Healing away the dendrites The formation of lithium during charge-discharge cycles limits development metal batteries, because can cause electrical shorting cells. A number tricks have been used to try prevent dendrite formation. Li et al. took opposite approach (see Perspective by Mukhopadhyay and Jangid). They operated their cells at higher current densities, under which one would expect form owing nucleation rates. However, these conditions, that started heated up annealed, leading...
Spin and valley degrees of freedom in materials without inversion symmetry promise previously unknown device functionalities, such as spin-valleytronics. Control material with electric fields (ferroelectricity), while breaking additional symmetries, including mirror symmetry, could yield phenomena where chirality, spin, valley, crystal potential are strongly coupled. Here we report the synthesis a halide perovskite semiconductor that is simultaneously photoferroelectricity switchable chiral....

Improving device lifetime and stability remains the stumbling block of commercialization hybrid perovskite-based devices (HPDs). Although extensive efforts have been paid, thermal property, one most crucial parameters in conventional solid-state electronic devices, has rarely studied for HPDs.

Abstract The discovery of hydrogen-induced electronic phase transitions in strongly correlated materials such as rare-earth nickelates has opened up a new paradigm regulating materials’ properties for both fundamental study and technological applications. However, the microscopic understanding how protons electrons behave transition is lacking, mainly due to difficulty characterization hydrogen doping level.

The van der Waals (vdW) bond is traditionally believed to be orders of magnitude lower than the typical chemical (i.e., ionic, metallic, or covalent), and hence effects caused by a vdW interface are thought trivial.
