Surveying silicon nitride nanopores for glycomics and heparin quality assurance OPEN
Buddini Iroshika Karawdeniya, Y. M. Nuwan D. Y. Bandara, Jonathan W. Nichols, Robert B. Chevalier & Jason R. Dwyer

The complexity of polysaccharides significantly complicates their analysis in comparison to other biopolymers. Here, the authors demonstrate that solid-state silicon nitride nanopore sensors can be used to reliably detect native polysaccharides and to perform a simple quality assurance assay on a polysaccharide therapeutic, heparin.

Large anomalous Hall effect in the chiral-lattice antiferromagnet CoNb3S6 OPEN
Nirmal J. Ghimire, A. S. Botana, J. S. Jiang, Junjie Zhang, Y.-S. Chen & J. F. Mitchell

Anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in antiferromagnets is intriguing and requires further understanding. Here the authors report large AHE in a chiral-lattice antiferromagnet CoNb3S6 of which the origin can be due to complex magnetic texture or broken time-reversal symmetry on the electronic band structure.

Atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides are an ideal platform to investigate the underlying physics of strongly bound excitons in low dimensions. Here, the authors demonstrate the formation of a bosonic condensate driven by excitons in two-dimensional MoSe2 strongly coupled to light in a solid-state resonator.

Enhanced photon collection enables four dimensional fluorescence nanoscopy of living systems OPEN
Luciano A. Masullo, Andreas Bodén, Francesca Pennacchietti, Giovanna Coceano, Michael Ratz & Ilaria Testa

Super-resolution microscopy often suffers from low contrast and slow recording times. Here the authors present an optical implementation which makes the fluorescent proteins’ ON–OFF switching cycles more efficient, enhancing contrast and spatio-temporal resolution in 3D cell and tissue imaging.

Intracellular interleukin-32γ mediates antiviral activity of cytokines against hepatitis B virus OPEN
Doo Hyun Kim, Eun-Sook Park, Ah Ram Lee, Soree Park, Yong Kwang Park, Sung Hyun Ahn, Hong Seok Kang, Ju Hee Won, Yea Na Ha, ByeongJune Jae, Dong-Sik Kim, Woo-Chang Chung, Moon Jung Song, Kee-Hwan Kim, Seung Hwa Park, Soo-Hyun Kim & Kyun-Hwan Kim

Cytokines such as TNF and IFN-γ are important for immunity against hepatitis B virus (HBV). Here the authors show that interleukin-32 gamma (IL-32γ) acts downstream of TNF and IFN-γ as an intracellular effector, and that IL-32γ negatively regulates host factors contributing to HBV transcription to promote HBV clearance.

Symmetry breakdown of 4,4″-diamino-p-terphenyl on a Cu(111) surface by lattice mismatch OPEN
Qigang Zhong, Daniel Ebeling, Jalmar Tschakert, Yixuan Gao, Deliang Bao, Shixuan Du, Chen Li, Lifeng Chi & André Schirmeisen

In a symmetric molecule with identical functional groups, selective activation of only one site is challenging. Here, the authors show that 4,4″-diamino-p-terphenyl adsorbs asymmetrically to a metal surface, leading to a change in binding affinity of one of its amine groups.

Enantioselective radical conjugate additions driven by a photoactive intramolecular iminium-ion-based EDA complex OPEN
Zhong-Yan Cao, Tamal Ghosh & Paolo Melchiorre

In enantioselective catalysis, electron donor–acceptor (EDA) complexes are usually photochemically activated in an intermolecular fashion. Here, the authors report the stereoselective conjugate addition to β-substituted cyclic enones proceeding without external photoredox catalysts via an intramolecular EDA complex.

Biased genome editing using the local accumulation of DSB repair molecules system OPEN
Shota Nakade, Keiji Mochida, Atsushi Kunii, Kazuki Nakamae, Tomomi Aida, Kohichi Tanaka, Naoaki Sakamoto, Tetsushi Sakuma & Takashi Yamamoto

Genome editing using CRISPR can be enhanced by manipulating DNA double-strand break repair pathways. Here the authors demonstrate LoAD, local accumulation of repair molecules, which shifts repair to microhomology-mediated end-joining.

Single-particle mass spectrometry with arrays of frequency-addressed nanomechanical resonators OPEN
Eric Sage, Marc Sansa, Shawn Fostner, Martial Defoort, Marc Gély, Akshay K. Naik, Robert Morel, Laurent Duraffourg, Michael L. Roukes, Thomas Alava, Guillaume Jourdan, Eric Colinet, Christophe Masselon, Ariel Brenac & Sébastien Hentz

Nano-electro-mechanical system-based mass spectrometry holds promise for detecting supramolecular assemblies at large molecular weights, but its efficiency is too poor to be practical. Sage et al. overcome this problem using a nanomechanical resonator array, which significantly decreases detection time.
