Defect engineering can transform inert two-dimensional (2D) materials into chemically active and electronically tunable platforms by creating anchoring sites for metal atoms and clusters. Nevertheless, precise control over the formation, thermodynamic and kinetic stability, electronic structure, and chemical reactivit…

We developed a new mechanistic model for lithium and cobalt recovery during acidic-reductive leaching from LiCoO$_2$. The system considers HCl as an acid and H$_2$O$_2$ as a reducing agent. The model tracks conversion of LCO, the particle radius, the acid, H$_2$O$_2$, formation-dissolution dynamics of Co$_3$O$_4$ film…

Large natural earthquakes are typically mediated by frictional pulse-like rupture, which features a finite slipping zone. Recently, a comprehensive two-dimensional theory of frictional slip pulses has been developed. It predicts that pulses are categorically unstable rupture modes, whose evolution is intrinsically slo…

Inorganic solid-state electrolytes must combine high room-temperature ionic conductivity, a wide electrochemical window, excellent electronic insulation, and favorable mechanical compliance. Single models struggle to support reliable multi-objective screening across vast chemical spaces because of training-data distri…

The discovery of chiral phonons has expanded the conventional view of lattice vibrations as passive heat carriers, opening new opportunities for phononic spintronic devices. However, their realization has been largely limited to chiral crystals or to specific regions of momentum space in certain achiral materials. Her…

Magnetically doped CeO$_2$ is a dilute magnetic semiconductor, promising for various applications in photonics, but the origin of its ferromagnetic properties is not fully understood. Here, thin films of Ce$_{1-x}$Co$_x$O$_{2-δ}$ prepared by pulsed laser deposition on MgO ($x=0.05$ and $0.10$) and oxidized Si ($x=0.20…

Self-driving laboratories (SDLs) are transforming materials research by closing the loop among synthesis, characterization, data analysis and experimental decision making. Bayesian optimization (BO) is a decision engine for these loops because it can select experiments from scarce and noisy data while balancing exploi…

Numerous insulators, including non-magnetic ones, have been unexpectedly found to display a finite thermal Hall signal, which has stimulated debate about its origin. Here, we report on a study of the thermal Hall effect in two diamond single crystals. The transverse thermal conductivity (kappa_xy) was found to peak at…

The rapid growth of generative AI has intensified the need for efficient heat dissipation in large-scale data centers. To control heat flow, thermal metamaterials with layered structures have been widely used, which impart the anisotropic properties of thermal conductivities. However, the conventional effective medium…

Collective intelligence can emerge when individuals coordinate through a shared environment, allowing local actions to accumulate into durable social organization. Language-model agents offer a new substrate for this process, yet most multi-agent systems rely on direct conversation, predefined roles, or centralized wo…

The study of low-dimensional and anisotropic magnetism is a promising avenue for the discovery of novel quantum phenomena. Mixed-anion materials, defined by the coordination of metal cations by two or more distinct anionic species, provide an intrinsically anisotropic platform for the tuning of structural, magnetic, a…

We demonstrate that exciton-phonon coupling in polar semiconductors is governed by a parity-controlled interference selection rule. By performing an exact multipole expansion of the excitonic form factor and validating it against numerical integration of hydrogenic envelope functions, we show that the long-range infra…
