Freestanding functional membranes open a promising avenue to the fabrication of flexible electronic devices. To date, research has mainly focused on perovskite-like oxides with pseudocubic structures. Investigation of freestanding hexagonal oxide materials is severely restricted due to the lack of a proper sacrificial layer. Here we present our discovery of water-soluble crystalline hexagonal BaAl2O4, which can serve as an excellent sacrificial layer for obtaining membranes with six-fold or three-fold symmetry. Remarkably, BaAl2O4 can rapidly dissolve in water (<1 min), but is stable in air, O2 and NH3, even at very high temperatures, thus allowing in situ or ex situ growth of high-quality materials for integrated devices. To demonstrate the generic nature of this sacrificial layer, we tested a large collection of oxide and nitride films, including YMnO3 (0001), LiCoO2 (0001), α-Fe2O3 (0001), In2O3 (111), NiO (111), β-Ga2O3 ( 2 ¯ 01 ) and TiN (111). Furthermore, integrated devices based on such crystalline membranes demonstrate a substantially improved performance.

Spontaneous symmetry breaking, driven by competing interactions and quantum fluctuations, is fundamental to understanding ordered electronic phases. Although electrically neutral, optical excitations like excitons can interact through their dipole moment, raising the possibility of optically active ordered phases. The effects of spontaneous ordering on optical properties remains underexplored. The excitonic Mott insulating state recently observed in semiconducting moiré crystals may help clarify this question. Here we present evidence for an in-plane ferroelectric phase of dipolar moiré excitons driven by strong exciton-exciton interactions. We reveal a speed-up of photon emission at late times and low densities in excitonic decay. This counterintuitive behaviour is attributed to collective radiance, linked to the transition between disordered and symmetry-broken ferroelectric phases of moiré excitons. Our findings provide evidence for strong dipolar intersite interactions in moiré lattices, demonstrate collective photon emission as a probe for moiré quantum materials and a path for exploring cooperative optical phenomena in strongly correlated systems.

Metallic, two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheets show promise for energy storage and catalysis applications. However, current chemical exfoliation methods require more than 48 h to produce milligrams of material, and result in an impure mixture of metallic (1T/1T', approximately 50%-70%) and semiconducting (2H) phases. Here we demonstrate large-scale and rapid (>600 g h-1) production of nearly pure-phase metallic two-dimensional MoS2 nanosheets using microwave irradiation. Atomic-resolution imaging and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy show nearly 100% metallic phase in the basal plane. This high purity leads to a large exchange current density (0.175 ± 0.030 mA cm-2) and low Tafel slopes (39-47 mV dec-1) for hydrogen evolution reaction. In supercapacitors and lithium-sulfur pouch-cell batteries, the resulting nanosheets enable a high volumetric capacitance of 753.0 ± 3.6 F cm-3 and a specific capacity of 1,245 ± 16 mAh g-1 (electrolyte-to-sulfur ratio, 2 µl mg-1), respectively. Our method provides a practical pathway for producing high-quality metallic two-dimensional materials for high-performance energy devices.
金属二维二硫化钼（MoS2）纳米片在能量存储和催化应用方面具有广阔的前景。然而，目前的化学剥离方法需要超过48小时才能产生数毫克的材料，并且会产生金属（1T/1T’，约50%-70%）和半导体（2H）相的不纯混合物。在这里，我们展示了大规模和快速（>600 g h-1）生产近纯相金属二维二硫化钼纳米片使用微波辐射。原子分辨率成像和x射线光电子能谱显示基面上接近100%的金属相。这种高纯度导致了大的交换电流密度（0.175±0.030 mA cm-2）和低的Tafel斜率（39-47 mV dec1）。在超级电容器和锂硫袋电池中，所得到的纳米片分别具有753.0±3.6 F cm-3的高体积电容和1,245±16 mAh g-1的比容量（电解硫比为2 μ l mg-1）。我们的方法为生产高性能能源器件的高质量金属二维材料提供了一条实用途径。

Hydrogels do not have observable responses to external magnetic fields as they are conventionally thought to be diamagnetic. These materials require additives for magnetic control, limiting biomedical applications due to potential side effects. Here we show that calcium cations can induce strong paramagnetism of hydrogels rich in groups containing carbon–oxygen double bonds, including alginate, carboxymethyl chitosan, polyacrylamide and N-isopropyl acrylamide. Both experiments and computations reveal that the ubiquitous presence of net magnetic moments, the key to paramagnetism, is induced by the unexpected coupling of a single calcium cation and one carbonyl group under large calcium cation excess conditions. The paramagnetic phenomenon is also observed in the endogenous biomolecule sodium hyaluronate with calcium cations. We further demonstrate the applications of the strongly paramagnetic alginate-calcium hydrogel as a contrast agent in magnetic resonance imaging and a carrier in magnetic drug delivery. Our findings provide insights into the origin of magnetism and advance magnetism-related biomedical innovations.

Amorphous polymeric sulfur cathodes, such as sulfurized polyacrylonitrile (SPAN), enable high-energy lithium–sulfur batteries without cobalt or nickel, leveraging abundant sulfur. However, the limited in situ understanding of their synthesis and electrochemistry has impeded targeted optimization. Here we integrate operando high-energy total scattering with sulfur K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy to monitor SPAN’s formation and cycling in real time. Our results show that S–C bond formation halts further fusion of cyclized polyacrylonitrile, fostering π–π stacking and a transition from long-chain to short-chain sulfur—critical for reversible sulfur redox. These features synergistically minimize polysulfide dissolution and charge-transfer resistance, enabling optimized SPAN to achieve high capacity retention over 1,000 cycles. Operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy reveals that residual protons drive thiol–thione tautomerism, with lithium replacement during the first discharge causing ~20% irreversible capacity loss. To enhance performance, minimizing –NH groups and expanding pyridine networks are key. These findings transform SPAN optimization from empirical tuning to mechanism‑guided engineering and point the way towards sulfur loadings and energy densities competitive with state‑of‑the‑art Li‑ion cathodes.

Electron spins coupled with optical transitions in solids stand out as a promising platform for developing spin-based quantum technologies. Recently, hexagonal boron nitride has emerged as a promising host for optically addressable spin systems. However, controlled generation of isolated single-photon emitters with predetermined spin transitions has remained elusive. Here we report on a single-step thermal processing of hexagonal boron nitride flakes that produces high-density, narrowband quantum emitters with optically active spin transitions, with over 25% of the emitters exhibiting a clear signature of an optical spin read-out at room temperature. The generated spin defect complexes exhibit both S = 1 and S = 1/2 transitions, which are explained by charge transfer from strongly to weakly coupled spin pairs. Our work advances the understanding of spin complexes in hexagonal boron nitride and paves the way for single spin-photon interfaces in layered materials with applications in quantum sensing and information processing.

Entanglement underpins quantum computing and information processing, yet its quantitative characterization in correlated materials remains an outstanding challenge. Here we report a highly entangled electronic phase near a quantum metal–insulator transition identified by resonant inelastic X-ray scattering interferometry. Entanglement extending across atomic sites generates distinct interference patterns that are accurately captured by theoretical modelling, enabling quantitative reconstruction of the entanglement spectrum and microscopic resolution of the underlying quantum states. In the pyrochlore iridate Nd2Ir2O7, pronounced quantum fluctuations of spin, orbital and charge persist within the long-range ‘all-in-all-out’ antiferromagnetic order. The observed entanglement signatures indicate the coexistence of multiple symmetry-breaking orders, supported by complementary Raman spectroscopy investigations. A two-magnon bound state appears below the lowest single-magnon excitation energy, which together with split phonon modes indicates a cubic symmetry breaking of magnetic origin coexisting with the all-in-all-out order. These findings establish a quantitative framework linking quantum entanglement to emergent unconventional orders.
