Peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Springer Nature covering materials science, including nanomaterials and condensed matter physics.
Researchers at Concordia, INRS and York report up to 100 times more mobile charges in the organic semiconductor P3HT from a dopant that falls apart after donating an electron. The study does not include a finished device.

Physicists at The City College of New York used the layered magnet CrSBr to convert microwave signals into an optical output over roughly 300 megahertz of bandwidth. Moving a single quantum state is the step still ahead.
Reality
Physicists at the City College of New York drove magnons in CrSBr with microwaves and read the signal out on reflected laser light, a conversion mechanism that still needs large efficiency gains before it can move quantum states.
Reality
Fifteen years after KAIST reported that graphene oxide sheets align themselves in water, a Nature Materials commentary from Sang Ouk Kim's team traces the line from that phenomenon to fibers spun for heat.
Reality
Theory predicted an in-plane anomalous Hall effect and no experiment had shown one, until a few-layer tantalum iridium telluride flake borrowed magnetism from the layer beneath it and produced the signal.
Reality
A UCLA-led team trapped nuclei mid-formation and mapped them in 3D. Classical nucleation theory survives as a limit case of the new equation, and that limit was not observed once.
Reality
A four-institution team reports in Nature Materials that 1,10-phenanthroline both lowers the melting point of MOF-derived glasses and rebuilds their metal coordination on the way down.
Reality
Cornell researchers swapped argon for krypton in sputtering and halved the process temperature for tantalum on silicon, moving a favoured qubit metal inside standard foundry tooling limits.
