- Protein crystallization is poorly understood and difficult to program through the primary sequence. Here, a computational approach to designing 3D protein crystals with prespecified lattice architectures is shown. @UWBiochemistry @UWproteindesign @HHMINEWS go.nature.com/46RWbmr
- A lipid nanoparticle-based formulation incorporating engineered lipis containing a blood-brain-barrier-crossing moiety effectively delivers mRNA to neurons and astrocytes following systemic administration in mice. @yizhoudonglab
- 3D printable high-performance conducting polymer hydrogel for all-hydrogel bioelectronic interfaces @HyunwooYuk @ProfZhaoMIT

- Piezoelectrics have longitudinal and transverse piezoelectric coefficients opposite in sign. By tuning interface inversion asymmetry, auxetic systems are shown, with expansion or contraction along all directions under electric field. @WarwickPhysics go.nature.com/3t0Cvys
- Open-shell nanographenes are used to make antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 Heisenberg chains. The spin excitation spectra evolve from gapped to gapless following a power-law dependence on chain length, and standing waves of confined single spinons are seen.
- Check out our July issue, it is out! It covers semi-artificial photosynthesis, low-voltage ferroelectric switching, and exciton-polariton physics. A comment on flexible automation is also featured.
