Chemo-mechanical failure mechanisms of the silicon anode in solid-state batteries
Nature Materials, Published online: 26 January 2024; doi:10.1038/s41563-023-01792-xAlthough silicon anodes are promising for solid-state batteries, they still suffer from poor electrochemical performance. Chemo-mechanical failure mecha…
Absence of 3<i>a</i><sub>0</sub> charge density wave order in the infinite-layer nickelate NdNiO<sub>2</sub>
Nature Materials, Published online: 26 January 2024; doi:10.1038/s41563-024-01797-0Samples of NdNiO2+x are prepared with meticulous control of the oxygen content. Their X-ray scattering and spectroscopy measurements then reveal that th…

Electronic transport probes a hidden state
Nature Physics, Published online: 26 January 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02382-zElectronic transport measurements of the anomalous Hall effect can probe properties of a frustrated kagome spin ice that are hidden from conventional ther…
Time reversibility during the ageing of materials
Nature Physics, Published online: 26 January 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02366-zPhysical ageing in glassy materials can be described in a linear way through the concept of material time. Multispeckle dynamic light scattering is now sh…
Tunable quantum simulation of spin models with a two-dimensional ion crystal
Nature Physics, Published online: 26 January 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02378-9Most quantum simulations of spin models with trapped ions have been restricted to one dimension. Now, tunable simulations of Ising models with single-site…
