Machine learning is revolutionizing chemistry. Beyond the value of predictive models accelerating virtual screening, generative AI aims at enabling inverse design, reversing the compound-to-property prediction paradigm into property-to-compound generation. Chemists now have access to a rich AI tool…

Charged colloidal crystals exhibit a subtle interplay between electrostatic screening and elastic deformation. When an isotropic electrostatic volumetric softening acts on an anisotropic elastic background, the longitudinal acoustic response softens preferentially along specific crystallographic ax…

We demonstrate that stacking topologically trivial layers, under enforced symmetry restrictions, yields emergent topological phases with protected boundary states. Remarkably, the number of layers itself acts as a topological switch, enabling the system to host topological bound states in the conti…

Using synchrotron x-ray diffraction in laser-heated diamond anvil cells, we report the observation of an hexagonal close-packed (hcp) phase of water ice at high pressure and temperature conditions. Above 200 GPa and 1800 K, the hcp phase becomes dominant upon entering the superionic regime, as evid…

We generalize the classic Néel diagram and identify another type of ferrimagnetic phase that remains fully magnetically compensated below the Curie temperature, forming a continuous line of compensated points. It exhibits zero net magnetization while retaining non-relativistic, eV-scale reciprocal…

In type-II superconductors, magnetic fields modulate the amplitude and phase of the superconducting order parameter, forming quantized vortices where superconductivity is locally suppressed and exotic bound states or competing electronic orders emerge. Using spectroscopic-imaging scanning tunneling…

We demonstrate robust and reversible electric-current control of the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in a two-dimensional WTe2/Fe3GeTe2 (FGT) stack. Applying a current through Td-WTe2 leads to a giant modulation of the AHE of the adjacent FGT layer, with the relative change of the AHE conductivity exce…

The microstructural stability and mechanical response of $γ/γ'$ superalloys at elevated temperatures are governed by solute chemistry and elemental partitioning across the $γ/γ'$ heterophase interface. Conventionally, a lower $γ^{\prime}$ solvus temperature and a larger $γ/γ^{\prime}$ lattice misfi…

Machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) can achieve near density-functional-theory (DFT) accuracy at force-field computational cost; however, long-time, large-scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations often fail when trajectories sample local atomic environments that are underrepresented in…

While Van der Waals (vdW) itinerant antiferromagnets with high Neel temperatures (TN) are highly desirable for spintronics, they remain relatively scarce. Here, we unravel the physical origin of the unusually high TN (= 250 K) in the newly identified vdW compound (Fe0.65Co0.35)4GeTe2. The substitut…

Dielectric multilayer mirrors are essential components in optical experiments using high-power lasers, where titanium dioxide ($\text{TiO}_2$) is widely employed as a high-refractive-index dielectric material.

The quasi-2D magnet Na2Co2TeO6 (NCTO) is a candidate for a Kitaev Quantum Spin Liquid (KQSL) state. Pressure-tuning in such materials is of interest as a potential method to tune the Kitaev exchange interactions, which are strongly dependent on bond geometry. Here we report a Raman spectroscopic st…

In transmission electron microscopy, electrons undergo inelastic scattering primarily through phonon excitations, known as thermal diffuse scattering. To capture the inelastic scattering effects on the elastic scattering components, absorptive effects must be included in the modeling of electron pr…

Rutile-structured CoF$_2$ has long been recognized as a prototypical piezomagnetic material. Recently, it has attracted renewed interest as an altermagnet, exhibiting spin-split electronic bands even in the absence of spin-orbit coupling.

Most compositionally complex materials (CCMs, frequently referred to as high entropy alloys) are metastable and their attractive properties often belong to kinetically trapped states. However, pathways towards lower-free-energy phase states governing long-term stability, can remain hidden because d…

The coupling between electronic states and magnetism provides a route towards optical readout and control of magnetic information. In the magnetic semiconductor CrSBr, excitons are coupled to magnetic order, making their optical response sensitive to the underlying magnetization. Here, we show that…
