NPG Asia Materials, Published online: 19 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41427-024-00542-yThis research examines the early changes in the formation of zirconium-doped aluminosilicate glass-ceramic, a material used in many industrial goods. Led by Y. Onodera and Y. Takimoto, the study shows that during the formation process, a liquid-like local structure around...

A The process of OVX rat model establishment and GORoM adhesive implantation. B Osteoporotic fracture healing was mediated by the osteogenesis promotion and osteoclast inhibition.

NPG Asia Materials, Published online: 05 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41427-024-00541-zWe demonstrate the magnetic-field induced reversal of antiferromagnetic spins and the electric field modulation of the switching field. The modulation efficiency is significantly high, greater than 4 T nm/V, and this giant modulation efficiency is attributed to the magnetoelectric...

NPG Asia Materials, Published online: 05 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41427-024-00537-9This research is emphasized particularly on cathodes (such as carbon, metal oxides, MXenes, and redox-active polymers), anodes (such as Zn-based composite materials and Zn-free materials), electrolytes (organic/ionic liquid electrolytes, WiSs, redox electrolytes, polymer...

NPG Asia Materials, Published online: 29 March 2024; doi:10.1038/s41427-024-00536-wBayesian optimization improved the thermoelectric properties of InGaAsSb thin films; this domain warrants comprehensive investigation due to the need to simultaneously control multiple parameters, such as, the composition, dopant concentration, and film-deposition temperatures....

NPG Asia Materials, Published online: 26 March 2024; doi:10.1038/s41427-024-00538-8The energy loss mechanism due to magnetostriction was clarified by analytical formulation considering the viscosity of magnetic materials. Effects of magnetostriction have been focused on contributions to magnetic anisotropy. However, our formulation shows that the magnetic...
