Encapsulation epitaxy of air-stable 2D superconductors for quantum circuits

Nature, Published online: 05 August 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10865-1

An ‘encapsulation epitaxy’ mechanism is used to grow air-stable, two-dimensional superconducting films at the interface of a 2D–3D hybrid substrate, holding promise for use in fabrication of superconducting quantum circuitry.

Light-induced quantum friction of carbon nanotubes in water

Nature, Published online: 10 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10632-2

Near-infrared fluorescent carbon nanotubes exhibit light-induced quantum friction in water, in which exciton interactions slow nanoscale motion and enable optical control of diffusion and fluid dynamics.
