Rechargeable Li–S batteries offer high energy density but are limited by low voltage, sluggish kinetics and polysulfide shuttling. Here the authors report a chlorine-mediated Li||S2Cl2 chemistry enabling reversible three-electron sulfur redox with increased voltage and capacity.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.Nature Geoscience, Published online: 15 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41561-026-02042-w
Krypton and xenon in lunar farside soils are derived from solar wind and suggest deeper penetration because the solar wind is not slowed by Earth’s magnetosphere. This contrasts with the nearside, according to noble gas analyses of soil samples collected by the Chang’e-6 mission.
