Agentic LLM Reasoning in a Self-Driving Laboratory for Air-Sensitive Lithium Halide Spinel Conductors

Kavli Affiliate: Gerbrand Ceder| Summary:Self-driving laboratories promise to accelerate materials discovery. Yet current automated solid-state synthesis platforms are limited to ambient conditions, thereby precluding their use for air-sensitive materials. Here, we present A-Lab for Glovebox Powder Solid-state Synthesis (A-Lab GPSS), a robotic platform capable of synthesizing and characterizing air-sensitive inorganic materials under strict air-free conditions. […]

Strain continuously rotates the Néel vector in altermagnetic MnTe

Kavli Affiliate: James Analytis| Summary:Altermagnetism has recently emerged as a distinct class of collinear antiferromagnets that break time-reversal symmetry, exhibiting a host of novel properties. Applied strain has attracted particular attention as a key tuning parameter for altermagnets. Although several experimental studies have demonstrated the preparation of single-domain states through a combination of applied strain […]

Topochemically-engineered coexistence of charge and spin orders in intercalated endotaxial heterostructures

Kavli Affiliate: Kwabena Bediako| Summary:Correlated electron systems that host multiple electronic orders offer routes to multifunctional quantum materials, but strong competition between these orders often prevents their coexistence. Here we show that nanoscale, metastable intercalated heterostructures can stabilize a rare combination of long-range magnetism and a commensurate charge density wave (C-CDW) order in a single […]

Faster Symmetric Rendezvous on Four or More Locations

Kavli Affiliate: Felix Fischer | Summary:In the symmetric rendezvous problem two players follow the same (randomized) strategy to visit one of $n$ locations in each time step $t=0,1,2,dots$. Their goal is to minimize the expected time until they visit the same location and thus meet. Anderson and Weber [J. Appl. Prob., 1990] proposed a strategy […]

annbatch unlocks terabyte-scale training of biological data in anndata

Kavli Affiliate: Felix Fischer | Summary:The scale of biological datasets now routinely exceeds system memory, making data access rather than model computation the primary bottleneck in training machine-learning models. This bottleneck is particularly acute in biology, where widely used community data formats must support heterogeneous metadata, sparse and dense assays, and downstream analysis within established […]

Enantiopurity-Controlled Magnetism in a Two-Dimensional Organic-Inorganic Material

Kavli Affiliate: Kwabena Bediako| Summary:Extended solids that combine unpaired electron spin and structural chirality can host unconventional magnetic behaviors with potential for electronic technologies. A versatile strategy for creating chiral solids is incorporation of chiral organic molecules into inorganic crystals. However, such hybrid organic-inorganic materials have so far been examined through the lens of absolute […]

Visualizing Millisecond Atomic Dynamics of Nanocrystals in Liquid

Kavli Affiliate: Paul Alivisatos | Summary:Atomic structures of nanomaterials are inherently dynamic, continuously reshaped through interactions with chemical species and external stimuli. Such dynamics are further amplified as the size and dimensionality of nanomaterials are reduced. Despite advances in analytical methods, it remains challenging to capture structural dynamics of nanomaterials in reactive environments with both […]
