Science takes to the streets p599 doi:10.1038/nmat4914 Opinion was divided about what the global Marches for Science were about. But it's time to abandon the notion that science should be apolitical.

Strong evidence for d-electron spin transport at room temperature at a LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface pp609 - 614 Ryo Ohshima, Yuichiro Ando, Kosuke Matsuzaki, Tomofumi Susaki, Mathias Weiler et al. doi:10.1038/nmat4857 Room-temperature spin transport is achieved in the d-electron-based two-dimensional electron gas at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface.

Direct 3D mapping of the Fermi surface and Fermi velocity pp615 - 621 K. Medjanik, O. Fedchenko, S. Chernov, D. Kutnyakhov, M. Ellguth et al. doi:10.1038/nmat4875 Time-of-flight momentum microscopy is developed. It enables direct three-dimensional mapping of the topology of the Fermi surface, identification of electron and hole pockets, and quantification of Fermi velocity as a function of wavevector.

Functional electronic inversion layers at ferroelectric domain walls pp622 - 627 J. A. Mundy, J. Schaab, Y. Kumagai, A. Cano, M. Stengel et al. doi:10.1038/nmat4878 Electric-field control of the conductivity of domain walls in ferroelectric ErMnO3 has been demonstrated. Reversible switching between conducting and insulating states is attributed to an inversion layer, which provides a channel for conduction.

Controlling the growth of multiple ordered heteromolecular phases by utilizing intermolecular repulsion pp628 - 633 Caroline Henneke, Janina Felter, Daniel Schwarz, F. Stefan Tautz and Christian Kumpf doi:10.1038/nmat4858 It is now shown that the phase of heteromolecular submonolayer films formed by adsorbates with opposite intermolecular interactions can be controlled by tuning the density of the gas phase of the species with repulsive character.

Nanoscale capillary freezing of ionic liquids confined between metallic interfaces and the role of electronic screening pp634 - 639 Jean Comtet, Antoine Niguès, Vojtech Kaiser, Benoit Coasne, Lydéric Bocquet et al. doi:10.1038/nmat4880 Ionic liquids are important for energy storage and lubrication but their behaviour at electrified interfaces remains elusive. Confined ionic liquids are now shown to exhibit a dramatic change to a solid-like phase pointing to capillary freezing.

Real-time impedance monitoring of oxygen reduction during surface modification of thin film cathodes pp640 - 645 Ghislain M. Rupp, Alexander K. Opitz, Andreas Nenning, Andreas Limbeck and Jurgen Fleig doi:10.1038/nmat4879 Cathodes with enhanced catalytic activity for oxygen reduction are needed for solid oxide fuel cells. Although perovskite-type oxides typically suffer from performance degradation, high surface activity is now shown to be related to a few active sites.

Photoelectrochemical water splitting in separate oxygen and hydrogen cells pp646 - 651 Avigail Landman, Hen Dotan, Gennady E. Shter, Michael Wullenkord, Anis Houaijia et al. doi:10.1038/nmat4876 Solar water splitting is promising for hydrogen production and solar energy storage, but for large-scale utilization cost must be reduced. A membrane-free approach in separate oxygen and hydrogen cells brings water splitting closer to applications.

Colloidal alloys with preassembled clusters and spheres pp652 - 657 Étienne Ducrot, Mingxin He, Gi-Ra Yi and David J. Pine doi:10.1038/nmat4869 Complex colloidal crystal structures can be obtained by a combination of preassembled units and DNA-mediated interactions. This enables, for instance, the generation of a MgCu2 structure with interpenetrating diamond and pyrochlore sublattices.

Antifogging abilities of model nanotextures pp658 - 663 Timothée Mouterde, Gaëlle Lehoucq, Stéphane Xavier, Antonio Checco, Charles T. Black et al. doi:10.1038/nmat4868 The antifogging properties of a structured surface can be considerably enhanced if the feature size is small enough and if the feature shapes are cones rather than cylinders.

The microstructure and micromechanics of the tendon–bone insertion pp664 - 670 L. Rossetti, L. A. Kuntz, E. Kunold, J. Schock, K. W. Müller et al. doi:10.1038/nmat4863 High-resolution imaging, composition analysis and mechanical testing provide a new insight into the structure and function of the Achilles enthesis.

Colony stimulating factor-1 receptor is a central component of the foreign body response to biomaterial implants in rodents and non-human primates pp671 - 680 Joshua C. Doloff, Omid Veiseh, Arturo J. Vegas, Hok Hei Tam, Shady Farah et al. doi:10.1038/nmat4866 By studying the immune responses of animals to different types of biomaterial implants, colony stimulating factor-1 receptor is revealed as an important mediator of the foreign body reaction and a possible target for fibrosis inhibition.
