Strength of the repulsive part of the interatomic potential determines fragility in metallic liquids pp792 - 796 Christopher E. Pueblo, Minhua Sun and K. F. Kelton doi:10.1038/nmat4935 Liquid fragility is a basic characteristic of glasses and there is debate as to what controls it. X-ray scattering of several metallic liquids now suggests that the strength of the repulsive part of the interatomic potential is key. |

Synthesis of Ti3AuC2, Ti3Au2C2 and Ti3IrC2 by noble metal substitution reaction in Ti3SiC2 for high-temperature-stable Ohmic contacts to SiC pp814 - 818 Hossein Fashandi, Martin Dahlqvist, Jun Lu, Justinas Palisaitis, Sergei I. Simak et al. doi:10.1038/nmat4896 Substitution of Si with Au and Ir in Ti3SiC2 through a solid-state diffusion process allows the synthesis of Ti3AuC2, Ti3Au2C2 and Ti3IrC2 phases able to form Ohmic contacts with SiC stable at high temperatures under ambient air conditions. |

Excitation-wavelength-dependent small polaron trapping of photoexcited carriers in α-Fe2O3 pp819 - 825 Lucas M. Carneiro, Scott K. Cushing, Chong Liu, Yude Su, Peidong Yang et al. doi:10.1038/nmat4936 The effect of polaron formation on photoconversion efficiency for oxide photocatalysts is not well known. Femtosecond extreme-ultraviolet measurements suggest that polaron localization is responsible for ultrafast trapping of photoexcited carriers in haematite. |

Universal quinone electrodes for long cycle life aqueous rechargeable batteries pp841 - 848 Yanliang Liang, Yan Jing, Saman Gheytani, Kuan-Yi Lee, Ping Liu et al. doi:10.1038/nmat4919 Aqueous rechargeable batteries are promising for grid storage and electric vehicles, but they suffer from poor cycle life due to anode instability. Exploiting stable ion-coordination charge storage and chemical inertness towards aqueous electrolytes, quinones are now reported as stable anodes.

Molecular engineering of chiral colloidal liquid crystals using DNA origami pp849 - 856 Mahsa Siavashpouri, Christian H. Wachauf, Mark J. Zakhary, Florian Praetorius, Hendrik Dietz et al. doi:10.1038/nmat4909 DNA origami allows the design of rod-shaped particles with specific geometrical features. This is exploited to examine how particle-level characteristics affect properties of the bulk phase and the superstructures such colloids assemble into. |
