Nature Materials, Published online: 07 December 2023; doi:10.1038/s41563-023-01746-3Depositing textured functional materials on transparent conducting oxides remains a challenge. We demonstrate the formation of a coherent interface between a set of functional oxides and fluorine-doped-tin-oxide-based transparent conducting oxide substrate despite the...

Nature Materials, Published online: 05 December 2023; doi:10.1038/s41563-023-01745-4Oxidation can degrade the properties and functionality of three-dimensional bulk metallic glasses. However, the formation of percolating oxide networks in metallic glass nanotubes or nanosheets can induce interesting properties, such as a recoverable strain of 10–20%...

Nature Materials, Published online: 05 December 2023; doi:10.1038/s41563-023-01733-8Oxidation normally deteriorates the mechanical properties of metals. But it is now shown that the formation of a percolating oxide network in metallic glass nanotubes can result in an unprecedented superelasticity of 14% at room temperature.

Nature Materials, Published online: 04 December 2023; doi:10.1038/s41563-023-01770-3The fundamental discoveries that enabled the development of effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19 were awarded with this year’s Nobel Prize in Medicine.

Nature Materials, Published online: 30 November 2023; doi:10.1038/s41563-023-01736-5Piezoelectrics have longitudinal and transverse piezoelectric coefficients that are opposite in sign. Here, by tuning the interface inversion asymmetry in heterostructures, auxetic systems with positive longitudinal and transverse coefficients are realized, with expansion...
