Advanced Materials, EarlyView.In this work, nonzero Berry curvature in photonic crystals is induced by breaking unit cell inversion symmetry through spatial shifts rather than geometrical modifications. This enables the design of ultraconfined topological states with subwavelength in‐plane field confinement and out‐of‐plane field isolation.

Ce Single Atom‐Engineered Amorphous/Crystalline Nanosheets for Enhanced Alkaline Water Electrolysis
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.We leveraged Ce single‐atom engineering to generate short‐range ordered crystalline nanodomains in amorphous RuOx for creating amorphous/crystalline nanojunctions, in an effort to regulate the water dissociation kinetics for enhanced HER. Specifically, the Ce‐doped crystalline nanodomains greatly reduce the energy barrier to water dissociation and ...

Manipulating Individual Topological Solitons and Bisolitons in an Electronic System
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.While localized topological modes in quantum materials promise loss‐less delivery of classical and quantum information, manipulating them individually has been challenging. This work succeeded in manipulating topological solitons formed along atomic wires on silicon surfaces with high reproducibility in various ways, including translating, transforming

Solvent‐Free Thermal Defect Engineering in Molecular Frameworks With Volatile Linkers
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Thermal removal of neutral volatile linkers enables precise and solvent‐free generation of metal vacancies in MOFs. This strategy affords redox‐stable, coordinatively unsaturated FeII sites with tunable spin, ligand coordination, and catalytic behavior. The approach offers a general route to design defect‐functional materials through local coordination

Unique Impacts of Scandium Doping on Electrode Performance of P’2‐ and P2‐type Na2/3MnO2
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.The structural stability during electrochemical cycling for P’2‐Na2/3MnO2 as a positive electrode for of Na‐ion battery is investigated by modulating the materials via metal substitution and varying the degree of Jahn‐Teller distortion. The cycle stability is maximized when combining Sc doping and the lattice distortion, demonstrating > 300 cycles in ...
