Optical cooling by interfacial charge transfer in 2D heterostructures

Nature, Published online: 24 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10662-w

Optical cooling in two-dimensional semiconductor heterostructures is demonstrated through phonon-assisted interfacial charge transfer, enabling cryogen-free thermal management without stringent quantum-efficiency requirements.

Precipitation threshold-driven shifts in dominant controls of ecosystem nitrogen retention

Nature Geoscience, Published online: 25 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41561-026-01992-5

The dominant control of soil nitrogen retention changes at a threshold of around 700 mm precipitation, according to an analysis of soil nitrogen and biogeochemical measurements from 31 sites across the United States.
