Scalable quasi-pure MOF membranes for energy-efficient gas separations

Nature, Published online: 15 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10655-9

Scalable quasi-pure metal–organic framework membranes achieve near-intrinsic separation performance, enabling energy-efficient industrial gas separations with major cost reductions compared with distillation.

Controlled solid-state crystallization with formamidinium acetate for fully vacuum-deposited perovskite solar cells

Nature Energy, Published online: 14 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41560-026-02093-8

Vacuum-processed perovskite solar cells show promise, yet their efficiency remains limited. Xu et al. use formamidinium acetate to promote perovskite crystallization, achieving a 25.5% power conversion efficiency and 1,000 h operational stability.

Tin perovskite transistors stabilized through volatile coordination

Nature, Published online: 01 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10714-1

A volatile-assisted coordination strategy regulates surface defect chemistry and self-doping, thus stabilizing the stoichiometry of tin perovskite semiconductors, resulting in transistors that can maintain stable operation for a month at temperatures of 100 °C.

A 5.3-million-year-old deep-sea whale necropolis in the Diamantina Zone

Nature, Published online: 10 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10546-z

Researchers uncovered an enormous deep-sea accumulation of whale remains in the southeastern Indian Ocean, showing long-term, specialized ecosystems and an extensive fossil record that offers new insight into deep-ocean biodiversity and whale evolutionary history.

A thalamus–brainstem attractor network drives history-biased decisions

Nature, Published online: 10 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10623-3

Whole-brain, cellular-resolution imaging reveals a hierarchical thalamus–brainstem attractor network that encodes recent history and shapes behavioural bias in zebrafish.

Highly stable Mn–Sn flow batteries towards low-temperature energy storage

Energy Environ. Sci., 2026, 19,3924-3933
DOI: 10.1039/D6EE01772J, Paper
Yu Shu, Yexuan Yu, Hongjie Xiao, Ziyi Xiang, Liping Wan, Guodong Li, Yao Liu, Jianhang Huang, Yonggang Wang
An acidic Mn–Sn flow battery was developed to overcome low-temperature limitations, enabling operation at an unprecedented temperature of −45 °C, which exhibits a high energy efficiency of up to 85% and energy density of 48 Wh L−1.
