How a polaron loses its quasiparticle coherence with increasing temperature is a long-standing open problem. Holstein addressed it in 1959 only in the extreme antiadiabatic, strong-coupling limit, while more recent numerically exact approaches are largely restricted to one dimension. Here we solve this problem on squa…

Predicting charge transport in strongly anharmonic materials, particularly ultralow thermal conductors, remains a major challenge for first-principles methods. In such systems, perturbative treatments of electron-phonon interactions and the harmonic phonon picture often break down, necessitating non-perturbative appro…

Using substitutional Mn in graphene/Cu(111) as a model point defect, we combine scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) to test the predicted fingerprints of resonant scattering. As the Mn concentration increases to 0.44%, the Dirac point stretching reaches 0.52 eV, wh…

Antiferromagnets hold appealing potential in next-generation spintronic devices with higher frequency and scalability, thanks to their alternating spin orientations that cancel out net magnetization. However, the lack of a nonzero magnetization makes the detection of the magnetic configuration of antiferromagnet diffi…

We are witnessing an explosion of agentic systems for computational chemistry simulations: from half a dozen in 2024 to a dozen in 2025, and the current number approaches fifty, surveyed in this Perspective as of 8 August 2026. The capabilities of these agentic systems are shifting from assisting in performing a selec…

Optically pumped room temperature masers are a promising platform for driven dissipative spin photon physics beyond steady state emission. Here we observe a sequence of dynamical thresholds in a room temperature nitrogen vacancy diamond maser as the optical pump is increased above the conventional masing threshold. Th…

Machine-learned exchange--correlation (XC) functionals offer a route to improve Kohn--Sham density-functional theory without incurring the cost of explicitly correlated electronic-structure methods. Their use in production simulation codes, however, requires a well-defined mapping between the learned model and the hos…

In layered materials, spacing and stacking-order extent are usually locked. Here we show that in swollen suspensions of stiff, charged nanosheets they decouple, and that this defines a distinct regime, apart from the crystalline- and Wigner-swelling regimes such systems usually occupy. The mean spacing stays sharp and…

The formation of bound bosonic pairs of fermions, followed by their Bose-Einstein (quasi) condensation (BEC), is a foundational mechanism of superconductivity. At low filling, flat-band superconductivity is well captured by this mechanism provided the flat band is separated from the occupied lower band by an energy ga…
