Chemical exfoliation of 1-dimensional antiferromagnetic nanoribbons from a non-van der Waals material
We show that simple chemical exfoliation methods can be used to exfoliate non-van der Waals, chain-containing compounds to 1D nanoribbons. After this process, they still retain magnetic behavior.

Contact engineering for 2D Janus MoSSe/metal junctions
This study revealed the transition from Schottky to Ohmic/quasi-Ohmic contacts within the metal–MoSSe junctions and employed machine learning to predict the Schottky barrier, thus facilitating the realization of Ohmic contact in Janus MoSSe devices.

Colloidal synthesis of the mixed ionic–electronic conducting NaSbS2 nanocrystals
Mixed ionic-electronic conducting NaSbS2 NCs with different sizes (50 to 90 nm) and shapes (cube, quasi-spherical cuboctahedra and truncated cubes) were synthesized using a colloidal approach by systematically changing the reaction parameters.

Template-directed 2D nanopatterning of S = 1/2 molecular spins
We demonstrate fabrication of a surface-supported array of VOPc with controlled spin-spin distance, electronic decoupling from the substrate, and individual addressability to realize molecular qubit platforms interfaceable to solid state devices.

Cu and Si co-doping on TiO2 nanosheets to modulate reactive oxygen species for efficient photocatalytic methane conversion
The Cu and Si co-doping could rationally regulate the electronic structure of TiO2 nanosheets and maneuver the reactive oxygen species for methane activation, which achieves significant photocatalytic methane conversion into ethane.

Atomic-scale dents on cellulose nanofibers: the origin of diverse defects in sustainable fibrillar materials
Atomic-scale dent structures on the surfaces of cellulose nanofibers were detected. These dent parts constituted at least 30–40% of the total length of the dispersed nanofibers, and deep dents induced the kinking and fragmentation of nanofibers.
