Nature Materials, Published online: 19 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41563-024-01874-4The authors report diode-like resistance in a non-magnetic topological insulator in the quantum Hall regime.

Nature Materials, Published online: 17 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41563-024-01875-3The turn-off time is generally faster than the turn-on time in accumulation mode organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs), but the mechanism is less understood. Here the authors find different transient behaviours of turn-on and turn-off in accumulation mode OECTs, and...

Nature Materials, Published online: 16 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41563-024-01862-8Ion exchange is a powerful method to access metastable materials for energy storage, but identifying lithium and sodium interchange in layered oxides remains challenging. Using such model materials, vacancy level and corresponding lithium preference are shown to be crucial...

Nature Materials, Published online: 11 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41563-024-01870-8Electric current pulses are used to move antiskyrmions, by coupling them with a helical track.

Nature Materials, Published online: 11 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41563-024-01871-7Harnessing premature necking produces a rapid multiplication of dislocations to interact with local chemical orders for work hardening in VCoNi alloy, achieving ductility of 20% and yield strength of 2 GPa during room-temperature and cryogenic deformation.
