Abstract Anisotropic polaritons in low-symmetry crystals allow for subwavelength confinement and directional routing of light. The most extreme form of such anisotropy arises at the topological transition between elliptical and hyperbolic dispersion, where the isofrequency contours collapse into parallel lines and polaritons propagate in a diffractionless, beam-like fashion. Th…

Room-temperature spin control in semiconductors is fundamental to spin-optoelectronics. Although inversion symmetry breaking offers one path for spin control in semiconductors, strong spin dephasing at elevated temperatures remains a persistent limitation. Hidden spin polarization without global symmetry breaking provides another promising material design strategy, but robust s…

Single-molecule localization microscopy enables high-resolution biological imaging, but its precision is limited by the rapid photobleaching of conventional fluorophores. Multicolour imaging is further constrained by the need for spectrally distinct dyes requiring separate excitations or sequential acquisition. Here we show that small (~10 nm) upconverting nanoparticles can be …
Hormones and metabolites jointly regulate physiology yet their dynamic interplay remains difficult to resolve due to the lack of technologies for continuous, multiplexed monitoring. Microneedle biosensors that access dermal interstitial fluid offer a minimally invasive approach to molecular profiling, but deployment is limited by trade-offs between fabrication scalability and p…
On-chip blue lasers are essential for data storage, quantum photonics, optical communications and lab-on-chip sensing. Existing GaN-based devices deliver high performance but demand lattice-matched substrates, involve complex architectures and suffer from high optical losses in the visible range. Here we extend the CMOS-compatible fabrication methodology used to incorporate emi…
With their atomic precision and synthetically tailorable properties, molecules offer new possibilities for emerging computing, sensing, optical and quantum technologies. However, the scalable, damage-free integration of molecules into active devices with atomic-scale control remains a critical challenge due to incompatibility with existing top-down fabrication processes. Here w…
Abstract Plasmonic nanocavities enable the synchronization of spatially distant emissive dipoles through strong near-field coupling in subnanometre gaps. Yet, it remains unclear how collective phase order can emerge in nanoscale optical systems where dissipation, disorder and ultrafast radiative loss normally suppress long-lived coherence. Here we report the formation of a room…

Efficient charge transport remains a fundamental challenge for nanoelectronic devices, as their performance is constrained by high dissipation and the impedance mismatch between high-frequency signal sources and nanoscale circuit interfaces. Although topologically protected helical edge modes offer a dissipationless and backscattering-resilient alternative, achieving nanoscale …
Cancer stem-like cells contribute to innate tumour immunoresistance and an immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment, leading to poor responses to immune checkpoint inhibitors. Chemotherapeutic agents can elicit tumour immunogenicity by inducing immunogenic cell death to reinforce the therapeutic efficacies of immune checkpoint inhibitors, but suffer from inefficient immunogeni…

Targeted clearance of pre-existing amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregation remains a central challenge in Alzheimer's disease (AD) therapy. Here we report a computationally guided protein-gold hybrid nanostructure, Aβ3FTnAu, that integrates Aβ-recognition motifs into self-assembled human ferritin nanocages containing structurally defined gold nanoclusters composed of 12 gold atoms wit…
Current technologies for measuring cancer metabolism have limited clinical utility, as they require invasive tissue sampling and lack analytical versatility. Here, we report a programmable nanotechnology platform that directly profiles extracellular vesicles (EVs) in patient biofluids to comprehensively capture metabolic alterations within the tumour milieu. This technology, te…
