Efficient quantum thermal simulation Summary The authors present a new, practically motivated quantum algorithm for preparing thermal (Gibbs) states of quantum many-body systems. The core is a synthetic Lindbladian that…
Extreme confinement unleashes water’s hidden electrical capabilities Summary Wang et al. report that water confined in nanometre-scale gaps between atomically flat crystals shows dramatically altered electrical behaviour compared with bulk…
Mysterious cosmic ‘dots’ are baffling astronomers. What are they? Summary The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revealed hundreds of tiny red sources in very distant, early-universe images. Initially puzzling…
Patchy nanoparticles by atomic stencilling Summary This paper demonstrates a bottom-up “atomic stencilling” method that patterns ligands on faceted gold nanoparticles (NPs) with nanometre precision. The approach uses iodide adsorption…
