Let’s twist again
Nature Materials, Published online: 30 August 2024; doi:10.1038/s41563-024-01969-y
Filamentous viruses are a tunable platform for understanding the propagation of chirality across length scales, starting from the helical organization of major coat proteins on the virion surface to the liquid crystalline cholesteric phases formed in aqueous suspensions.

A general strategy for the vitrification of monatomic metals
Nature Materials, Published online: 30 August 2024; doi:10.1038/s41563-024-01973-2
The question of whether all materials can be put into glass form was raised half a century ago but has remained unanswered. Using picosecond pulsed laser ablation, the vitrification of gold — which has been notoriously difficult — and several other monatomic metals is demonstrated, indicating that vitrification is an intrinsic property of matter.

Twisted perovskite layers come together
Nature Materials, Published online: 30 August 2024; doi:10.1038/s41563-024-01982-1
The realization of twisted ligand-free two-dimensional halide perovskite-based moiré superlattices enables twistronic control of exciton dynamics in these systems and brings stimulating implications towards the development of halide perovskite photonic devices.
