Air-permeable hydrogels through viscoelastic phase separation of aerogels

Nature, Published online: 08 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10712-3

Viscoelastic phase separation is used to fabricate non-collapsible, air-rich networks in high-water-content hydrogels containing silica aerogel beads, allowing air to permeate through the material and enabling a tenfold increase in oxygen permeability over pristine hydrogels.

In situ nanocrystal confinement for efficient blue perovskite LEDs

Nature, Published online: 10 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10596-3

Efficient blue perovskite light-emitting diodes with an external quantum efficiency of 21.8% are achieved through in situ polymerization-driven nanocrystal confinement.
