Karlsruhe Institute of Technology researchers made millimetre-sized beads whose structural material is the enzymes themselves, with no inert carrier. The format aims to make biocatalysts as easy to store, ship and dose as industrial chemistry requires.

A Gothenburg and HZB team filmed magnetization dynamics inside a CoFeB spin Hall nano-oscillator at BESSY II. Simulations matched the movies only after grain boundaries, weakened anisotropy and the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction were added.

An international team including the University of Edinburgh set synaptic weights in Fe3GaTe2 by turning a whole skyrmion lattice into stripes, with no cooling. The 0.66 picojoule energy figure is a projection.

Diego Alzate-Sanchez and Jenna Kin swapped a hydrogel's permanent crosslinks for imine boronic esters. The same reversible bonds that start closing a cut within minutes let acidity take the network back to its components.

TU Delft parked metal nanoparticles beside genetically encoded voltage indicators in living mammalian cells and got up to six times the light, along with a kinetic speed-up that years of protein engineering had not delivered.
