The solid electrolyte interphase is the volatile film that dictates a battery's lifespan, yet its amorphous structure has long defied detailed analysis. By harnessing machine learning potentials trained on disordered atomic arrangements, researchers have finally forged a digital key to unlock this microscopic black box.

Researchers are moving beyond spatially structured materials to explore systems that change their physical properties in time. This approach allows for the creation of dynamic media with emergent behaviours that have no equivalent in static materials, though significant modelling challenges remain.

New research challenges the idea that vision is a one-way street, showing instead that language-based knowledge actively shapes how we perceive the world. By comparing AI models with brain scans, scientists found that abstract meaning acts as a scaffold to organise raw visual inputs.

Researchers have successfully engineered 2D germanane to act as a chiral spin-filtering material. By dynamically controlling electron spin polarisation, this development could enable highly efficient molecular switches for next-generation quantum technologies.

Researchers have developed a method to synthesize single-atom catalysts at room temperature using the electrochemical reactions inside lithium-ion batteries. This approach achieves high metal loading and stability, bypassing the need for energy-intensive high-temperature processes.
