NPG Asia Materials, Published online: 03 May 2024; doi:10.1038/s41427-024-00540-0Black phase CsPbI3 easily transforms into the non-perovskite yellow phase, while losing the outstanding optoelectronic properties. In this review, the origin of the phase stability in CsPbI3 and strategies to stabilize the black phases exhibiting the α-phase or the relatively...

NPG Asia Materials, Published online: 26 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41427-024-00543-xThe interfaces linking biological tissues and man-made devices is challenging due to mechanical mismatch, biofouling, and water content. Soft materials such as hydrogels have emerged in diverse applications, however, their unresolved problem is the loss of functions in...

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...
