Nature Nanotechnology, Published online: 30 November 2023; doi:10.1038/s41565-023-01539-4Combined theoretical and experimental efforts provide systematic insights into the origin of self-switchable conductivity in layered semiconductor ferroelectrics. These mechanistic findings may enable advanced logic-in-memory devices.

Nature Nanotechnology, Published online: 27 November 2023; doi:10.1038/s41565-023-01547-4Native-nanoBleach, a single-molecule imaging technique with a spatial resolution of ~10 nm, quantifies the oligomeric distribution of membrane proteins directly from native membranes at endogenous expression levels with their proximal native membrane environment...

Nature Nanotechnology, Published online: 27 November 2023; doi:10.1038/s41565-023-01536-7Mechanistic origins of force stability and bond kinetics of interaction of the receptor-binding domain from the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein with angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, a key selection factor for mutations, are revealed at the single-molecule resolution using...

Nature Nanotechnology, Published online: 27 November 2023; doi:10.1038/s41565-023-01538-5To determine the physiologically relevant oligomeric form of membrane proteins is extremely challenging. Now an elegant method of counting the oligomers in membrane proteins in near-native states is presented, using photobleaching and nanodiscs formed directly from...
