Mooney doi:10.1038/s41563-018-0147-9 Immunotherapies have shown significant promise in cancer treatment. This Review discusses how a range of materials have been employed to enhance the effectiveness of these therapies by mediating their delivery and immunomodulatory activity.   Advertisement Editor's choice: International Space Station science Read a collection of research generated aboard the International Space Station from both Scientific Reports and npj Microgravity.  Access the collection >>>   Letters   Quantum spin liquids unveil the genuine Mott state    pp773 - 777 A. Pustogow, M. Bories, A. Löhle, R. Rösslhuber, E. Zhukova et al. doi:10.1038/s41563-018-0140-3 A thorough analysis of the optical and transport properties of several two-dimensional organic conductors and insulators with varying on-site correlation strengths and bandwidths led to a quantitative phase diagram for pristine Mott insulators.   Two-dimensional itinerant ferromagnetism in atomically thin Fe3GeTe2    pp778 - 782 Zaiyao Fei, Bevin Huang, Paul Malinowski, Wenbo Wang, Tiancheng Song et al. doi:10.1038/s41563-018-0149-7 Metallic ferromagnetism is reported in an exfoliated monolayer of the van der Waals material Fe3GeTe2.   Intermixing and periodic self-assembly of borophene line defects    pp783 - 788 Xiaolong Liu, Zhuhua Zhang, Luqing Wang, Boris I. Yakobson & Mark C. Hersam doi:10.1038/s41563-018-0134-1 Borophene grown under suitable conditions can have phase intermixing, with line defects in each phase adopting the unit structure of the other phase. Such 1D defects self-assemble into 2D periodic arrays, constituting new phases of borophene.   Sounds and hydrodynamics of polar active fluids    pp789 - 793 Delphine Geyer, Alexandre Morin & Denis Bartolo doi:10.1038/s41563-018-0123-4 Sound wave propagation is used to quantitatively describe the hydrodynamics of an active colloidal medium.   Articles   Large anomalous Hall current induced by topological nodal lines in a ferromagnetic van der Waals semimetal    pp794 - 799 Kyoo Kim, Junho Seo, Eunwoo Lee, K.-T. Ko, B. S. Kim et al. doi:10.1038/s41563-018-0132-3 A combined experimental and theoretical approach identifies the van der Waals material Fe3GeTe2 as a candidate ferromagnetic nodal line semimetal. These results extend the connections between topology and magnetism.   Room-temperature high spin–orbit torque due to quantum confinement in sputtered BixSe(1–x) films    pp800 - 807 Mahendra DC, Roberto Grassi, Jun-Yang Chen, Mahdi Jamali, Danielle Reifsnyder Hickey et al. doi:10.1038/s41563-018-0136-z Sputtered BixSe(1–x) thin films can generate very large current-induced spin–orbit torque, capable to switch both in-plane and out-of-plane magnetized CoFeB-based structures deposited on top, at room temperature.   A conductive topological insulator with large spin Hall effect for ultralow power spin–orbit torque switching    pp808 - 813 Nguyen Huynh Duy Khang, Yugo Ueda & Pham Nam Hai doi:10.1038/s41563-018-0137-y A large spin–orbit torque, generated in a conductive topological insulator (TI) Bi0.9Sb0.1 is further employed to effectively switch the magnetization of MnGa in a BiSb/MnGa bilayer Hall-bar device at room temperature.   Long-range symmetry breaking in embedded ferroelectrics    pp814 - 819 Hugh Simons, Astri Bjørnetun Haugen, Anders Clemen Jakobsen, Søren Schmidt, Frederik Stöhr et al. doi:10.1038/s41563-018-0116-3 Ferroelectricity can be modified by domain wall strain fields that extend over nanometres. Here, with X-ray microscopy, strain fields over several micrometres are observed in BaTiO3, suggesting ferroelectricity is globally altered throughout the material.   Fully textured monolithic perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells with 25.2% power conversion efficiency    pp820 - 826 Florent Sahli, Jérémie Werner, Brett A. Kamino, Matthias Bräuninger, Raphaël Monnard et al. doi:10.1038/s41563-018-0115-4 An optimized two-step deposition process allows the formation of uniform layers of metal halide perovskites on textured silicon layers, enabling tandem silicon/perovskite solar cells with improved optical design and efficiency.   Surface distortion as a unifying concept and descriptor in oxygen reduction reaction electrocatalysis    pp827 - 833 Raphaël Chattot, Olivier Le Bacq, Vera Beermann, Stefanie Kühl, Juan Herranz et al. doi:10.1038/s41563-018-0133-2 Tuning surface structure is key for electrocatalytic performance and stability of proton-exchange membrane fuel cells. Surface distortion as a structural descriptor can help to clarify the role of surface defects and to design enhanced nanocatalysts.   Therapeutic luminal coating of the intestine    pp834 - 842 Yuhan Lee, Tara E. Deelman, Keyue Chen, Dawn S. Y. Lin, Ali Tavakkoli et al. doi:10.1038/s41563-018-0106-5 The gastrointestinal tract is a therapeutic target for type-2 diabetes. An orally deliverable sucralfate-based material is shown to form a physical coating in the gut, capable of limiting glucose uptake and also administering drugs to the gut lining.   Amendments & Corrections   Publisher Correction: Carbon nanotubes as emerging quantum-light sources    p843 X.
