Scientists are working to create a first-of-its-kind automated system to catalog atomically thin two-dimensional materials and stack them into layered structures. Called the Quantum Material Press, this system will accelerate the discovery of next-generation materials for the emerging field of quantum information science.

A team of researchers has observed chirality for the first time in polar skyrmions – quasiparticles akin to tiny magnetic swirls – in a material with reversible electrical properties. The combination of polar skyrmions and these electrical properties could one day lead to applications such as more powerful data storage devices that continue to hold information – even after a device has been powered off. The work was performed by using a scanning transmission electron microscope at the Molecular Foundry, a user facility at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

Researchers have developed a cutting-edge drug delivery system that relies on two separate “logic gates,” each of which acts as a safety switch to prevent the release of a drug unless a particular condition is fulfilled. This approach helps to reduce side effects that are typical of many cancer treatments, which kill not only cancer cells but also cells throughout the body.

Researchers have developed a conductive ink made from a special type of material called MXene, which was used by the researchers to print components for electronic devices. The ink is additive-free, which means it can print the finished devices in one step without any special finishing treatments.

Researchers have explored in unprecedented detail catalysts that allow some chemical reactions, which normally require high heat, to proceed at room temperature. The energy-saving catalysts use sunlight to excite localized surface plasmons – oscillations of groups of electrons on the surface of certain metal nanoparticles.
