  text: Catalytic microswimmers convert the chemical energy from fuel into motion.
    They sustain chemical gradients and fluid flows that propel them by phoresis.
    This leads to unconventional behavior and collective dynamics, such as self-organization
    into complex structures. Characterizing the nonequilibrium interactions of microswimmers
    is crucial for advancing our understanding of active systems. However, this remains
    a challenge owing to the importance of fluctuations at the microscale and the
    difficulty in disentangling the different contributions to the interactions. Here,
    we show a massive dependence of the nonequilibrium interactions on the shape of
    catalytic microswimmers. We perform tracking experiments at high throughput to
    map interactions between nanocolloidal tracers and dimeric microswimmers of various
    aspect ratios. Our method leverages dual tracers with differing phoretic mobilities
    to quantitatively disentangle phoretic motion from hydrodynamic advection. This
    approach is validated through experiments on single chemically active sites and
    on immobilized catalytic microswimmers. We further investigate the activity-driven
    interactions of free microswimmers and directly measure their phoretic interactions.
    When compared to standard models, our findings highlight the important role of
    osmotic flows for microswimmers near surfaces and reveal an enhanced contribution
    of hydrodynamic advection relative to phoretic motion as the size of the microswimmer
    increases. Our study provides robust measurements of the nonequilibrium interactions
    from catalytic microswimmers and lays the groundwork for a realistic description
    of active systems.

  text: The SiOx anode exhibits a high specific capacity and commendable durability
    for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, its practical application is hindered
    by significant volumetric fluctuations during lithiation/delithiation, alongside
    a metastable nature, which induces mechanical instability and irreversible lithium
    consumption, ultimately impairing long-term capacity retention in full-battery
    cell configurations. In this study, we present a phase-engineering approach designed
    to improve the structural stability of SiOx anodes for LIB applications. By incorporating
    lithium fluoride, amorphous SiOx undergoes partial transformation into a quartz-like
    phase, which enhances mechanical integrity and mitigates irreversible lithium
    loss. This modified anode demonstrates significantly improved stability and prolonged
    cycle lifespan. Through a combination of multiscale simulations and in situ characterizations,
    we elucidate the stabilization mechanisms conferred by the quartz phase, providing
    critical insights into the role of SiOx’s crystal structure in influencing degradation
    pathways. This work introduces an accessible and efficient method for controlling
    the crystallinity of SiOx, offering a practical solution to enhance the durability
    of high-energy-density LIBs.

  text: nspired by Richard Feynman’s 1959 lecture and the 1966 film Fantastic Voyage,
    the field of micro/nanorobots has evolved from science fiction to reality, with
    significant advancements in biomedical and environmental applications. Despite
    the rapid progress, the deployment of functional micro/nanorobots remains limited.
    This review of the technology roadmap identifies key challenges hindering their
    widespread use, focusing on propulsion mechanisms, fundamental theoretical aspects,
    collective behavior, material design, and embodied intelligence. We explore the
    current state of micro/nanorobot technology, with an emphasis on applications
    in biomedicine, environmental remediation, analytical sensing, and other industrial
    technological aspects. Additionally, we analyze issues related to scaling up production,
    commercialization, and regulatory frameworks that are crucial for transitioning
    from research to practical applications. We also emphasize the need for interdisciplinary
    collaboration to address both technical and nontechnical challenges, such as sustainability,
    ethics, and business considerations. Finally, we propose a roadmap for future
    research to accelerate the development of micro/nanorobots, positioning them as
    essential tools for addressing grand challenges and enhancing the quality of life.

  text: Nanocrystals (NCs) of various compositions have made important contributions
    to science and technology, with their impact recognized by the 2023 Nobel Prize
    in Chemistry for the discovery and synthesis of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs).
    Over four decades of research into NCs has led to numerous advancements in diverse
    fields, such as optoelectronics, catalysis, energy, medicine, and recently, quantum
    information and computing. The last 10 years since the predecessor perspective
    “Prospect of Nanoscience with Nanocrystals” was published in ACS Nano have seen
    NC research continuously evolve, yielding critical advances in fundamental understanding
    and practical applications. Mechanistic insights into NC formation have translated
    into precision control over NC size, shape, and composition. Emerging synthesis
    techniques have broadened the landscape of compounds obtainable in colloidal NC
    form. Sophistication in surface chemistry, jointly bolstered by theoretical models
    and experimental findings, has facilitated refined control over NC properties
    and represents a trusted gateway to enhanced NC stability and processability.
    The assembly of NCs into superlattices, along with two-dimensional (2D) photolithography
    and three-dimensional (3D) printing, has expanded their utility in creating materials
    with tailored properties. Applications of NCs are also flourishing, consolidating
    progress in fields targeted early on, such as optoelectronics and catalysis, and
    extending into areas ranging from quantum technology to phase-change memories.
    In this perspective, we review the extensive progress in research on NCs over
    the past decade and highlight key areas where future research may bring further
    breakthroughs.

  text: SnTe has attracted significant research interest as a lead-free alternative
    to PbTe; however, its intrinsically high hole concentration results in an undesirably
    low Seebeck coefficient and elevated electronic thermal conductivity, thus significantly
    limiting its thermoelectric (TE) performance. Herein, we present a cost-effective,
    binary thiol-amine-mediated colloidal synthesis method to synthesize Bi-doped
    SnTe nanoparticles, eliminating the use of tri-n-octylphosphine-based precursors.
    The introduction of an electron-rich Bi dopant reduces the hole concentration
    and increases the Seebeck coefficient. Furthermore, post-synthetic surface treatment
    with chalcogenidocadmate complexes promotes atomic interdiffusion during annealing
    and consolidation, leading to compositional redistribution and modulation of the
    electronic band structure. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal
    that co-modification via Bi doping and CdSe-derived chalcogen incorporation reduces
    the energy offset at the valence band maxima from 0.30 eV to 0.10 eV, thereby
    enhancing valence band degeneracy. The synergistic structural and electronic band
    structure modulations produce an SnTe-based material with a record high power
    factor of 2.1 mW m–1 K–2 at 900 K, a maximum TE figure of merit (zT) of 1.2, and
    a promising theoretical conversion efficiency of 8.3%. This study reports a versatile
    and scalable colloidal synthesis strategy that integrates hierarchical structural
    modulation with electronic band engineering, offering a synergistic route to significantly
    enhance the TE performance.

  text: In X-ray tubes, more than 99% of the kilowatts of power supplied to generate
    X-rays via bremsstrahlung is lost as heat in the anode. Therefore, thermal management
    is a critical barrier to the development of more powerful X-ray tubes with higher
    brightness and spatial coherence, which are needed to translate imaging modalities
    such as phase-contrast imaging to the clinic. In rotating anode X-ray tubes, the
    most common design, thermal radiation is a bottleneck that prevents efficient
    cooling of the anode─the hottest part of the device by far. We predict that nanophotonic
    patterning of the anode of an X-ray tube enhances heat dissipation via thermal
    radiation, enabling it to operate at higher powers without an increase in temperature.
    The focal spot size, which is related to the spatial coherence of generated X-rays,
    can also be reduced at a constant temperature. A major advantage of our “nanophotonic
    thermal management” approach is that in principle, it allows complete control
    over the spectrum and direction of thermal radiation, which can lead to optimal
    thermal routing and improved performance.

  text: We explore the potential of nanocrystals (a term used equivalently to nanoparticles)
    as building blocks for nanomaterials, and the current advances and open challenges
    for fundamental science developments and applications. Nanocrystal assemblies
    are inherently multiscale, and the generation of revolutionary material properties
    requires a precise understanding of the relationship between structure and function,
    the former being determined by classical effects and the latter often by quantum
    effects. With an emphasis on theory and computation, we discuss challenges that
    hamper current assembly strategies and to what extent nanocrystal assemblies represent
    thermodynamic equilibrium or kinetically trapped metastable states. We also examine
    dynamic effects and optimization of assembly protocols. Finally, we discuss promising
    material functions and examples of their realization with nanocrystal assemblies.

  text: Collagen is the most abundant protein in tissue scaffolds in live organisms.
    Collagen can self-assemble in vitro, which has led to a number of biotechnological
    and biomedical applications. To understand the dominant factors that participate
    in the formation of collagen nanostructures, here we study in real time and with
    nanoscale resolution the disassembly and reassembly of collagens. We implement
    a high-speed force microscope, which provides in situ high spatiotemporal resolution
    images of collagen nanostructures under changing pH conditions. The disassembly
    and reassembly are dominated by the electrostatic interactions among amino-acid
    residues of different molecules. Acidic conditions favor disassembly by neutralizing
    negatively charged residues. The process sets a net repulsive force between collagen
    molecules. A neutral pH favors the presence of negative and positively charged
    residues along the collagen molecules, which promotes their electrostatic attraction.
    Molecular dynamics simulations reproduce the experimental behavior and validate
    the electrostatic-based model of the disassembly and reassembly processes.

  text: Cu2–xS and Cu2–xSe have recently been reported as promising thermoelectric
    (TE) materials for medium-temperature applications. In contrast, Cu2–xTe, another
    member of the copper chalcogenide family, typically exhibits low Seebeck coefficients
    that limit its potential to achieve a superior thermoelectric figure of merit,
    zT, particularly in the low-temperature range where this material could be effective.
    To address this, we investigated the TE performance of Cu1.5–xTe–Cu2Se nanocomposites
    by consolidating surface-engineered Cu1.5Te nanocrystals. This surface engineering
    strategy allows for precise adjustment of Cu/Te ratios and results in a reversible
    phase transition at around 600 K in Cu1.5–xTe–Cu2Se nanocomposites, as systematically
    confirmed by in situ high-temperature X-ray diffraction combined with differential
    scanning calorimetry analysis. The phase transition leads to a conversion from
    metallic-like to semiconducting-like TE properties. Additionally, a layer of Cu2Se
    generated around Cu1.5–xTe nanoparticles effectively inhibits Cu1.5–xTe grain
    growth, minimizing thermal conductivity and decreasing hole concentration. These
    properties indicate that copper telluride based compounds have a promising thermoelectric
    potential, translated into a high dimensionless zT of 1.3 at 560 K.

  text: AgSbSe2 is a promising thermoelectric (TE) p-type material for applications
    in the middle-temperature range. AgSbSe2 is characterized by relatively low thermal
    conductivities and high Seebeck coefficients, but its main limitation is moderate
    electrical conductivity. Herein, we detail an efficient and scalable hot-injection
    synthesis route to produce AgSbSe2 nanocrystals (NCs). To increase the carrier
    concentration and improve the electrical conductivity, these NCs are doped with
    Sn2+ on Sb3+ sites. Upon processing, the Sn2+ chemical state is conserved using
    a reducing NaBH4 solution to displace the organic ligand and anneal the material
    under a forming gas flow. The TE properties of the dense materials obtained from
    the consolidation of the NCs using a hot pressing are then characterized. The
    presence of Sn2+ ions replacing Sb3+ significantly increases the charge carrier
    concentration and, consequently, the electrical conductivity. Opportunely, the
    measured Seebeck coefficient varied within a small range upon Sn doping. The excellent
    performance obtained when Sn2+ ions are prevented from oxidation is rationalized
    by modeling the system. Calculated band structures disclosed that Sn doping induces
    convergence of the AgSbSe2 valence bands, accounting for an enhanced electronic
    effective mass. The dramatically enhanced carrier transport leads to a maximized
    power factor for AgSb0.98Sn0.02Se2 of 0.63 mW m–1 K–2 at 640 K. Thermally, phonon
    scattering is significantly enhanced in the NC-based materials, yielding an ultralow
    thermal conductivity of 0.3 W mK–1 at 666 K. Overall, a record-high figure of
    merit (zT) is obtained at 666 K for AgSb0.98Sn0.02Se2 at zT = 1.37, well above
    the values obtained for undoped AgSbSe2, at zT = 0.58 and state-of-art Pb- and
    Te-free materials, which makes AgSb0.98Sn0.02Se2 an excellent p-type candidate
    for medium-temperature TE applications.

  text: The self-assembly of nanoparticles driven by small molecules or ions may produce
    colloidal superlattices with features and properties reminiscent of those of metals
    or semiconductors. However, to what extent the properties of such supramolecular
    crystals actually resemble those of atomic materials often remains unclear. Here,
    we present coarse-grained molecular simulations explicitly demonstrating how a
    behavior evocative of that of semiconductors may emerge in a colloidal superlattice.
    As a case study, we focus on gold nanoparticles bearing positively charged groups
    that self-assemble into FCC crystals via mediation by citrate counterions. In
    silico ohmic experiments show how the dynamically diverse behavior of the ions
    in different superlattice domains allows the opening of conductive ionic gates
    above certain levels of applied electric fields. The observed binary conductive/nonconductive
    behavior is reminiscent of that of conventional semiconductors, while, at a supramolecular
    level, crossing the “band gap” requires a sufficient electrostatic stimulus to
    break the intermolecular interactions and make ions diffuse throughout the superlattice’s
    cavities.

  text: SnSe has emerged as one of the most promising materials for thermoelectric
    energy conversion due to its extraordinary performance in its single-crystal form
    and its low-cost constituent elements. However, to achieve an economic impact,
    the polycrystalline counterpart needs to replicate the performance of the single
    crystal. Herein, we optimize the thermoelectric performance of polycrystalline
    SnSe produced by consolidating solution-processed and surface-engineered SnSe
    particles. In particular, the SnSe particles are coated with CdSe molecular complexes
    that crystallize during the sintering process, forming CdSe nanoparticles. The
    presence of CdSe nanoparticles inhibits SnSe grain growth during the consolidation
    step due to Zener pinning, yielding a material with a high density of grain boundaries.
    Moreover, the resulting SnSe–CdSe nanocomposites present a large number of defects
    at different length scales, which significantly reduce the thermal conductivity.
    The produced SnSe–CdSe nanocomposites exhibit thermoelectric figures of merit
    up to 2.2 at 786 K, which is among the highest reported for solution-processed
    SnSe.

  text: Cu2–xS has become one of the most promising thermoelectric materials for application
    in the middle-high temperature range. Its advantages include the abundance, low
    cost, and safety of its elements and a high performance at relatively elevated
    temperatures. However, stability issues limit its operation current and temperature,
    thus calling for the optimization of the material performance in the middle temperature
    range. Here, we present a synthetic protocol for large scale production of covellite
    CuS nanoparticles at ambient temperature and atmosphere, and using water as a
    solvent. The crystal phase and stoichiometry of the particles are afterward tuned
    through an annealing process at a moderate temperature under inert or reducing
    atmosphere. While annealing under argon results in Cu1.8S nanopowder with a rhombohedral
    crystal phase, annealing in an atmosphere containing hydrogen leads to tetragonal
    Cu1.96S. High temperature X-ray diffraction analysis shows the material annealed
    in argon to transform to the cubic phase at ca. 400 K, while the material annealed
    in the presence of hydrogen undergoes two phase transitions, first to hexagonal
    and then to the cubic structure. The annealing atmosphere, temperature, and time
    allow adjustment of the density of copper vacancies and thus tuning of the charge
    carrier concentration and material transport properties. In this direction, the
    material annealed under Ar is characterized by higher electrical conductivities
    but lower Seebeck coefficients than the material annealed in the presence of hydrogen.
    By optimizing the charge carrier concentration through the annealing time, Cu2–xS
    with record figures of merit in the middle temperature range, up to 1.41 at 710
    K, is obtained. We finally demonstrate that this strategy, based on a low-cost
    and scalable solution synthesis process, is also suitable for the production of
    high performance Cu2–xS layers using high throughput and cost-effective printing
    technologies.

  text: In 2020, many in-person scientific events were canceled due to the COVID-19
    pandemic, creating a vacuum in networking and knowledge exchange between scientists.
    To fill this void in scientific communication, a group of early career nanocrystal
    enthusiasts launched the virtual seminar series, News in Nanocrystals, in the
    summer of 2020. By the end of the year, the series had attracted over 850 participants
    from 46 countries. In this Nano Focus, we describe the process of organizing the
    News in Nanocrystals seminar series; discuss its growth, emphasizing what the
    organizers have learned in terms of diversity and accessibility; and provide an
    outlook for the next steps and future opportunities. This summary and analysis
    of experiences and learned lessons are intended to inform the broader scientific
    community, especially those who are looking for avenues to continue fostering
    discussion and scientific engagement virtually, both during the pandemic and after.
acknowledgement: K. E. Shulenberger, M. D. Klein, T. Šverko, and H. R. Keller would

  text: Methodologies that involve the use of nanoparticles as “artificial atoms”
    to rationally build materials in a bottom-up fashion are particularly well-suited
    to control the matter at the nanoscale. Colloidal synthetic routes allow for an
    exquisite control over such “artificial atoms” in terms of size, shape, and crystal
    phase as well as core and surface compositions. We present here a bottom-up approach
    to produce Pb–Ag–K–S–Te nanocomposites, which is a highly promising system for
    thermoelectric energy conversion. First, we developed a high-yield and scalable
    colloidal synthesis route to uniform lead sulfide (PbS) nanorods, whose tips are
    made of silver sulfide (Ag2S). We then took advantage of the large surface-to-volume
    ratio to introduce a p-type dopant (K) by replacing native organic ligands with
    K2Te. Upon thermal consolidation, K2Te-surface modified PbS–Ag2S nanorods yield
    p-type doped nanocomposites with PbTe and PbS as major phases and Ag2S and Ag2Te
    as embedded nanoinclusions. Thermoelectric characterization of such consolidated
    nanosolids showed a high thermoelectric figure-of-merit of 1 at 620 K.

  text: DNA origami nano-objects are usually designed around generic single-stranded
    “scaffolds”. Many properties of the target object are determined by details of
    those generic scaffold sequences. Here, we enable designers to fully specify the
    target structure not only in terms of desired 3D shape but also in terms of the
    sequences used. To this end, we built design tools to construct scaffold sequences
    de novo based on strand diagrams, and we developed scalable production methods
    for creating design-specific scaffold strands with fully user-defined sequences.
    We used 17 custom scaffolds having different lengths and sequence properties to
    study the influence of sequence redundancy and sequence composition on multilayer
    DNA origami assembly and to realize efficient one-pot assembly of multiscaffold
    DNA origami objects. Furthermore, as examples for functionalized scaffolds, we
    created a scaffold that enables direct, covalent cross-linking of DNA origami
    via UV irradiation, and we built DNAzyme-containing scaffolds that allow postfolding
    DNA origami domain separation.

  text: Hydrogelation, the self-assembly of molecules into soft, water-loaded networks,
    is one way to bridge the structural gap between single molecules and functional
    materials. The potential of hydrogels, such as those based on perylene bisimides,
    lies in their chemical, physical, optical, and electronic properties, which are
    governed by the supramolecular structure of the gel. However, the structural motifs
    and their precise role for long-range conductivity are yet to be explored. Here,
    we present a comprehensive structural picture of a perylene bisimide hydrogel,
    suggesting that its long-range conductivity is limited by charge transfer between
    electronic backbones. We reveal nanocrystalline ribbon-like structures as the
    electronic and structural backbone units between which charge transfer is mediated
    by polar solvent bridges. We exemplify this effect with sensing, where exposure
    to polar vapor enhances conductivity by 5 orders of magnitude, emphasizing the
    crucial role of the interplay between structural motif and surrounding medium
    for the rational design of devices based on nanocrystalline hydrogels.

  text: Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) form gateways that control molecular exchange
    between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. They impose a diffusion barrier to macromolecules
    and enable the selective transport of nuclear transport receptors with bound cargo.
    The underlying mechanisms that establish these permeability properties remain
    to be fully elucidated but require unstructured nuclear pore proteins rich in
    Phe-Gly (FG)-repeat domains of different types, such as FxFG and GLFG. While physical
    modeling and in vitro approaches have provided a framework for explaining how
    the FG network contributes to the barrier and transport properties of the NPC,
    it remains unknown whether the number and/or the spatial positioning of different
    FG-domains along a cylindrical, ∼40 nm diameter transport channel contributes
    to their collective properties and function. To begin to answer these questions,
    we have used DNA origami to build a cylinder that mimics the dimensions of the
    central transport channel and can house a specified number of FG-domains at specific
    positions with easily tunable design parameters, such as grafting density and
    topology. We find the overall morphology of the FG-domain assemblies to be dependent
    on their chemical composition, determined by the type and density of FG-repeat,
    and on their architectural confinement provided by the DNA cylinder, largely consistent
    with here presented molecular dynamics simulations based on a coarse-grained polymer
    model. In addition, high-speed atomic force microscopy reveals local and reversible
    FG-domain condensation that transiently occludes the lumen of the DNA central
    channel mimics, suggestive of how the NPC might establish its permeability properties.

  text: Lead halide perovskite materials have attracted significant attention in the
    context of photovoltaics and other optoelectronic applications, and recently,
    research efforts have been directed to nanostructured lead halide perovskites.
    Collodial nanocrystals (NCs) of cesium lead halides (CsPbX3, X = Cl, Br, I) exhibit
    bright photoluminescence, with emission tunable over the entire visible spectral
    region. However, previous studies on CsPbX3 NCs did not address key aspects of
    their chemistry and photophysics such as surface chemistry and quantitative light
    absorption. Here, we elaborate on the synthesis of CsPbBr3 NCs and their surface
    chemistry. In addition, the intrinsic absorption coefficient was determined experimentally
    by combining elemental analysis with accurate optical absorption measurements.
    1H solution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to characterize sample
    purity, elucidate the surface chemistry, and evaluate the influence of purification
    methods on the surface composition. We find that ligand binding to the NC surface
    is highly dynamic, and therefore, ligands are easily lost during the isolation
    and purification procedures. However, when a small amount of both oleic acid and
    oleylamine is added, the NCs can be purified, maintaining optical, colloidal,
    and material integrity. In addition, we find that a high amine content in the
    ligand shell increases the quantum yield due to the improved binding of the carboxylic
    acid.

  text: One key goal of DNA nanotechnology is the bottom-up construction of macroscopic
    crystalline materials. Beyond applications in fields such as photonics or plasmonics,
    DNA-based crystal matrices could possibly facilitate the diffraction-based structural
    analysis of guest molecules. Seeman and co-workers reported in 2009 the first
    designed crystal matrices based on a 38 kDa DNA triangle that was composed of
    seven chains. The crystal lattice was stabilized, unprecedentedly, by Watson–Crick
    base pairing. However, 3D crystallization of larger designed DNA objects that
    include more chains such as DNA origami remains an unsolved problem. Larger objects
    would offer more degrees of freedom and design options with respect to tailoring
    lattice geometry and for positioning other objects within a crystal lattice. The
    greater rigidity of multilayer DNA origami could also positively influence the
    diffractive properties of crystals composed of such particles. Here, we rationally
    explore the role of heterogeneity and Watson–Crick interaction strengths in crystal
    growth using 40 variants of the original DNA triangle as model multichain objects.
    Crystal growth of the triangle was remarkably robust despite massive chemical,
    geometrical, and thermodynamical sample heterogeneity that we introduced, but
    the crystal growth sensitively depended on the sequences of base pairs next to
    the Watson–Crick sticky ends of the triangle. Our results point to weak lattice
    interactions and high concentrations as decisive factors for achieving productive
    crystallization, while sample heterogeneity and impurities played a minor role.
