Nature Communications, Published online: 06 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-74177-8 The initially anode-free sodium metal offer advantages in energy density and safety. Here, authors design a grain-boundary Ga-rich polycrystalline aluminum current collector that enables controlled Al3+ dissolution to compensate Na loss, stabilizes Na plating/stripping, and delivers reversible batteries.

Researchers from Arizona State University and Georgia Institute of Technology published “Thermal- and Aging-Aware Rowhammer Vulnerability Analysis of Monolithically-Integrated IWO eDRAM for Edge Platforms”. “This work presents the first comprehensive temperature- and aging-aware vulnerability analysis of amorphous Indium Tungsten Oxide (IWO) embedded DRAM (eDRAM), a promising next-generation memo…

Oral administration is the most prevalent and preferred clinical route due to its non-invasiveness, high patient compliance, and convenience. However, the oral delivery of many therapeutic drugs is hindered by low bioavailability, attributed to multiple gastrointestinal (GI) barriers including acid degradation, enzymatic hydrolysis, poor epithelial permeability, and first-pass metabolism. Liposom…

Nature Communications, Published online: 02 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-73926-z Rechargeable metal||air batteries require high overpotentials. Here, authors reveal that light can dynamically reconfigure the sp-C network in nitrogen-substituted graphdiyne, creating transient catalytic sites that lower the charging voltage and enable stable photo-coupled metal||air batteries.

For decades, the speed of transistors has been approaching its physical limit. Now, researchers have built a new type of vacuum/air channel electron tube that completely eliminates a fatal flaw that has kept such devices out of integrated circuits: gate leakage current. By modulating electron concentration at the cathode instead of intercepting electrons mid flight, the device allows all emitted …
