them from lab to market. To address this dilemma, dynamic hybrid colloidosomes relying on strong yet reversible electrostatic interactions are developed, simply through one-pot cooperative self-...

Control of light-matter interactions is central to numerous advances in quantum communication, information, and sensing. The relative ease with which interactions can be tailored in coupled plasmonic-photonic systems makes them ideal candidates for investigation. To exert control over the interaction between photons and plasmons, it is essential to...

The fact that metallic nanostructures are an excellent light receiver and transmitter connects the underlying principles of two widely applied optical processes: surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and surface-enhanced fluorescence (SEF). A comparative study of SERS and SEF can eliminate the typical unknown quantities of the system and reveal ...

Decades of crystallographic and NMR studies have produced canonical structural models of short DNA. However, no experimental method so far has been able to test these models in vivo, where DNA is long and constrained by interactions with membranes, proteins, and other molecules. Here, we employ high-resolution frequency-modulation AFM to image sing...

Severe charge recombination in solar water-splitting devices significantly limits their performance. To address this issue, we design a frustum of a cone nanograting configuration by taking the hematite and Au-based thin-film photoanode as a model system, which greatly improves the photoelectrochemical water oxidation activity, affording an approxi...

Despite the development of a myriad of mitigation methods, radiation damage continues to be a major limiting factor in transmission electron microscopy. Intriguing results have been reported using pulsed-laser driven and chopped electron beams for modulated dose delivery, but the underlying relationships and effects remain unclear. Indeed, deliveri...

Two-dimensional topological materials have attracted intense research efforts owing to their promise in applications for low-energy, high-efficiency quantum computations. Group-VA elemental thin films with strong spin-orbit coupling have been predicted to host topologically nontrivial states as excellent two-dimensional topological materials. Herei...
